📋 About This Mod
Description:
At some point Bethesda decided to sneakily disable the random vampire attacks on towns from Dawnguard in an update, while I'm sure some folks rejoiced at this fact I happened to like them, so this tiny mod brings them back by fixing the conditions on the quest nodes that Beth disabled.
Someone: Is this compatible with X?
Me: Should be compatible with anything that doesn't touch the DLC1VQ00VampireAttackNodePM and DLC1VQ00VampireAttackNodeAM quest nodes, only mod I can think of that would do that would be one to disable the attacks, those mods are no longer needed if you want to do that anyway.
Installation:
Install manually or using a mod manager.
