📋 About This Mod
Claire Sylvain: A Vampire Companion WARNING: May give player-characters Porphyric Hemophilia without them noticing. This mod, as the name implies, adds a new companion to the game. Initially, she resides in a hidden room accessible from the exterior of Pell\'s Gate, directly south of the Imperial City. Features include: -Full-on inventory sharing. -Togglable aggression that changes Claire\'s follow/wait behavior as well as the stat. Stay very still or wander about when ordered to wait. -When following, Claire assumes the player\'s sneaking/weapon-out status automatically. -Standard vampiric attributes, primarily blood dependency and sunlight damage, along with AI behavior for Claire to effectively deal with them. To offset the added difficulty, Claire stays at five levels above the player. -Over fifty new lines of dialogue. -An alternate method of determining the player\'s vampirism, in regards to the aforementioned lines of dialogue with Claire, for maximum compatibility with the various vampire-overhaul mods out there. If Claire treats you as a vampire when she shouldn\'t, simply type \"set VampirishPlayer to 1\" into the console to revert the scripts to a more traditional method. ------------------------- Installation: ------------------------- OBSE REQUIRED! Extract the archive to Oblivion/Data, (Unless you use Elys\' Universal Silent Voice, which I strongly recommend, in which case you don\'t need the \"Sound\" folder in the archive) and activate VampireCompanion.esp using your preferred method. If you get annoying thumping sounds every few seconds while in Claire\'s vicinity, they can be removed by activating ScriptEffectSubduer.esp as well. Can be found here on the Nexus at http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16622. ------------------------------- Adventuring with Claire: ------------------------------- Note that this portion of the description isn\'t necessary to read, and increases the transparency of this mod significantly. If you don\'t mind that, or were freaked out by my warning up top, read on. Claire has four levels of blood-thirst, increasing in level every 24 hours she goes without feeding. If she\'s at her home and not in companion-mode, she\'ll automatically revert to and remain at the second level the next time it\'s calculated. Level 1 means she\'s just fed on a living target. After twelve hours in this state, she\'ll feed on any sleeping humanoids she happens across, which will start Level 1 over again. Twelve hours into level 2, she\'ll feed on any humanoid corpses dead for less than an hour she encounters as well as sleeping humanoids. Doing so will revert her to the beginning of level 2. Twelve hours into level 3, she\'ll feed on creature-corpses as well (Not undead, naturally). This doesn\'t differ from feeding on humanoid corpses, and will likewise put her at the beginning of level 2. At level 4 she becomes mad with thirst. She will attack about any non-va
