📋 About This Mod

Thought it was strange how NPCs would freak out when I talked to them, but guards would just look the other way as I ran by.

Now guards behave as they should towards a full fledged vampire!

Recommend Optional file for receiving a bounty of 500g when stage 3 to make it more dangerous to be a vampire.  Guards will try to arrest you on site at stage 3 now, but wont kill on sight until stage 4.

This mainly aims to recreate how I felt as a Vampire in Morrowind!

Use with my

 Stronger Vampirism mod for best effect!

Also highly recommend Bounty Regional Decrease!-Allows your stage 3 bounty to gradually decrease

I made this mod to go along with my Oblivion Prepare to Die mod collection!  Check it out if you are interested in a more skill based & lethal version of Oblivion!

Attack on sight doesn't affect some guards who have a script for now... So use the "Optional" Bounty version for best results

NOTE Must use "Stage 3 Vampirism Bounty" for the notifications from the screenshots to appear*

INSTALL 

Just unzip the archive and drop the esp into the data folder

"Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data"

After that add "Stage 3 Vampirism Bounty.esp" and "Guards Attack Vampires.esp" to your Plugins.txt document

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This small gameplay mod makes guards attack Stage 4 vampires on sight, with an optional bounty for Stage 3 vampires. It's a simple tweak for players who want more aggressive guard behavior. With 28 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional addition.

✨ Key Features

Guards attack Stage 4 vampires on sight
Optional Stage 3 vampires get a 500 gold bounty

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat
  • Recent update (June 2025) means it's likely still compatible
  • Adds a fun risk for vampire players, making stealth more important

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 28 endorsements—small user base, might not be thoroughly tested
  • Could conflict with other mods that alter guard AI or vampire stages
  • Limited scope—only affects Stage 4 (and optionally Stage 3) vampires
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want guards to actually react to high-level vampires, adding a bit of challenge. If you're a vampire player who likes to waltz into cities, this will make you think twice. Skip if you prefer a more passive guard system or use mods that overhaul guard behavior.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're playing a vampire, be careful when entering cities—guards will attack on sight, so have a plan or a disguise.
  • The optional Stage 3 bounty is a separate file, so you can choose to install it or not depending on your preference.
  • Since this mod changes guard behavior, it's best to load it after other mods that affect guards to ensure it takes priority.
