📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod removes or reduces the sun damage effect (Health, Stamina, Magicka + Damage to Regeneration Rate) applied to all vampires when wearing any type of head gear (Hoods, Helmets, Cloaks, ect).
Details
- []Removes/Reduces Level 1-4 'Weakness to Sunlight' (Health, Stamina, and Magicka + Regen) damage from all vampires when your character or NPC is wearing any type of helmet, hood, cloak, ect..[/]
I have included several versions...
VAMPIRE NO SUN DAMAGE: (Skyrim + Dawnguard) Removes all penalties to Health Magicka & Stamina caused by the 'Weakness to Sunlight' effect (Damage to Regeneration Rate + Damage to Stats) while your hood/helmet is equipped.
VAMPIRE NO SUN DAMAGE - REGEN: (Skyrim + Dawnguard) This version permanently removes the Health Magicka & Stamina Regeneration Rate Damage from the 'Weakness to Sunlight' effect, regardless if your hood/helmet is equipped or not. Sun damage will only alter your stats.
VAMPIRE NO SUN DAMAGE - REDUCED: Reduces all penalties to Health Magicka & Stamina caused by the 'Weakness to Sunlight' effect (Damage to Regeneration Rate + Damage to Stats) by 50% while your hood/helmet is equipped.
You only need to install 1 of the main files.
Update
1. 3 Added all Skyrim hooded robes.
1. 2 Released 'REDUCED' version which reduces damage by 50% when wearing hood,helmet, or cloak.
1. 1 I corrected the Dawnguard edit which changed the Level 3 'Weakness to Sunlight' regen rate damage incorrectly from 100% to 75%.
