"The Best Vampires" is one of the biggest modifications on the topic of vampirism in. The main merit of the developers lies in the fact that they managed to maintain a balance and at the same time provide the highest comfort of playing for vampires. The mod is equipped with flexible settings, thanks to which the player will be able to choose the abilities and skills of a vampire for himself. A 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.
Mod Features
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 the 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. Hot keys can be assigned 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 out 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 climax of your strength when you are full, or vice versa, only when you are 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 consulted in the "active effects" category. If the player constantly eats as a vampire, then over time he will gain the ability to carry out more powerful attacks, his resistance will increase, 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 as a vampire can be set permanently.
The modification provides for the achievement of the highest vampire level - "Leader". The resulting Velvet Blood skill grants the player the ability to drink the blood of other vampires, thereby significantly increasing their skills.
No less interesting is the combat ability "Advantage in battle". It lies in the fact that during a combat collision 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 to use in the future. It has the ability to turn its victim into the likeness of a vampire. When playing as a vampire in this mod, the player is 100% resistant to poisons and diseases, much harder to detect (by 10%), as a vampire, the player can swim underwater without air for an infinite amount of time. In addition, the vampire, depending on the level reached, can carry 20-100 extra cargo units.
At the same time, along with an increase in the level, the height of the jump also increases. True, under the direct rays of the sun, this ability does not work. By the same principle, the reduction of damage when falling from high places develops, the ability to evade enemy attacks also increases with each rank.
A little about the abilities of a vampire. There is the ability to "embrace horror", to activate it, you need to quietly approach the intended victim and paralyze her with horror for a while. This is enough to drink blood from her. The Mortal Appearance skill will allow a vampire to turn into an ordinary inhabitant of Skyrim. And Drain Vampire 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 features with which you are even more immersed in the game.
When you wake up, you find that you have become infected and become a vampire? It doesn't matter, now you will not feel like an inferior, non-existent vampire that no one cares about. 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 unchanged by mods, 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 they may or may not be able to use (some vampires can be very picky). What will you be able to do with your new vampire colleagues? Of course plunder the city! When you enter the city, the guards will see your group (including the player) as a group of vampires who are 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 all your groups (player included) as a group of vampires attacking the city. This brings a whole new meaning to Skyrim's When Vampires Attack.

Installation:
- Download the plugin from the site.
- Unpack the mod using the Winrar program.

In this collection, I have collected the most, in my opinion, the most relevant vampire-themed fashions, as well as animations and quests, I will tell you about all this now. I took mods from different sites, some of them were partially finalized.
Present:
1 Retexture of the vampire armor, the royal armor of Harkon, Seran and the armor of Valerica. The armor is made in amazing quality and, in my opinion, is the best on the retexture of vampire armor. Armor renamed, now Black armor is black, red is red, white is white. All armor can be forged at the forge in the leather section. Now the simple vampire armor is missing the Volkihar clan brooch. It was decided to remove it with the goal, in my opinion, so that the cave vampires know their place, since without the mod they also had a clan brooch. The annoying pauldrons have been removed from the male royal armor, but the brooch remains - the symbol of the true vampire lord of the Volkihar clan.
2 Master Vampire Armor Set. Now in the room of Lord Harkon you can find a Solitude chest which will contain: Armor, gloves, boots, hood and sword.
Criteria Armor increased health by 50 units, destruction spells cost 60% less magicka. Gloves - increased magic by the same 50 units and damage from one-handed weapons increased by 60%, boots - increased stamina / stamina by 50 units, fire resistance 50% absorbs health, stamina and magic in the amount of 30 units, and on a critical hit the soul gem is filled, with Harkon's sword it's just instant death if the swords are used in pairs. And now, ATTENTION, the hood - dressed on the head of a vampire blocks the sun! Hurrah...
3 Fix for quests for vampires and guards of the dawn.
4Animation of death enemies serve instantly, and do not perform on the circle even after death, this also applies to dragons.
5 Normal faces of vampires. After turning into a vampire of the blood of Molag Bal, the face of the dragon acquires some changes, the face becomes ugly, with this mod the vampire's face will remain beautiful, as in life, only the vampire's eyes will remain.
6 Vampire fangs and eyes. The mod will help you become a real vampire with blood-brown bright eyes, as well as change the vampire jaw.
7 Wings of the Vampire Lord. They will become 1.5 times larger.
8Flight of the Vampire Lord. Now it will be possible to soar in the form of a vampire lord over Skyrim. All you need to do is press the fast run button and move the mouse in the desired direction. Flies only in a huge room, or in open space.
9 Seductive Serana, Magnificent Valerika and mighty 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 Valerik very much. Therefore, I take it with me with the help of the following modification.
10 Valerika Mother of shadow. Now it will be possible to take Valerika, Serana's mother, as a companion after completing the Family Court mission. The character in kpashke is voiced and translated into English, but very beautiful. VALERIKA IS AN INDEPENDENT CHARACTER, SO THAT YOU CAN TAKE IT TOGETHER WITH SERANA, or with another friend. Valerica can turn you into the Molag Bal Vampire as Harkon, alas deceased, and Serana if you've been indulging with Falion and cured of your vampirism. And also, after the exchange of things, Valerika has a volume of the spell Call Valerika of the school of witchcraft, he eats a drop of magic, and Valerika instantly flies in the form of bats to the place of the call, wherever you are.
11 Marriage to Seran. Pretty simple and clear. A full description of the mod can be found on the Internet. And I'll tell you briefly. Complete the main vampire quest, drive 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 the light of Auriel keep you. And the anger of the Ancestors on your enemies.
Requirements: Skyrim, Dawnguard respectively, game version 1.9.

4) For Better Vampires and Requiem compatibility, copy the Requiem - Better Vampires Patch.esp file from the 04 Requiem - Better Vampires Patch folder to the Data folder with the game installed.
5) To adjust the scope of Lord Vampire's drain attack, copy the VL No AoE Drain.esp file from the 03 VL No AoE Drain folder to the Data folder with the game installed. This will cause it to only suck blood from its intended victim, not the crowd.
6) Connect the mods in the download list.
7) Use , to distribute mods in the correct load order.
8) In the MCM menu, use the RESET VAMPIRISM option.
9) Set up the mod with MSM.
