CitesSkyliner, technically yes, I assume it's the UV rays from the sunlight that kills vampires, although the moonlight UVs are extremely less intense, But Lore-wise, No.

@darintsaeed: Since moonlight is reflected off of the sun would that mean that vampires would die in moonlight?

Ebin, yeah the conditions are a bit annoying trying to make them show, but yeah the requirements are essentially the recipients being sick or hurt, and the range requirement is quite broad, but nothing too crazy(so you can't heal a random person beyond neighboring regions). I'll probably add detailed instructions in the discord.

Any idea why I cannot see the reasons behind not being able to give vampire blood to heal someone? it is simply blank after "All of these!"

Horsemaen, yes it's fine, the mods code is pretty generic, so it doesn't conflict with any new features that come with 1.18.

Is it compatible with 1.18.01?

Thurra, I think with most of them, if not all. AGOT, LOTR, etc.

Is it compatible with full conversion mods, if so which ones?

Nero, I’ll see what I can do, should be pretty easy.

I really like this mod, and I think the way the traits are as of now are fine, no need for nerfs. But if I could ask for something, would it be possible to make a rule to deactivate the NPCs asking to be turned into vampires? I want to roleplay as a secret vampire, that just compels people to forget that he is not aging, but having people know I'm a vampire by asking me to turn them just breaks the idea.

THANK YOU, just spent like 40 min and omg its amazing, i made opposing leaders vampires during the crusades its chaos and i love it LOL

James, thanks and don't worry, I won't.

Breadman, I'm not sure, but it doesn't overhaul the game so it should be fine, but to be more cautious you shouldn't try it on important saves.

Dont nerf the power of the vamps, idk why people are moaning there are a few other vampire mods with weak vampires. This is based on the TVD universe where the vampires are powerful.

Is this ok to add mid game?

The, yes it is.

Is this like the vampire dairies?

Original Vampire?!???!

update?

GladioSanctus, vampires can’t procreate, they can only adopt, then you can turn them if you want, turning and procreation/adoption are separate things.

can you have children in a normal way or can you only turn in order to procreate?

Mutewaffles, I know and I agree with a limiter on compulsion and turning to mitigate spamming, but the stat buffs are intentional, since it’s based on TVD lore, and all other vampire mods have the relatively weaker vampires, so I wanted mine to be different for gameplay, I mean you don’t want the same stuff in all mods.

After playing it a bit, I have two suggestions: 1) Have some kind of limiter on the compulsion and turning, as it's too easy to spam. Maybe it costs piety or stress? 2) I'll probably nerf the default buffs a little bit, especially on martial and prowess as a >30 boost is kind of nuts without even getting Mastery exp. Honestly it's probably overkill even on the Original as most NPCs barely have more than 50 prowess most times.

Faust Von Sekendorff, the vampire traits are open to everyone, I'm working on adding them to the world naturally, as for hiding them, I will see what I can do about the secretive aspect of the trait, I want to do it in a way that makes sense and keeps it from being annoying(like some schmuck ai blackmailing you easily). please remember I'm a newbie at modding, and this is my first work, tbh I never expected it to go this far.

I don't fully understand at first glance the vampires, are they open to everyone or are they hidden? Because I can't find vampires on the global map, although I haven't played for a long time. And when I switched to another character, I saw on my character that he was a vampire. Can you hide these perks, properties in the future?

also thank you darintsaeed

yes you can

Itsbabyyjay, I don’t know why not, try it.

can you use this in AGOT?

So, now I have a reason to watch TVD. Anyways, agree with Rye (again).

Regardless your mod is very good and im sure you will make it even better, so good work. Theres always like a billion other workshop mods to add what im wanting anyways.

o Senhor Sandman, I didn’t want to divert to much from the TVD lore like the other mods, but I’m working on some new story and events that’ll change the dynamic of playthroughs, and hopefully be fun.

Rye, I know not having children is kinda annoying considering regular playthroughs is fun with the drama that comes with having to raise a bunch of ungrateful kids😁, but the whole point of vampires is immortality, the adoption option is based on the time when Niklaus adopted Marcel, so you can build your family that way, but I will add stuff to make it more dramatic and as fun to play.

Yes Fable, I will add werewolves, hybrids, and witches, but the problem is that unlike vampires, I need to make some storylines to make them as fun to play as vampires, which will take me some time.

I agree with Rye. Maybe two vampires can do a ritual (decision) to generate new life? Or do vampires breed with others vampires, or even a dhampir option. Other suggestion I have, is to leave the bad traits you choose on create a ruler, I play a lot as disfigured characters, and seeing them becoming normal is just sad, lol. Otherwise, the mod still plays fine in my modlist, without any bugs. For a first mod, you did a pretty good job.

Its a pretty good mod, everything works at least. Being completely infertile is a little annoying though. If there was a way to become a vampire later after having some children that might be nicer, since its impossible to grow your dynasty without adopting, and to me a vampire would be focused on pure-blood and stuff.

You adding the werewolves or hybrids, or actual witches?

Would love to help with lore/ideas/writing If you need any help

Thanks for the tip “Dedelblute3”, I’m working on it, but I didn’t want vampires to be immune to certain mental illnesses, I will have to reduce the chances though, but you have the right idea if implemented for diseases, I will have to overwrite the chances of getting them to zero.

The Secluded modifier has a -75% chance of infection, so (and I'm not experienced with modding this game so I'm likely wrong) maybe you can add a -100% chance of infection to however you've implemented vampires?

Thank you for this mod, good luck with your development.

waitl.... WAIT!!!! ermm!!! i feel a dance coming on...! op... op... wait.. heh.... OP. OP OP OP... opa ck3 style!

Thanks for all the feedback! This is my first mod and my first time coding anything, so I’m learning as I go. I know vampires shouldn’t get sick, but I couldn't figure out full immunity—so instead, diseases and injuries vanish shortly after appearing. Vampires don’t spawn naturally; you can make them in the ruler designer or use my “ask to turn” interaction, which helps if your vampire dies and you continue as a human heir. My original plan included witches casting a lore-friendly spell to create original vampires and start bloodlines, plus adding Mikaelson storylines for more depth. I’d love to expand, but right now I have the ideas without all the skills. Thanks for the questions and support—I’ll keep improving as I learn!

Hey, just saying that TVampireD just became my favorite vamp mod, only thing that I would change is that vampires still get sick, other than that, keep the good work!

Should make a trello or wiki, maybe a Discord server.
Its just information on the mod and its interworkings would be useful.

So how do you become a vampire exactly? Are there any characters with a vamp trait already or do you have to make a new ruler? I started in 11th century and played as a random count in England for a few years, no vampires yet.

Cool! I'll give it a go! Wish me luck!
