📋 About This Mod

I like the Dawnguard glowing vampire eyes, but the original ones are not nice to look at. So I revamped the original Dawnguard vampire eyes a little bit.

I hope you enjoy it!

CHANGELOG:

Version 1. 2 - adding a completely revamped version of the dawnguard glowing vampire eyes

INSTALLATION:

Copy the files into your Skyrim data folder or use NMM for installation.

UNINSTALLATION:

Simply delete the files from your Skyrim data folder or uncheck this mod on NMM.

Please note:

This mod changes all vampire eyes to the downloaded vampire eyes automatically (also the nord race which don't use the glowing eye version originally). Should work with all races and genders. You can mix the glowing and non-glowing versions (eyevampire_01.dds and ..._02.dds), but you must add the files you want into your Skyrim folder manually. All downloadable files have the same eyes inside.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 2,477 endorsements and over 67k downloads
  • Simple texture replacer that enhances the original look without altering the aesthetic
  • Covers both glowing and non-glowing variants, giving players options

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2014, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods that overhaul vampire eyes
  • Only affects vampire eyes—if you're looking for broader visual overhauls, this won't cover other creatures or NPCs
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install—it'll handle the file placement automatically.
  • This mod replaces textures, so make sure it's not overwritten by other eye mods; load order matters if you have multiple texture replacers.
  • Since it's from 2014, test it with your current game version—if eyes look odd, try placing it lower in your mod list.
