📋 About This Mod
A NOTE ABOUT THE LITE VERSION
The "lite" version removes all changes to vanilla records and all newly added werewolf and vampire abilities. I did this to maximize compatibility with other werewolf and vampire mods, which has been a common request. Please be aware the result will definitely lead to some oddities, such as the ability to use Life Drain right in front of a guard without him raising an eyebrow. Also werewolves will never drop below 2 humanity and vampires will never drop below 1 unless they transform into beast form/vampire lord.
If you are interested in the lite version, you probably want to consider SLASHER:

SLASHER is redesigned from the ground up with most of the same features of the lite version, greater compatibility, and lots of options that have been specifically requested over the years such as support for hybrids, control over the cooldown period, and support for various "human" appearance modifiers such as equipment and behavior (all optional). After equipping the mask for the first time, werewolves and vampires can safely ignore the slasher form because they can sate their bloodlust by feeding instead of slashing. Eventually, the main version of this mod will be rewritten as a plugin for SLASHER.
Use only one plugin.
Predators is a role playing tool for werewolves and vampires. The aim is to reflect the healthy fear and wariness of the public around these cursed individuals.
Predators is highly customizable. YOU decide if being a beast of the night is your most defining trait, or just one more supernatural ability. You decide if the need to feed the beast is a constant, overpowering hunger or merely a minor annoyance. You decide if Predators is merely a roleplaying tool or the most powerful game mechanic in the game.
Upgrading: If you are upgrading from 3.x, cure yourself of your curse using the MCM and then upgrade. You may have to reset some of your custom settings. If you are upgrading from 2.x or before you will have to start a new game.
Green text indicates that there is an MCM option to tweak or disable a feature. MCM options will allow a player to tailor how much your predator nature dominates gameplay. You can make being a werewolf your primary concern in the game or reduce the effects to a mere occasional nuisance.
Secret Identity
Werewolves and vampires must keep their identities secret or become outlaws. There are three new tracked stats, which are compared to calculate the player's risk of being discovered.
The populace’s current level of concern that a werewolf or vampire might be living among them is measured by a new stat called Suspicion. This statistic is tracked separately for each hold and starts at 0 for most holds. Each time
