📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
------------------------
This mod replaces the meshes and textures used by DVA (Dynamic Vampire appearance) for Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary edition.
In DVA the first 4 (stage 1-4) eyes use the same mesh without any glow maps, which does not allow for glowing eyes for any of those stage 1-4 eyes.
I gave every eye its own mesh, allowing the user to pick a glow level for each different feeding stage and even the combat eyes.
This replacer uses slightly modified textures from the "Lamae's Gaze" mod by Pandorable.

The sclera on the Lamae's Gaze textures were slightly changed to be more bloodshot to reflect the way DVA handles its stages.
REQUIREMENTS
------------------------
DVA - Dynamic Vampire Appearance SE port by jayserpa
INSTALLATION
------------------------
1. Install using Vortex or your preferred mod manager tool and pic the options you'd like through the FOMOD.
2. (Optional) Replace the textures and meshes with your preferred ones, as described under 'OPTIONAL CUSTOMIZABILITY!'
FEATURES
------------------------
Each different eye added by DVA now has its own glow map, which allows the user to install different glow_levels for every stage using a FOMOD installer.
You could have your eyes slowly grow more bright as your vampire infection grows stronger, or pick one glow level which all stages will share.
NEW DVA TEXTURES
Includes modified eye textures from the mod Lamae's Gaze by Pandorable. They are slightly changed to become more bloodshot the more days go by without feeding, just like the original DVA textures did.
OPTIONAL CUSTOMIZABILITY!
Prefer a different vanilla replacer mod? Download it manually and unpack those textures!
After installation and after you picked the glow levels you desire with the FOMOD, you can navigate to your Skyrim SE data folder to
.\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\textures\actors\character\dva\eyes\
and manually replace the eye textures and glow maps for each stage in this file to use textures from other vanilla replacer mods.
Make sure they keep the same name as the files you are replacing, and ensure you picked the 'No Glow' meshes if you use a vampire eye texture without a glow map!
