📋 About This Mod
True Vampire - A Mod by Sorwen Current Version 0. 4/0. 4m Perk ID: XX000EAC =========== Here is my first try at a Fallout 3 mod. The reason I created this is because I thought it would be nice to have a more \"True Vampire\" rather than only the option of Hematophage (blood drinking cannibal). This currently comes in 4 varieties. Use only one file at a time to avoid possible conflicts/problems. I want to thank Lost Cosmonaut for his Night Vision mod. I learned how to create it for this mod through his Night Vision sunglasses Mod. Version 0. 4m Made each one a master file for use with ShieldBoyTV. No other changes made. Version 0. 4 True Vampire has been totally recreated to allow for variations and leveling by having multiple perks. --- True Vampire Requires: Blood Ties (The Family) quest. Quest can be completed or failed. Restricted from getting the Cyborg or Solar Powered Perks. In Game Description: A True Vampire gains +2 to Strength, Perception, Endurance, Agility. Adds +10 Cold Resist, does not Breath and is immune to Poison. Slowly regenerate HP and Wounds. At day -2 to SPEA, no regen, and damage while outside. This perk now contains only the following abilities Always On: +2 to Strength, Perception, Endurance, Agility +100 (Immune) to Poison +10 to Resist Frost -10 to Fire resist Does not breath At night: Regenerate Health and Wounds At day: -2 to Strength, Perception, Endurance, Agility (for a total of -4 penalty to each) No regeneration Take damage equal to regeneration rate to only Health if outside. This will not take you below 10% health. --- True Strength Requires: True Vampire and at least lv 2 Increases Carry Weight +10 per level Increases Melee Damage +1 per level Increases Unarmed Damage +1 per level Note: I\'m a little unhappy with the bonuses. I may make changes to them later. --- True Perception Requires: True Vampire and at least lv 4 True Vampire Night Vision Increases chance to hit in VATS per level Note: Currently Night Vision only works outside at night. I\'m working on it also automatically turning on in darker rooms as well. --- True Agility Requires: True Vampire and at least lv 6 +5 Action Points per level +10 to movement speed per level --- True Endurance Requires: True Vampire and at least lv 8 +10 Health points per level 2/3/4 Health per hour --- Undead Flesh Requires: True Vampire and at least lv 12 +10 to Damage Resistance +10 to Radiation Resistance AnyLevel - Can purchase without Blood Ties quest and not restriction on perks. Stat - AnyLevel with no day time stat penalties. * NoSmoke - AnyLevel with no smoke animation. ========================================================================================= Version 0. 3 All of the version 0. 3 files do the same as before, but with these additions and changes. Currently had to change feed

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Niche but appreciated—136 endorsements from a dedicated vampire-roleplay crowd.
- Over 5,000 downloads show it's been tried by a decent number of players.
- Fills a specific roleplay gap for those who want a classic vampire feel, not just a cannibal perk.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009—likely outdated and may have compatibility issues with modern mod setups.
- Description is thin, so you're going in blind about what the three variants actually do.
- As an early mod from a first-time author, expect rough edges or balance quirks.
For Fallout 3 players who want to roleplay as a classic vampire rather than a blood-drinking cannibal. If you're into vampire lore and want a simple alternative to Hematophage, this might scratch that itch. Skip if you need modern polish or detailed documentation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an old mod, make sure your Fallout 3 is fully patched and consider using a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's just an ESP, drop it into your Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
- If you're using other vampire mods, test load order to see which one takes precedence.
