Yes! I did exactly that, but CS was also pretty useful in finding out Xenius may have made their races the way I described above. Now I have the idea of how to make the race and now I need to find out how to make NPCs acknowledge that they are vampires without them being freaked out and not talk to me. I want to be able to do all the questing without everyone hating and wanting to kill me cause I'm a vampire :laugh: lol

Well. I think I figured out a way to do this. Kinda. I don't know if the NPCs will acknowledge the fact that my character is a vampire. But I might have thought of a way to make a pseudo vampire, by just making my own spells and adding them to give the attributes of a vampire. Not exactly what I wanted but seems to be my only solution. With all these vampire race mods out there, it's really hard to believe that I can't find any clear information on how they do it xD Or I'm just not very good at finding it :huh: I noticed that with Xenius Race Compilation that the daywalker race, is basically it's just a vanilla race, enhanced with different meshes/textures and with custom spells giving them powers of a vampire. Rather than them having the actual oblivion vampire scripting. So maybe, I'll do just that for my own, but of course change it up a bit, I don't want to make a clone and take from the mod, of course.

Okai, yes, I use OCO2. I couldn't figure out how to load CS with OBSE, but thank you, I'll try that! I really wanna get this working. So hopefully there's something I can do. I don't want it to be a disease, just something my character was born with, minus all the weird negatives Oblivion gives them lol :p

Ahhh, well thank you! I'll keep what you've said in mind and hopefully I can figure out a way to do what I want to do with my race. If not, guess I'll just stick with making a normal elf or something xD For now I'll definitely try the way Pellape has shown me and see how it goes. It's more for personal use, I don't plan on releasing it at all. So maybe I can contact certain vampire modders to use their race as a base for my own and just change some features. I'm not sure how that works, but I guess I can at least try. Also, I do have blockhead, but CS still has a head that tells me to install blockhead, so I'm not sure what I've done wrong. It works in game with a mod I needed it for. Just not CS apparently.

Thank you for the reply! Yeah, I'm more of a character creator, stuff like houses and objects don't interest me too much. I'm always more interested in modding characters and their characteristics like eyes, hair, etc. May try some other stuff eventually, but for now I want to stick to creating a new player character. (: So to be clear on what I'm wanting to do is, yes, basically just a new race that is a vampire. But I wanna do my own stuff to it, set different rules for it. Like for example, making it to where the sun doesn't bother them, npc still being able to talk to them, etc.. The way I think of Vampires is very different from how Oblivion does them. Also, my character I wanna base it off of was born as a Vampire, not bitten ;p So, I want to make it to where I can start the game as an already established Vampire character. And I've checked out other Vampire race mods, but the way they have them isn't what I'm wanting or envision my Vampires. I'm already following a CS Basic Race tutorial, but it doesn't teach how to make it a Vampire. It's just teaching the basics using a woodelf copy. It's going very well! I didn't even follow it totally exact, I used different hair meshes and eye meshes from what they used and it's worked just fine so far, so using CS is pretty easy for me. I just need to figure out how to give it the Vampire stuff, which is what I can't find information on :/ I'm trying to be clear as possible by what I mean, but if there's any confusion, I apologize!

Hi, so I've been scouring the internet for information on how to make my own vampire race and I can't really find anything specific. It's all too vague or not exactly what I'm looking for. Who knows? Maybe I'm just not searching correctly. Anyway, I though I'd save myself more headache and just post for help. Basically, I've never modded anything a day in my life. So I'm super new! Aaaand I'm one of those people who need everything taught to me super specific and step by step or my tiny brain can't comprehend. lol If anyone can link their best resources and fully detailed tutorials, that would be super appreciated! I'm looking specifically for enabling the custom race to already have vampirism and scripting help. Also, sources for good vampire meshes and textures would be great to. I'm not sure I'd be able to create my own yet. I have a character I created for a story of mine that I would like to implement into the game and the normal vampirism mechanics for Oblivion just aren't cutting it for me. (: Thanks to anyone who takes their time to help me(: I've been wanting to step into the world of modding forever and for some reason this has been the turning point! It's been a bit overwhelming D;
