📋 About This Mod

I always felt that vampirism is quite tame in context of Skyrim, as game system and what it shown to players. I plan to add much mature theme in context of vampirism and would love if you would like to join me in this journey. Leave feed back here.

HOW IT WORKS?

KM trigger for NPCs/Player if they are vampire (HasKeword == Vampire). KM animations will trigger in close combat, and the actor must have equipped single-handed weapons or/and magic.

Due bug in OpenAnimationReplacer with paired-animations - I had to replace KM permanently until bug is resolved.

By default chance of triggering vampire animation is 50% for front KM. To override KM chance open "Open Animation Replacer".

Front Struggle Bite KM - attacker: vampire, victim: humanoid, attacker weapon: 1H/bare hand, position: front

Back Bite KM - both actors humanoid

Back Jump Bite KM - both actors humanoid

Front Feed Animations - both actors humanoid

Front Feed Aggressive Animations -  both actors humanoid

Front Body Slam KM -  both actors humanoid

Front BloodRayne KM -  both actors humanoid

Front Decap KM -  both actors humanoid

Front Freed quicker -  both actors humanoid

If you are getting CTD, users have report to disable animation limit increase in OAR

COMPATIBILITY

This mod is compatible with any other mods as I don't touch the records of animations. This mod adds override via Open Animation Replacer.

In context of popular vampire mods, we would have discuss with mods authors what's best way to integrate animations.

Commonly asked questions:

Can I use without Violens?Yes you can, but disable slowmo camera, animation doesn't have camera track so it will look bad

Can I use kaputt?Not officially supported in context of this mod, if you know what are doing feel free to use it. Just to be clear I can't do anything about CTD in context Kapput or OAR.  Some user have noticed Kaputt may cause CTD.

Is compatible with Serana?Yes and with any vampire race, but my mod doesn't change anything about killmoves, so if your followers such as Serana can trigger killmoves this will work as expected. (You need OAR version at least 2. 3. 5)

Is it compatible with Better Vampires, Sacrosanct and Sacrilege  ?

Partially, this mod were never written that anything else can integrate in context of combat KM this won't properly. You can use for integration  Vampire Feed Decals, However, there bunch of edge cases
