Available on Xbox thanks to Snipey360


"Behold the power!"

Does vanilla Vampire Lord underwhelm you and you always find yourself siding with Dawnguard or being a werewolf companion? You may want to reconsider that because now you have a new and intimidating appearance. Weak, pale looking and chick winged Vampire Lords are bygone!




It is funny that in vanilla game a "Vampire Lord" does not look as intimidating as an ordinary troll.

This mod adds armor variants, bigger wings, 8K skin retexture, new hairs, new wing textures, glowing Daedric Runes on the body, crown, amulet and rings while also making Vampire Lord's (VL) eyes compatible with the player's vampire eyes. So, if you install a vampire eye mod for your character you can see them on VL too. Body is also adjusted to look more muscular and strong especially the upper arms and forearms. This mod even allows you to be invisible while using your bats power, contrary to some other mods changing its appearance. Installation is available via a FOMOD, you can choose what features you want. Most changes are restricted to player VL as I wanted some diversity between the two lords. Lord Harkon has new wings, body and eyes but has vanilla armor and no jewelry.

Thanks to DoctorNostalgia for this great video!


5 Armor variants:
4 armors total for both genders plus an extra variant for female (Ahzidal armor).
More variants will be added in the future updates.


Wings are really small and look like chick wings in vanilla game. This is immersion breaking especially if you are using a flying mod. I aimed to make them look better and more immersive by increasing their size and then reducing the unnecessarily thick bone sizes. Bones were moved behind the wings to make them less noticeable from front. Note: Some screenshots include older wing versions so their wing bones may seem thicker but this is not the case in current version don't worry.

Eyes are almost pitch black and use dremora lord eye textures in vanilla game. Using vampire eye textures is much more fitting since the player is not a dremora lord. Eye textures are now linked with vampire eye textures of the player character, so they will look and glow accordingly while you are in VL form. (You need a separate vampire eye mod if you want different eye color than vanilla. A few of them are stated down below in the description.)
Eye Mod Examples:


Crown of the Lord Harkon was added to the armor set.

As a devoted disciple of Molag Bal and a noble vampire, carry its Amulet and blessing? with you.


I thought enabling the player to see these magical instruments in action would be a good idea, since the rings of blood magic are tools for enhancing the Vampire Lord's powers. (now they glow with v1.4)

Besides, these are not meaningless and randomly placed rune letters. I improvised them and each separate sentence has a meaning. The first post translating these sentences will be pinned. (Done.)

Body appearance was one more thing feeling vague in vanilla game. Vampire Lord looks weak and skinny despite its powers. For this reason, some adjustments were made on the body. These are just slight improvements from my point of view. Female face adjusted to be more feminine and body parts were improved to fix the weak look of it. I could not increase sizes further to prevent any clipping between body and armor. I can make even more muscular body with unarmored or vanilla armored versions in the future.

Some mods break Bats Power or Mist Form powers and makes you still visible or transparent while using them. You will not have this problem using my mod:

This mod does not require any mod.
  • Install/uninstall whenever you want with any mod manager just like any other mod.
  • If you have other mods making changes on Vampire Lord, let this mod overwrite their files.
  • Load/installation order have to be after any other Vampire Lord or vampire related mod.
  • Safe to install mid-game. You don't need to start a new game or install this mod while you are not a vampire.
This mod does not contain an esp plugin.

Compatibility:
Compatible with Vampire Lord gameplay mods because this mod only changes the VL's appearance, not the skills, perks, powers or stats. As long as a vampire/Vampire Lord related mod doesn't change the player VL's armor/model, or give Lord Harkon's armor set to the player with a perk, there will not be any compatibility issue. I will try to create patches for incompatible mods in the future upon request.

- If your Vampire Lord is looking naked, revert back to human form once to fix this. This only happens when you were in the VL form in your save before you installed my mod, so the game couldn't apply the new changes yet.


"Lion among sheep."

Compatible with Better Vampire Lords mod.
- For Better Vampire Lords mod:
Let my mod overwrite its files.
You need to unlock the "Sovereign's Armor" perk to equip your armor.

Except texture mods, my mod is not compatible with any mod that make visual changes on the Vampire Lord such as body model, skin textures, wings, armor and eyes.

Some details regarding me and this mod:
Spoiler:  
Show
This is my first mod. In fact, I was trying to make different Vampire Lord mods work with each other without issues but I kept encountering problems or glitches, so instead of trying to make mods work with each other without problems, I started from scratch to make my own mod. During this period, I learned some basics about modding and started to customize the VL according to my personal taste. In the end, the result was really good and I wanted to share my work with you. Thank you for your time.
