Vampirism bug/issue

[Jeroeen]

So I am currently playing through Dawnguard and I'm playing the Volkihar faction. While going through a cave I found myself unable to heal through potions or the healing spells. The blood potions did though. I've tried changing my race to a non-vampire and I could heal with spells then, so it must be an issue related with vampirism. I've tried putting off all my vampirism-related mods and this didn't fix the issue either. Nobody on google seemed to have the same issue. Turning to a Werewolf then back into a vampire didn't fix anything either. I've also got all the unofficial bugfixes.

Did they change the fact that 'undead' can heal through healing or is there something wrong?

Which vampire mods do you have, have you checked all your mods are compatible, is your load order sorted with LOOT, have you uninstalled any mods mid-game and carried on?

My vampire (I'm using Better Vampires but afaik it doesn't change this, or at least, not by default/any of the settings I've found - and I actually don't want her to be able to heal with the basic healing spell, although potions I don't mind, so I have looked) can definitely heal herself with normal healing spells.

(Unfortunately both the two main vamp mods, Belua Sanguithingummy and Better Vampires are somewhat abandoned, I think, and somewhat prone to bugs, from what I've heard, although personally I've had no issues with BV).

I was mostly using Better Dawnguard Vampires [Discontinued], but I was also switching between some, being Better Vampires and Enhanced Reverse Vampire, but none of them state that healing spells and potions are disabled. I didn't check if mods were compatible, but I thought this wasn't an issue because I was disabling one and enabling the other.

I sorted the load order with LOOT, but I still couldnt heal myself with healing.

Edit: I just realised Enhanced Reverse Vampire disables healing potions and healing spells, but that mod is long since disabled.

Okay, so you carried on with saves that depended on previously-installed mods, yes? That's very, very much not recommended/safe, particularly any mods with scripting. Can leave all kinds of issues in your save games, so it's probably that.

Alright, thanks for the advice.
