📋 About This Mod
I edited the "check for vampire keyword" to "check for dummy keyword" for certain dawnguard questline points. This essentially disables those parts from happening, parts like refusing to let player join when they are a vampire and dawnguard npc from detecting the player is a vampire when in fort. All other instances of vampire function in game is intact, Serana still sees you as a vampire.
Currently only supports joining dawnguard as a Vampire, vampire clan questline is still locked out when you refuse Harkons gift. (Although, I want to unlock them at some point. Looking into how.)
Compatible with USSEP and most mods. There is a patched version for At your own pace - Dawngaurd and not compatible with any other mod attempting do the same thing.

This mod removes Bethesda's restriction that prevents vampire players from joining the Dawnguard, allowing you to complete the entire Dawnguard questline while remaining a vampire. It's a niche quality-of-life fix for players who want to experience both sides of the conflict without starting a new character.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Unlocks a whole questline for vampire characters (176 endorsements show it works)
- No need to start a new playthrough just to see the Dawnguard content
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Small mod with limited community feedback (176 endorsements)
- May conflict with other mods that alter Dawnguard quest conditions

For Skyrim players who want to roleplay as a vampire but still experience the Dawnguard questline without starting a new character. Also great for completionists who want to see all quest content in one playthrough. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla restriction or prefer mods that add new content rather than tweak existing quests.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that affect the Dawnguard questline to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and test early in the Dawnguard quest to ensure it works.
- This mod only affects the questline restriction—it won't change vampire mechanics or Dawnguard rewards.
