Hate Is Screwy

My mod doesn't affect whether you are hated when you change into a Vampire Lord.
By default, Skyrim has you hated as a Vampire Lord - I don't change that at all.

My mod is now set to have no hate by default in normal Vampire form, but you can change it if you wish.  You can select to be only hated at stage 4, only at stage 1, never hated, or always hated.  You are hated when my script adds you to the VampirePCFaction - which is an enemy of all crime factions - and a flag is set on yourself for other NPCs to attack you.

Does my status page in my MCM say that you are using my scripts and does it say that you are in the hated VampirePCFaction?

It is possible that another mod has messed with your faction relations (mine doesn't) and those can be baked into a save. Have you been adding or removing yourself to factions manually?

Also, please check your load order - I use LOOT. Some mods, especially custom race mods, have vampire scripts in them. If you removed all other vampire mods after you installed mine it is possible that some of my scripts were removed - try reinstalling mine after they were removed.

I suggest following all of my steps at the top of my Troubleshooting page first.


I want to be hated, but I'm not

My mod will force hate on you by adding you to a faction that everyone hates and by setting the attack player flag to true. I've never had it fail for me if either reverse or normal progression.

Do you use the "Alternate Start - Live Another Life" mod? It messes things up if you start out as a vampire sometimes because it uses its own scripts. Start out mortal and use my menu to infect yourself.

It may also be possible that, if you have become Thane of a region, NPCs and/or guards may now be your allies.  Factions in Skyrim can be messy; if you are an ally to someone, then entering a hated faction will be nullified for them.  Being an ally always overrules being an enemy.


I am hated but don't want to be

Sometimes, it almost seems that game cells have to reset for you to have no hate ... because my scripts don't add you to the hated faction or have others attack you by default. Users of my mod have said that they experienced hate bugs even without my mod installed so it seems to be a game issue.

If you are hated when you aren't supposed to be, I would try this: make sure you have no hate set, open the console, type {coc qasmoke}, rest for 31 days to have all cells in game reset (it may be faster to type in the console {setpcsleephours 750}), then type {coc whiterun}. I don't know why the game would do this, but it seems plausible ...

You could also try to feed until fully fed, then starve yourself to stage 4 to see if that resets the hate issue.

Also, don't forget that if you want hate at stage 1 or stage 4 you have to enable it BEFORE you enter that stage. It won't make you hated all of a sudden.

- If you want hate at stage 1, enable it at stage 2, 3 or 4 and then feed to 1
- If you want hate at stage 4, enable it in stage 3, 2 or 1 and then starve to 4
- If you want hate all the time or never, enable it and then feed once
