📋 About This Mod
Want to be a Vampire, but don't want to fight 10s of Vampires to do it? Want to be a Lycan, but don't want to fight 10s of Werewolves or Wereboars to do it? Then this mod is for you! It makes it somewhat easier to get infected, and it's guaranteed ... if you can find a Witch Coven.
Adds three new quests providing this "service" to the Witch Coven pool of quests; Curse of the Vampire, Curse of the Werewolf, and Curse of the Wereboar... you need to have 20 rep with the witches before you can get access to these "curses" and they will cost you 2500 gold.
ALSO NOW, if you fail most of their standard quests, they will curse you with vampirism or a form of lycanthropy ... randomly, but for free. Failure in the rest will result in a case of the Witches' Pox.
PLUS, added other new Witch quests/services, including; A Cure for Night Curses (available at rep 10, this lets you buy the potion to cure your vampirism or lycanthropy at a cost of 5000 gold, so you don't have to fail the "A Special Mixture" quest to get it), plus some additional "simple" quests asking you to collect certain quantities of generic "night creature" ingredients - allowing you to get them any way you can (buy them, steal them, find and/or hunt for them; within a fairly generous time frame).
AND ALSO, I've made some other slight improvements to the existing Witch Coven quests, dialogue and log entries make a bit more sense and all quest items are made permanent if you don't complete the quest in time - to make up somewhat for the curses. A backup of the original witch quests is provided in the download.

Witch Covens are few and far between, but you can discern the location for these hard to find Witch Covens by downloading one of my other mods, An Adventurer's Guide to Witch Covens, which adds a new book to the game.
PLUS, my upcoming Crypts And Cults mod will be adding numerous Daedric Witch Cults to various and random expanded rural and urban Mausoleum crypts where you will also be able to access these quests, as well as the Witch Daedra Summoning service.

Witch Curses - Vampirism And Lycanthropy lets you pay Witch Covens to become a vampire or werewolf, but failing their quests can get you randomly cursed. It also adds new quests and improvements. A niche quest mod with 110 endorsements and 14,161 downloads, last updated November 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction with 110 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Offers a fresh way to become a vampire or werewolf without the usual methods.
- Adds risk-reward gameplay with random curses for failed quests.
⚠️ Cons
- Small mod with a niche audience—110 endorsements means it's not widely tested.
- No details on quest depth or how the curses integrate with existing systems.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Witch Covens or transformation mechanics.
For Skyrim players who want a new path to vampirism or lycanthropy and enjoy quest-driven content. If you're looking for a major overhaul or deep narrative, this might be too light. Skip if you prefer straightforward transformations without extra quests.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if you have any mods that change Witch Covens or their quests to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep your load order clean.
- Save before attempting a coven quest to avoid an unwanted random curse.
