Instantly becoming a vampire [Without sleeping]

[Amessagetoyou]

Hello, I'm playing a relatively modded version of Oblivion.

I was supposed to the "Boots of the Springheel Jak" quest for Gray Fox where I must kill a bunch of vampires. However, the second a vampire hits me and I contract Porphyric Hemophilia, I get the pop-up about the nightmare. There is no sleeping, waiting or anything else. None of the mods as far as I know, directly or indirectly deals with this, although I should mention that the first vampire that hit me just normally gave me the disease, it was the second one started making me a vampire instantly...

I'll really appreciate your input :)

I don't think that any of these mods is causing the problem. This is probably a glitch in the base game. I don't know of any way around it other than one of two things:

 

1. Carry a ton of cure disease potions and cure the Porphyric Hemophilia infection each time you catch it... a solution that is tedious and might not even work out tbh

 

2. Just roll with the infection and go ahead with the cure vampirism quest later (assuming you haven't completed that already or it isn't bugged as well).

I'm not sure about the cause of the problem, but the vanilla vampire script which transform you into a vampire can't run unless you sleep. You could carry the disease for more than 3 days (even for months), if you don't sleep.

If the transformation trigger when not sleeping, then either something (a mod or a bug) already set the PCVampire variable to 1, else a mod is altering (or interfering with) the vampire script.

 

Try to open the console with ~ (or \) and type Show PCVampire

If the result is -1 or 0, then it's fine. Instead, if the result is 1, 2, 3 or 4, then type Set PCVampire to 0 to fix it.

 

 

Side note: with Oblivion Reloaded, if you're using the Grass shader, you don't need the mod "Disappearing Grass Fix" (GrassFix.esp).

Well, I was being turned into a vampire after an instant being hit by a vampire and the pop-up was appearing immediately. There was no sleeping or anything.

I just stand around till one of the vampire's strikes transmits the dieases.

 

I just loaded a slightly older save game and it seems to be fixed. But it was still a mystery to me as to why it would happen.

 

Also thank you for the suggestion regarding "Disappearing Grass Fix" I disabled it :)
