📋 About This Mod

When you are a vampire, during the day this mod makes you regain some regeneration faculties if you stay in the shadows.(Previously, this mod was called "Vampirism - Weather and Brightness-Aware")

(Link to the Classic Skyrim version)

- Description -

The mod makes it so that, when you are outdoors during the day, you can regenerate Health, Magicka and Stamina at a speed that depends on the light level that there is in the spot you are in. This means that if you run out of Magicka or Stamina or just need to regenerate your Health after a battle, you aren't forced to go inside a building or cave or wait for the night anymore, but you can simply find a shaded place to rest for a while (like under a boulder, a big tree, or a building).

The changes to the regeneration speed all happen silently and swiftly, making it feel like a deeply-incorporated game mechanic.

I've put 5 ranges of light levels that I decided to use after testing in-game some of the weather conditions:

  • [] 30% regeneration speed in the outside while it's raining or foggy

  • [] 50-65% in the shadows while it's sunny

  • [] 65% in storms and snowstorms

  • [] 80% in the shadows with rain or fog

  • 90% in the shadows with storms

    These thresholds are just to give an idea of how much regeneration you get with certain "levels of darkness". Of course you can regenerate even while it's sunny as long as you're in a shadow.

    The percentages may vary because the light levels that come with the various weather conditions are not sharply defined, and it also depends on the presence of other light sources. I decided not to touch the magicka, health and stamina damage because I felt the player would get a bit overpowered (also because I should have made a spell for each vampirism stage and make the script bigger, too).

    - Updates -

    Misc. update #4: Vivenmort kindly made a patch for the mod that makes it work properly with versions of Scion - a Vampire Overhaul prior to v2. 0. So if you use a version of Scion lower than 2. 0 you need to also install that patch. Thus, Scion v2. 0+ is natively compatible with my mod, now.

    Misc. update #3: Unfortunately I saw that the version I had made compatible with Sacrosanct might not be compatible anymore. I decided to remove it to avoid problems...

    Misc. update #2: I saw that Vortex said the .esp was made for the old Skyrim. It had to be re-saved in the Creation Kit to be updated, so I did just that. I don't think it caused any issue anyway, because I got no reports.

    Misc. update: I made a version compatible with Sacrosanct - Vampires of Skyrim by Enai Siaion. It's based on version 2. 03 of Sacrosanct and it must be loaded AFTER it. If in Sacrosanct you activate its own "regen in shadow
