Ring of Namira - Improved

Description

The Ring of Namira is among the more lackluster Daedric Artifacts you may find in Skyrim, but it can be quite useful for a Bosmer character or someone with little-to-no moral compass but a need for a quick Survival Mode-enforced lunch. However, it's also a bit clunky to use, and if you're using a mod that changes some other artifacts without touching this one (like ElectricSparx's amazing Antiquary - Enhanced Artifacts mod), it can feel much weaker than it truly is. Furthermore, vampires can't even satiate their bloodlust by eating a fresh corpse.

This mod makes some small but much-needed improvements to the Ring of Namira. The duration of the Health and Health Regeneration bonuses you receive after an act of cannibalization are increased from the vanilla five (5) minutes to ten (10) minutes. Vampires can now quench their thirst for blood by cannibalizing fresh kills. Finally, a condition has been added to the cannibalization effect that checks if the player is sneaking; if they aren't, you won't see that occasionally annoying pop-up asking if you'd like to loot or eat a dead person.

An optional file created by Styyxus will cause the Ring of Namira to make you immune to Survival Mode's Food Poisoning effect. Bearers of the Ring of Namira don't receive diseases from feasting upon the corpses of their fallen foes, so I see no reason why eating a raw rabbit leg would suddenly have them feeling ill. The optional file, of course, requires the Survival Mode Creation Club content!

Both files are ESL-Flagged ESPs, meaning they will not take up space in your load order. Isn't that lovely?

Installation

Use Mod Organizer 2.

Requirements

The optional file requires the Survival Mode Creation Club content!

Compatibility

This mod will not be compatible with other mods that edit the Ring of Namira. Certain artifact overhauls, like Reliquary of Myth - Artifacts of Skyrim, make their own edits to the Ring of Namira, and, unless a patch is made, you won't see the benefits of this mod on their versions of the ring. Furthermore, the changes introduced in Actually usable Ring of Namira and Vampiric ring of Namira are already incorporated in this mod, so you don't need to use them. Yippee!

Compatible with Antiquary - Enhanced Artifacts as that mod makes no edits to the Ring of Namira or its effects.

According to aljoxo, this mod should be loaded after their Vestige - An Artifact Overhaul mod.

The optional file may be incompatible with mods that overhaul or make changes to the Survival Mode Creation Club content. I know for a fact that it works with Survival Mode Improved - SKSE, though, so you should probably just use that instead of any other Survival Mode overhaul, I think!

Yes, this is compatible with Legacy of the Dragonborn SSE
