I Can't Feed

You have to feed on a corpse that is recently killed. Sometimes, because of the timing of scripts and when Skyrim actually flags a NPC as dead, you may have more time to feed on a dead body or you may be unable to feed in as little as 15 seconds. Sadly there is nothing more I can do on my end with respect to timing - but it works 90% of the time so I am satisfied with the results.

Entering a new area that already has dead bodies in it will allow you to feed on them at any time because no time of death has been recorded for the NPC - no ToD means no timeframe that you have to feed within.

You can try to reset your vampirism if things have glitched. Use the "Reset Better Vampires" menu option and then use the "Reset Sanguinare Vampiris" menu option. Wait as you would normally and turn back into a vampire; once you feed things should be back to normal.

You can also try to disable my mod, delete all files related to my mod, re-download, and re-enable. If you remove mods that impact vampirism after mine has been enabled the game may revert my scripts to the originals - it will be like my mod is not even there.

The mod author of a custom race may have failed to attach the proper tags so you can be recognized as a vampire. If you are using a custom race, you may have to use my "Fix Feeding For Custom Race" customization menu option to be able to feed normally; BUT only use it if you have to. REMOVED

The author of any custom race can easily make a vampire version of their race (or you can too if you are so inclined):

1) Load the custom race .esp in the Creation Kit

2) Open the custom race (i.e. look for LunariRace)

3) Change the ID of the race to "yourcustomracenameVampire" (i.e. LunariRaceVampire)

4) Change the name of the race to "yourcustomracename Vampire" (i.e. Lunari Vampire)

5) Save this as a new race, don't overwrite the original

6) Open up the race you just created

7) Add the keywords "Vampire", "ActorTypeNPC", and "ActorTypeUndead" to your new race (General Data, under Keywords)

8 ) Add the spells "VampireHuntersSight", "VampirePoisonResist", and "VampireVampirism" to your new race (General Data, under Specials)

9) Save your new race

10) Save your custom race .esp and exit the Creation Kit

After this, you can use the console to "setrace yourcustomracenameVampire" (i.e. setrace LunariRaceVampire) and you'll be able to feed normally and be identified as a vampire in the game.

NOTE: Be sure you use my menu option to infect yourself with Sanguinare Vampiris and rest 3 days so you have all the vampire perks and scripts running in the background. You cannot just change your race, you have to have the PlayerVampireQuest script running in the background too!

To cure yourself, use my menu to reset vampirism, cure your disease before 3 days are up, and use the console to "setrace yourcustomracename" (i.e. setrace LunariRace).
