📋 About This Mod
This patch adds full Dynamic Activation Key (DAK) support to Better Vampires’ sneak‑feeding and sneak blood‑extraction features.
I created this patch to resolve an issue where using DAK with Better Vampires would trigger the dialogue menu before opening an NPC’s inventory for pickpocket‑feeding. This patch corrects that behavior. The plugin is ESPFE‑flagged.
How it works
-
[]Standing + DAK hotkey: Perform a normal feed.[/]
[]Sneaking + DAK hotkey: Access the blood‑extraction option (if enabled in your Better Vampires MCM settings).[/]
Not compatible with Vampire Feeding Tweaks.
This patch integrates the Dynamic activation key feature from SkyUI into Better Vampires' sneak feeding and blood potion extraction actions, allowing players to customize the key used for these actions. It's a small utility patch for Better Vampires users who want more control over their keybinds.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight integration with Better Vampires' sneak actions (377 endorsements).
- High download count (173,775) shows real demand for this patch.
- Simple, focused patch that does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Better Vampires and SkyUI to function, so it's not standalone.
- Only affects sneak feeding and blood potion extraction—no other vampire actions.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter Better Vampires' sneak mechanics.
For Skyrim players who use Better Vampires and want to rebind the sneak feed and blood potion extraction to a custom key via SkyUI's Dynamic Activation Key system. Skip if you don't use Better Vampires or prefer default keybinds.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Better Vampires and SkyUI are installed before adding this patch, and place it after them in your load order.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install the patch and avoid overwriting files manually.
- After installing, check the MCM for Better Vampires to configure the Dynamic Activation Key to your preferred key.
