📋 About This Mod
TURNS THE COMPANIONS QUESTS INTO AN EPIC BATTLE OF WEREWOLVES AGAINST VAMPIRES! COMPANION FOLLOWERS TURN INTO WEREWOLVES DURING COMBAT TOO!
Makes the Companions quests a savage struggle of werewolves vs vampires, reminiscent of the Underworld movies! It's a remake of Lycans vs Vampires, from the Steam Skyrim workshop, with significant improvements, the best, arguably is you don't have to start a new game. Same as the latest version available for Xbox, which has more than 40,000 downloads on Bethesda.net.

SPOILER ALERT
The description gives away some surprises of the quests, but only if necessary to explain what the mod does.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 3. 2
(1) Fixed an issue where Uthgerd sometimes turned into a werewolf during the brawl with the player (many thanks to ThunderBoy301 for
reporting the issue).
(2) Disabled the werewolf turn ability in specific locations, so the NPCs won't turn during attacks in towns by dragons, cultists, wizards
and vampire, if using an earlier version of Skyrim SE that still has vampire attacks on towns (many thanks to MrPavoni72 for suggesting this enhancement to the mod).
For more details, see, "Changes in the Latest Release".
WHAT YOU GET
[]VAMPIRE FOES. Encounters with Silverhand are beastly battles with vampires! They’re now vampires (with vampire spells; armor; and loot like blood potions and enchanted items) or vampires’ thralls with quicksilver ingots and silver weapons. (To get vampires for more Companions quests, see, “Other Mods You Might Like”.)
[]WEREWOLF COMPANIONS. It doesn't make sense only two Companions turn into werewolves, but never turn again! Right? So members of the Companions Circle (Aela the Huntress, Farkas, Kodlak Whitemane, Skjor and Vilkas) can now turn into werewolves beginning with the quest Proving Honor, and when they become your followers.
[]ANOTHER WEREWOLF FOLLOWER. Uthgerd the Unbroken tells of being kicked out of the Companions. Wouldn't it be sick if she joined the Circle before getting the boot? Yeah, yeah! She can turn into a werewolf follower too!
[]NEW OR IMPROVED UNIQUE WEAPONS. The Wuuthrad battleaxe is now even better! Instead of doing 20% extra damage to elves only, it also deals 20% more damage to vampires. Plus, you can buy the new Skyforge bow, mace and warhammer from Eorland. You can temper silver weapons with quicksilver ingots.
