“The Best Vampires” is one of the largest modifications on the theme of vampirism in . The main merit of the developers is that they managed to maintain balance and at the same time ensure the highest comfort in playing as vampires. The mod is equipped with flexible settings, thanks to which the player can choose the capabilities and skills of the vampire for himself. The variety of options will make you look at vampires in a new way and will attract the attention of those players who previously did not like to play as vampires.
Features of the mod
So, after installing this modification, the abilities of both the vampire and the lord will develop simultaneously with the player’s level. You can independently configure both the strengths of the vampire and his weak characteristics.
It should be noted that the creators of the mod considered maintaining game balance as a priority goal, while the player remains free and independent. So, for example, only he decides when and whom to attack and drink blood. You can assign hotkeys to all available spells and skills of the undead. By the way, new abilities and talents themselves have been added. Moreover, the creators of the mod also worked on the effects, graphics and sounds of such spells. It is possible to turn other characters into vampires, thus making them your companions. 
Life as a vampire
The life of a vampire is greatly influenced by the type of food and the number of unfortunate victims of the player. So, for example, you can reach the apogee of your strength by being sated or, on the contrary, only by being hungry.
For the convenience of the player, a counter is provided for a detailed description of the stage of vampirism. It can be seen and reviewed in the “active effects” category. If the player constantly feeds as a vampire, then over time he will gain the ability to carry out more powerful attacks, his resistance will increase, and other abilities will appear.
The attitude of other inhabitants can be adjusted independently. To do this, the player just needs to choose the state of the vampire - satiety or hunger, in which he will be recognized as a vampire. If desired, recognition by a vampire can be set permanently.
The modification provides for achieving the highest vampire level - “Leader”. The resulting “Velvet Blood” skill gives the player the opportunity to drink blood from other vampires, thereby significantly increasing their skills.
The combat ability “Advantage in Battle” is no less interesting. It lies in the fact that during a combat encounter with an enemy, if the player has a higher level of health, the player can bite the enemy at a certain distance. 
Miscellaneous
The mod allows you to store blood for a vampire for later use. It has the ability to transform its victim into the likeness of a vampire. Playing as a vampire in this mod, the player is 100% resistant to poisons and diseases, it is much more difficult to detect (by 10%), being a vampire the player can swim underwater without air for an infinite amount of time. In addition, a vampire, depending on the level reached, can carry an additional 20-100 units of cargo with him.
At the same time as the level increases, the jump height also increases. However, under direct sunlight, this ability does not work. The same principle applies to reducing damage when falling from high places; the ability to evade enemy attacks also increases with each rank.
A little about the vampire's abilities. There is an “Embrace of Terror” ability; to activate it, you need to quietly approach the intended victim and paralyze him with horror for a while. This is quite enough to drink blood from her. The “Mortal Appearance” skill will allow a vampire to transform into an ordinary citizen of Skyrim. And “Vampire Drain” takes away the victim’s health and increases it from the vampire himself.
Installing the mod
Requirements: Skyrim. If the player is going to customize the mod, Dawnguard, SkSE and SkyUI (MCM) are required.
This mod allows the player to feel like a full-fledged vampire, and not an “infected person,” if something like this happened to you. The author provides the player with additional options that help you immerse yourself in the game even more.
When you wake up, you discover that you have become infected and become a vampire? It doesn’t matter, now you won’t feel inferior, a non-existent vampire about whom no one cares. Now the fun begins in the game! With this mod you will get the same faction as the rest of the vampires in the game (modified or unmodified, including the Dawnguard). Now you are one of them and you can do everything they do. Also, you can ask other vampires to go hunting with you! While they are hunting, you can give them the best equipment that they may or may not be able to use (some vampires can be very picky). What can you do with your new colleagues - vampires? Of course, plunder the city! When you get into the city, the guards will see your group (including the player) as a group of vampires attacking the city.
But what will you do with your new found group of vampires? Bag city, of course! Walk into the city and the guards will see your entire group (player included) as a group of vampires attacking the city. This brings a whole new meaning to Skyrim's When Vampires Attack.
Screenshots:
Installation:
- Download the plugin from the site.
- Unpack the mod using the Winrar program.
- ESP file plugin and folder Textures, Meshes(which are in the archive) copy to the folder Skyrim/Data. If the “File Replacement Confirmation” dialog box appears, then click “Yes - for all”.
- Connect this esp in Skyrim Launcher.
In this collection I have collected the most, in my opinion, current vampire-themed mods, there are also animations and quests, I’ll tell you about all of this now. I took mods from different sites, some of them were partially modified.
Present:
1 Retexture of vampire armor, royal armor Harkon, Seran and Valerika's armor. The armor is made in amazing quality and, in my opinion, the best retexture of vampire armor. The armor has been renamed, now Black armor is black, red armor is red, white armor is white. All armor can be forged at the forge in the leather section. Now the vampire simple armor does not have the Volkihar clan brooch. A decision was made to remove it, in my opinion, so that the cave vampires knew their place, just as without the mod they also had a clan brooch. The annoying shoulder pads have been removed from the male royal armor, but the brooch remains - the symbol of the real vampire lord of the Volkihar clan.
2 Master Vampire Armor Set. Now in Lord Harkon's room you can find a Solitude chest containing: Armor, gloves, boots, hood and sword.
Armor criterion increases health by 50 units, destruction spells consume 60% less magic. Gloves - magic increased by the same amount of 50 units and damage from one-handed weapons increased by 60%, boots - endurance / strength increased by 50 units, fire resistance 50% EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED, FOR THE VAMPIRE IS VULNERABLE BY THE SAME UNITS, sword absorbs health, strength and magic in the amount of 30 units, and with a critical hit the soul stone is filled, with the Harkon sword there is simply instant death if the swords are used in pairs. And here, ATTENTION, the hood - placed on the head of a vampire blocks the influence of the sun! Hurray...
3 Fix for vampire and dawnguard quests.
4Enemies perform death animation instantly, and do not perform it in a circle after death, this also applies to dragons.
5 Normal vampire faces. After turning into a vampire of the blood of Molag Bal, the dovahkiin’s face acquires some changes; the face becomes ugly, with this mod the vampire’s face will remain beautiful, as in life, only the eyes will remain vampire.
6 Vampire fangs and eyes. The mod will help you become a real vampire with blood-brown bright eyes, and also change the vampire jaw.
7 Wings of the Vampire Lord. They will become 1.5 times larger.
8Flight of the Vampire Lord. Now you can soar as a vampire lord over Skyrim. All you need to do is press the fast run button and move the mouse in the desired direction. It flies only in a huge room, or in open space.
9 Seductive Serana, Magnificent Valerika and powerful Harkon. Retexture of the Serana family, NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE MOD OF SERANA AND HER FAMILY! In my opinion, the most successful and beautiful retexture of the Serana family, I personally especially like Valerika very much. That’s why I take it with me using the following modification.
10 Valerika Mother of Shadow. Now you can take Valerika, Serana’s mother, as your companion after completing the Family Court mission. The character in the game is voiced and translated into English, but very beautiful. VALERIKA IS AN INDEPENDENT CHARACTER, SO THAT SHE CAN BE TAKEN TOGETHER WITH SERANA, or with another friend. Valerika can turn you into the Vampire Molag Bal like Harkon, alas, the deceased and Serana, if you fooled around with Falion and were cured of vampirism. And also, after exchanging things, Valerika has a volume of the spell Summon Valerika from the school of witchcraft, he eats a drop of magic, and Valerika instantly flies in the form of a bat to the place of the call, no matter where you are.
11 Marriage to Serana. Quite simple and clear. A full description of the mod can be found on the Internet. I'll tell you briefly. Complete the main vampire quest, go to Riften, find out about weddings, buy Mara's amulet, talk to Valerika, she will give you another amulet, talk to Serana and, hmm, get married... Well, that's all, thank you all for reading and downloading. May Auriel's light protect you. And the wrath of the Ancestors against your enemies.
Requirements: Skyrim, Dawnguard respectively, game version 1.9.

1) Copy all the contents from the "00 Required (loose files)" folder to your Skyrim\Data directory.
2) Copy the Better Vampires.esp file from the "01 Dawnguard (.esp file)" folder to the Skyrim\Data directory.
3) For compatibility between Better Vampires and Royal Bloodline, copy the file BVandRB_Formlist.esp from folder 02 BVandRB_Formlist to the Data folder with the game installed.
4) For compatibility between Better Vampires and Requiem, copy the file Requiem - Better Vampires Patch.esp from the 04 Requiem - Better Vampires Patch folder to the Data folder with the game installed.
5) To adjust the area of effect of the Vampire Lord's draining attack, copy the file VL No AoE Drain.esp from the 03 VL No AoE Drain folder to the Data folder with the game installed. This will cause him to only suck blood from his intended victim and not from the crowd.
6) Connect mods in the download list.
7) Use , to distribute mods in the correct loading order.
8) In the MSM menu, use the RESET VAMPIRISM option.
9) Set up the mod using MSM.
10) In step 8 you were infected with Sanguinare Vampiris. Heal from it if you want to remain mortal, or wait 3 days to become a vampire.
