Why is this making my sneak not work?

I just found out this Den IS part of the "Volkihar" Mod I have from Digital Cleaner...He has one in Solitude that has a Quest attached. Don't want to make anyone including me crazy!

Very very cool! I was in Solitude and I got a Quest to find the Den but it was kind of stealthy the way it read. I was not a Vampire yet so I went in... invisable just to peek...A bit spooky too! Thanks!

oh come on now ppl if i can find them them you all can or go back to the mod and read THE LOCATION OF EACH DEN WITHIN THE CITIES.

As I'm playing as a vampiric thief/assassin, I never had issues regarding feeding. When I was breaking into a house, I simply fed on the sleeping owner. Nonetheless, having a refuge in each major city just "feels" right and the entrances really fit into the environment (only the door to the Whiterun lair is a bit odd since it's a wooden one on one side and a big iron door on the side of the catacombs). Also, I like that the lairs aren't overdone with bling-bling stuff, a bunch of merchants and teachers etc.

There are just two minor "complaints" concerning atmosphere - since the hideouts are (according to the letters and journals found in the lairs) intended to provide shelter for all vampires, I would have expected more NPCs and therefore more beds and coffins. And I liked the hideouts which have a seperate sleeping room a bit more. As another guy noted in his comments, I'd understand the lairs a bit like a tavern for vampires.

Great mod indeed, 4/5 points

Does this work with Special Edition or are you going to port it?

Where are the thralls?!

This mod really feels like it belongs in Vanilla Skyrim or the Dawnguard DLC.
I haven't visited all of the Dens just yet, but the ones I have been inside and using don't feel out of place at all, the entrances are cleverly placed within the cities and the interior fits perfectly.
I've actually found myself forgetting a few times that it was in fact from a mod.

I personally find feeding a lot less of a pain, especially since the dens usually have some bottles of blood scattered about, the vendor is also a huge +

Only thing I would like to see canged about this mod is more vampires in the Solitude den, with possibly another bedroom or two in the upper floor.
To me it just feels like a vampiaric tavern of sorts? So it would be nice to see it filled out more.

Overall though, this is a wonderful mod that I would suggest to anyone who plays Skyrim as a vampire!

I want more vampire coffin in skyrim.This is it.Can you make another one in Dawnstar Brotherhood Sanctuary?
elliescuff Aug 13, 2014 @ 8:04am 
Its fantastic. I love how you make the homes suit the area. I also love them because they are based for vampies :) I only have one problem.... No vampire cattle show up! Since the mod was about having a retreat and able to have cattle places other than the castle, its a bit of a dissapointment. But, it doesn't matter though, as these little 'houses' are in populated places. And we all know that means food... Yum!

I've really enjoyed this mod The places he made are nice and have everything a vampire could want in a place to stay for the night. I found the merchants particulary helpfull so I never need to go out into the daylight.
mcnutsack Feb 10, 2014 @ 6:44pm 
How do you know u have dawnguard
Allyon Jan 19, 2014 @ 1:36pm 
Thank you for this. Been wasting soooo much time just trying to feed and get by. Whats a poor vamp to do?
V 3 D 4 Aug 5, 2013 @ 2:34pm 
No thralls to be found, but everything else seems to be in order. Thanks for giving me a spot to duck out until nightfall!
Romanos Jul 21, 2013 @ 12:38am 
I love it. Favorite, Rated up, Subscribed. I was a vampire for a long time on PS3. It sucks. (No pun intended) Without mods it is just about impossible to have an intersting time playing as a vampire.
oblivion4463 Jul 19, 2013 @ 2:34am 
Iam having a problem with the NPCs and the vampire cattle...there disappearing. It seems to be when I bring followers into the dens that the mods NPCs will start to disappear as well as the human cattle. How do I rest individual dens back to there starting point?
palliric Jun 6, 2013 @ 12:16pm 
man I can't thumbs up this enough. :D
Gillespie [29th ID] Apr 3, 2013 @ 6:18pm 
I have a mod where sunlight burns and blinds. It's funny seeing someone walking by on fire and no one cares.
Corsin Feb 18, 2013 @ 12:49pm 
Need to add some cattle in the prison areas. Theyre all empty to me. Merchant is there tho.
Morgana LeFay Feb 3, 2013 @ 11:31am 
i can not find the one in the hall of the dead markarth
matthew25 Jan 4, 2013 @ 11:37am 
Because in dawnguard if your not at Castle Volkair, then you pretty much need to find a sleeping person or have a blood potion, which can sometiems be tricky.
rbcameron Dec 9, 2012 @ 3:03pm 
Sonicunleashed, you could also try the 'resurrect' console command.
rbcameron Dec 9, 2012 @ 3:00pm 
Great mod, btw. This was also a point of frustration with me.
I Rated you up, for your like-mindedness.

You are a genius, but then I suppose I am too. ;)
rbcameron Dec 9, 2012 @ 2:58pm 
Does it require dawnguard? (Sorry couldn't resist)
Gonk  [author] Nov 20, 2012 @ 9:38am 
Load order shouldn't matter, it's not really changing a lot (I built it with an eye towards compatibility). You don't need to start a new game, either, it works just fine with existing saves.
Monsieur Lapin Nov 20, 2012 @ 8:02am 
Does it matter what 'load order' this mod is in? Also, will it work on previous save files, or do I have to start a new game for them to take effect?
ethan.young78 Oct 15, 2012 @ 9:27pm 
I absolutely could not agree with you more, Gonk. I too was a little underwhelmed at the lack of feeding options, and it was always a pain to go into the guard barracks or break into a house because there was always a chance of being caught (and being caught did me in on more than one occasion, let me tell you). This is a must-have mod for any vampire player, and I especially like how you tried to integrate the different lairs with the environment of different cities. The mod seems much more natural that way. Feeding will no longer be a hassle for me, and for a job well-done, I salute you.
Gonk  [author] Oct 6, 2012 @ 8:53pm 
Probably around 10 days. That's the standard cell reset period. The cattle NPCs might be different, though, I'm not sure. Also, mods may change how long it takes to respawn.
Twili-Dracul Oct 6, 2012 @ 8:34pm 
How long?
Gonk  [author] Oct 6, 2012 @ 8:32pm 
It should respawn, yes.
Twili-Dracul Oct 6, 2012 @ 7:37pm 
I drain my food does any of it respawn
Duke Oct 3, 2012 @ 9:04am 
Great, I can't wait to expand my Volkihar Empire.
Gonk  [author] Oct 2, 2012 @ 5:24pm 
Yeah, I don't really like a lot of the housing mods out there. Too crazy and complex.

Also, I'm actually working on adding in some NPCs to the dens. Not too many, but some.
Duke Oct 2, 2012 @ 3:20pm 
Except the lack of npcs, this mod was great! It was vampiric and not overdone like the most mods with fucking super bawl china crackers rocket launchers everywhere :)
jeff9137 Sep 30, 2012 @ 12:57am 
AWESOME, my problem is fixed . No more crap i need to feed but where?. !!RATED UP!!
Gonk  [author] Sep 29, 2012 @ 10:50pm 
@Ninety9lives

Currently there aren't any NPCs in there, aside from the cattle. I'm working on a version that will add one to three NPCs to most of the dens to give them some "life". You could, of course, kill them when you're playing as the Dawnguard.
AlephFlux Sep 29, 2012 @ 9:57pm 
(complete jk btw)
This mod don' work without dawnguard?
That dealt with, good mod. Have had more than a few situations where i needed a quick bite and had to kill off a farmer. (Or three, and I have a stack of blood pots. in my house now)
Ninety9lives Sep 29, 2012 @ 9:41pm 
If playing az Dawnguard can you hunt the denz? (without getting bounty, just kicking vampire ass)
Storm Sep 29, 2012 @ 9:37pm 
People who post links its dumb and will not work and will get you banned!
Gonk  [author] Sep 29, 2012 @ 2:38pm 
Yeah, the free steam game spammers are annoying. I've been deleting their comments as much as I can.
CcBalancEe Sep 29, 2012 @ 10:10am 
Pretty good for vampires:)
PRAISE THE SUN! Sep 29, 2012 @ 8:37am 
Wow free steam games NOT
Gonk  [author] Sep 28, 2012 @ 5:23pm 
Ah, then it will probably work, unless the door is in exactly the same spot as mine.
Glass Joe (1-99) Sep 28, 2012 @ 5:00pm 
its just the mysterious crypt no noticable changes outside other than the door
Glass Joe (1-99) Sep 28, 2012 @ 4:54pm 
no it does not change layout it just adds a door
Gonk  [author] Sep 28, 2012 @ 4:50pm 
Possibly, I'm not sure. If it changes the layout of that part of the city drastically, then it's entirely possible there will be a conflict.
Glass Joe (1-99) Sep 28, 2012 @ 4:42pm 
i have the new house mod for the house in windhelm graveyard so would this interfere
