📋 About This Mod

Simple mod that lets vampires craft the blood potions added by the Dawnguard DLC.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This Skyrim mod lets vampire players craft vanilla blood potions at cooking pots using hearts and raw red meat, with a strict version limiting ingredients to human hearts, flesh, and daedra hearts. It's vanilla-friendly, adds no new items, and hides recipes unless you're a vampire. Compatible with most vampire mods and safe to add/remove anytime.

✨ Key Features

Craft vanilla blood potions at cooking pots as a vampire using hearts and raw red meat.
Strict version available that only allows human hearts, human flesh, and daedra hearts.
No new items added; recipes only appear if you're a vampire to reduce menu clutter.
Compatible with mods that edit vampires or add vampire races using the Vampire keyword.
Addons available for other mods to include their meats and hearts.
Safe to install or uninstall at any time; crafted potions remain in inventory.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 154 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
  • Fills a niche gap—other blood potion mods add extra junk or restrict ingredients.
  • Vanilla-friendly design means no conflicts with most vampire overhauls.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only works for vampires—if you're not one, the recipes are hidden, so no use for non-vampire characters.
  • Insect and seafood meat are excluded, which might disappoint players wanting those options.
  • Compatibility with mods that add new meats or hearts requires manual addons, so not all content is covered out of the box.
🎯 Is This For You?
For vampire roleplayers who want a simple, immersive way to sustain their blood thirst without hunting down specific ingredients. Also for players who prefer lightweight mods that don't clutter the crafting menu. Skip if you're not playing a vampire or want more complex blood mechanics.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure your character is a vampire before heading to a cooking pot—recipes won't show otherwise.
  • If you use a mod that adds new meats or hearts, check the mod page for addons or request one from the author.
  • Since it's safe to remove anytime, feel free to test it without worrying about breaking your save.
