(There's currently no option for beast races but you can use my other mod "Of Melodies and Moonlight" and use the painter's hat (id: AB_a_NetchimanCap ) to hide your vampirism, which works for beast races as well).
Closed OAAB helmets can be used to hide vampirism if you install my "Of Melodies and Moonlight - A Sadrith Mora Artist" mod which requires OAAB and TR Data anyway and already utlizises a tiny snippet of this mod's script to hide vampirism via helmets. Of Melodies and Moonlight can communicate with this mod via the global. Therefore, it is able to extend this mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 251 endorsements and over 57k downloads.
- Actively maintained—last updated August 2025, so it's likely compatible with current patches.
- Adds meaningful gameplay depth with thirst mechanics and disguise-based stealth.
⚠️ Cons
- Generic disguise system could feel shallow if it's just one item with no variety.
For vampire enthusiasts who want a more immersive, survival-style experience with consequences for feeding. Also great for stealth players who enjoy disguise mechanics. Skip if you prefer simple, straightforward vampire buffs without extra management.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's forum posts or comments for any hidden requirements, since the description doesn't list dependencies.
- Test the disguise mechanic in a safe area first—NPC aggression can be brutal if you're unprepared.
- Keep blood flasks handy; they're essential for managing thirst and healing.
