About this mod
Overhauls vampirism and gives incentive to feed often. Stage 1 vampirism is unchanged. Stage 2 and 3 vampirism are similar to vanilla stage 4, with a few added greater powers. At stage 4 you are now starving and severely weakened with some new ghostly powers, and must feed to regain your strength.

Ported over from my mod for the oroginal Oblivion
Description
===========
I love playing as a vampire in oblivion, and really enjoy the concept and simplicity of the vanilla system, however I had several gripes and found the other vampirism overhauls change the system too drastically.
Only stage 4 and stage 1 vampirism were really useful, leading to me waiting 3 days every time I wished to use my vampire powers in a dungeon. Also, there was no incentive to feed other than to interact with vendors which seemed unrealistic.
This mod changes things, such that stage 2 and stage 3 vampirism are essentially the same as the vanilla stage stage 4, while the new stage 4 is a malnourished ghostly state where you are severely weakened and have incentive to feed.
Some additional lesser and greater powers have been added to stages 2,3 and 4 of vampirism, mainly for roleplaying purposes. They are not overpowered, and spells you can make your self will generally be stronger.
I have also included a slightly modified version of hunters sight toggle by kynetarse (thank you for the original script) as I felt this was more realistic.
I have tried to add the ghost effect for stage 4 vampirism, however it is extremely buggy and wont remove itself after feeding. If anyone knows a good workaround, please tell me. For now, I have settled with a chamelion effect.
The stage 4 vampirism debuffs are applied through a slotless equippable item you cannot see or remove. I tried using an ability like with the buffs, but this decreases the base attribute/skill value to 0, making leveling the skill easier which was not intended.
