(I thought vampire immunity turned off the need for sleep, too, but I may have been mistaken.)Īt the moment I'm using RND with hunger and thirst rates set to zero. I like how its needs build up faster when exerting yourself and you can rest during carriage rides, though, while RND just seems to use flat hourly rates. iNeed is wonderfully simple and might be what I'd use for other characters, but only has a "vampire immunity" toggle that switches off hunger and thirst entirely. I do like how overeating gives a small debuff, though, as well as the fact that you can get back to "well rested" (with the experience boost) by topping off with a short nap if your fatigue's low enough, instead of always needing the full eight hours. RND's hunger system doesn't interact with vampirism at all, but at least I can turn down hunger and thirst entirely so as to only use the sleep mechanics. IMCN can do either blood only or blood alongside everything else, but there's no option to just need blood and sleep. I've tried Imp's More Complex Needs, Realistic Needs and Diseases, and iNeed, and none of them quite do what I want: Aside from hunger, I'd also like to enforce a need for rest, especially if it was more beneficial during the day.
But you don't really suffer for refusing to, besides stage 4 vampirism. So there's reasons to feed, if you want those benefits. With BV I'm using reverse progression (so I get weaker with hunger) and blood points (so using my powers accelerates my hunger and it takes more than one feeding to get back to stage 1), and even without those you rank up as a vampire the more you feed. if you're happy with the buffs and debuffs you get at stage 4, there's not really any problem staying there. With BV I could turn back on being hated at stage 4, but that's not really the same thing that's just becoming obviously monstrous because of your hunger (as an aside, I thought it was awesome that vampires in the movie Daybreakers basically worked like Elder Scrolls vampires ).
It only falls short in one area: enforcing an actual necessity to feed. Skyrim with Dawnguard and Better Vampires is pretty much my idea "play as a vampire" game. I'm feeling tempted to learn how to mod Skyrim to I can create a patch for one of the needs mods to handle vampires better.
