Version 6 is live - check out the video on the mod page
If reporting a bug - give me details and include any mods you have that related to Vampire or Werebeast. I can't do anything to fix stuff without detail. Here are some examples: What Vampire mods do you have? What Werebeast mods do you have? What Lich mods do you have? What race are you using? Did you have Tainted Blood installed before becoming Vampire? Did you have Tainted Blood installed before becoming Werebeast?
Given the level of interest in Lich mods - I'm considering making my own Lich mod for Undeath, obviously it would be compatible with hybrids.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas over on the SE forum page here - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/9312/?tab=forum&topic_id=8931358
I know that this mod is no longer supported, but i feel the need to warn everyone of the counteless problems this mod has:
- In general, the comunication about what the mod does and how to use it is incredibly confusing. The nexus mod description has a part of the info, the book added in-game has another chunk, and then you have to watch the youtube video which has another part of information. All these three sources are not exahustive and you basically need to read/watch all three to understand what the mod does and how to use it. - Even if it is a mod that would have no reason to add stuff to the game, as soon as you install it, a Book and THREE DIFFERENT powers are added to you character. The book basically contains the same info of the mod page (making it useless; i mean the author could have just made the book obtainable through commands if someone really wanted to read the info midgame); also one of the powers just opens the settings, just as the book, so making one of the two redundant. - All the setting menus are atroucious at best, no skyrim mod has menus this bad. Literally the whole mod could have been a 5-setting-long MCM menu. - The are multiple settings about the Lich, which I think the avarage downloader of the mod has no idea what that is, as they are installing the mod just for Vampire-Werewolf hybrid. Those settings are just mixed with everything else, making everything more confusing. - Quick switching between forms in enabled by default, which makes no sense, as most people just download the mod to be a Vampire-Werewolf hybrid, not to change the gameplay of the game. Is a nice feature, should no be deault. - The Tainted Blood Ritual is the stupidest way ever to perform what the mod is supposed to do. Lets just say you want (to use mod terminology) Pacify one of the forms: well, you need to cast a power, which for some reason get casted as a master spell, which means you have to wait 5 seconds just to cast it, then a magic explosion happens which distrupts NPCs and objects around you, also it last another 5-8 seconds (in addition to being incredibly cringe) - Literally every change you make in the Tainted Blood Ritual menu, makes your charater have a seizure. - Cosmetic changes remove your helmet and armor (without reequipping them afterwards). They also open the character customization menu for some reason. - At the end ot the Tainted Blood Ritual, you are forced to see a 10+ second long animation of your character "transforming" after applying the changes; in the cringest and edgiest fashion I have ever seen. - This mod for absolutely no reason at all, adds like a lot of craftable armors to the game (with logos of the modding team I guess). This is the craziest thing I saw a mod doing. Mods which have no reason to add stuff to the game, SHOULD NOT add stuff to the game. Those armors are mandatory, you are forced to install them along with the Vampire-Werewolf hybrid part of the mod.
In conclusion, this mod could have been easily been a simple MCM, add stuff absolutely not realated to the mod (with a narcisistic complex of the author at fault), and as you can read from the counteless bug reports, it is also often malfunctioning.
The main issue is that the only other famous mod which allows Vampire-Werewolf hybrid (Curse of the Dragonborn), does not work in the most recent skyrim version; therefore anyone who wants to avoid the the problems of the vanilla approach is forced to use this very low quality mod.
So, I've scrolled through several pages of comments and bug reports and I've found nothing about this one issue I'm having. Are the various abilities (shapeshift menu and the individual beast and vampire lord forms) supposed to be unequipped every single time you revert form? It's only not done that a couple times, and having to reselect the ability every time I want to transform is rather irksome. If it's not intentional, I have no idea what would be causing it or how to fix it either, since I have the necessary patch for my mods and everything else works properly.
I have no idea what causes this, but i can't pacify my lycanthropy anymore and i still get vampire effects even through it's supposed to be pacifed. I tried reinstalling the mod, reloading it, embracing lycantropy and trying to pacify it, curing my lycanthropy and then gifting it back but nothing works, the only mod known i have that changes anything is Growl and i have the patch for it installed...
sadly this mod isnt as compatible with vampire and werewolf mods as advertised. it flat out just doesnt really work with better vampire, which is the second most popular vampire overhaul mod, as it breaks several of better vampires systems. one notable one to mention is when using mortals mask, it glitches the game, doesnt change your appearance back to your vampire appearance, and even unlearns some of your better vampires spells. it also seems to break completely upon gaining your werewolf form from the companions questline, with the better vampires mod removing your vampire status entirely, thus cant benefit from its effects, despite this mod still reading you as both. its unfortunate but not a huge deal to me, as i really only wanted it so i didnt have to worry about losing my vampire status upon doing the companions questline, and didnt really care all that much about having a werewolf form on top of my vampire form. that being said, its a little weird to advertise the mod as being compatible with most werewolf and vampire mods, when it literally breaks upon interacting with certain features of the second most popular vampire mod out there.bit of a additional note, upon reading other comments, it seems this mod doesnt function well with sacrosanct either, THE biggest vampire mod out there lol.
Hi, great work u have done! I just finish the job of turning into werewolf and havent become a vampire lord yet, is it the right time to plug in the mod? Also if I install this mod, will there be any issue playing companions and vampire story line?
