📋 About This Mod
ATTN SKYRIM SPECIAL EDITION PC AND CONSOLE USERS!
I will be porting all my mods to SSE for PC, and all but DVA (because SKSE) for consoles. Porting will start in December (getting new computer) so it will be a bit of a wait, but I am planning on updating each and adding a bit more content so hopefully it will be worth it.
To impatient players and modders: I'm totally fine if you want to port them for personal use, but do so at your own risk and please do not post them. Some will be getting quite a bit of clean up to get the size down, and running the current mod and then updating may cause issues.
Stay tuned.
1. 0 - Initial release 1. 1 - ECE compatible 1. 2 - Added MadCat221's fanged Harkon. Removed an unnecessary edit to the Nord Vampire race to ensure compatibility with another mod I may release.
Skyrim version 1. 9. 32. 0. 8 or later Dawnguard DLC
This mod is meant to be a companion mod to my BVFE - Better Vampire Fangs and Eyes mod, though it is not required and both can run independent of each other. This mod is completely stand-alone, meaning no other mods are required. This also means you can choose any of the body types regardless of the body type you are using. Serana and Valerica are made over and are now full vampires. They include my fangs and your choice of glowing or normal eyes. Because Lord Harkon's script turns him back to Nord after his vampire lord transformation, I can't change too much. He only gets the eye changes, no fangs.
Warning:
Because I've changed Serana's race from Nord to NordVampire, I don't know how it will effect her if you "cure" her. So at this point I would recommend this mod only for those that plan on keeping Serana a vampire. If you do want to cure her, do so at your own risk!Thanks to Hodilton for putting this video together!

The mod is available in three body flavors: CBBE, UNP and CNHF. Keep in mind however, that it is stand-alone so you are free to choose the body you want even if it doesn't match the one you personally use in game. If you use UNP, but you like how the Dread Huntress armor looks on her, choose CBBE. Each body type is available with glowing and non-glowing eyes for a total of 6 options:
BVFE Serana CBBE BVFE Serana Glow CBBE BVFE Serana UNP BVFE Serana Glow UNP BVFE Serana CNHF BVFE Serana Glow CNHF
Pick your option and install with NMM, or download manually, unzip and drop in your data folder. If you decide you want to change options, just overwrite the files.
A cosmetic overhaul for Serana, Valerica, and Harkon from Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC, adding fangs and eyes from the author's BVFE mod. With nearly 16,000 endorsements and 295,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players wanting a fresh look for the vampire family. Last updated in 2013, so compatibility with current Skyrim versions may vary.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 15,992 endorsements and 295,769 downloads
- Gives the vampire family a cohesive, upgraded look
- Lightweight cosmetic mod that doesn't touch gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — might not work with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches
- Requires the BVFE mod for the fangs and eyes, so it's not standalone
- Only affects three NPCs, so if you want more vampire overhauls, this is limited
For Skyrim players who love Dawnguard and want Serana, Valerica, and Harkon to look more striking. If you're into vampire roleplay or just want a fresh face for your favorite vampire waifu, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a broader NPC overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the BVFE mod installed first, or the fangs and eyes won't show up.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if there's a port or use a mod manager to convert the files.
- Load order doesn't matter much for cosmetic mods, but put it after any other mods that change Serana's appearance.
