📋 About This Mod
A lightweight vampire mod, focusing on enchance vampire gameplay in human form.
YET ANOTHER VAMPIRE OVERHAUL
What this mod do: The goal of YAVO is to enchance the way you play the vampire life, more "traditional" way. It will add features to the human form vampire (be a simple but powerful vampire is enough, no need the Molag Bal curse and the vampire lord form.)
What this mod NOT do: Enchancing the vampire lord gameplay. It's not his goal and other mods already do that very well: Sacrosanct or Better Vampires.
Life as a vampire: The vanilla gameplay of vampire in Skyrim is a complete non sense. Vampires are blood mage and blood addicted. YAVO bring a traditional vampire: a starving vampire is weaker and a fully fed vampire is stronger. You don't loose powers with your hunger, but your weaknesses amplify. In YAVO you feed to stay healthy and heal.
