Version 5.15
- This update fixes the most commonly reported bugs and balance issues.
Vampire
- Renamed ranks to Fledgeling > Blooded > Mistwalker > Nightstalker > Nightlord > Nightmaster for lore friendliness.Vampire Abilities
- Renamed Tainted Blood <- Whore of Morrowind. (Did people complain about this? Yes, of course they complained.)
- Dolmen Haunt: Removed Magicka and Stamina bonus near a standing stone. (This feature resulted in several ITMs and also edited each standing stone reference to add a persistent flag.)
- Fortitude: Is now correctly removed from your character when you become cured; added priority feature so if you are using the latest versions of Summermyst and Andromeda, the lowest cost rez effect is activated first.
- Masquerade: Fixed bug causing people to aggro after you shift from Vampire Lord back to blood starved vampire.
- Misfortune: Increased cooldown after a target trips from 10 -> 30 seconds.
- Moonlit Waters: Is now briefly removed from your character when hunger stage changes as a workaround for the condition bug.
- Trespassing Curse: Is now briefly removed from your character when hunger stage changes as a workaround for the condition bug; the magic effect is now hidden when you are not trespassing.
- Vicissitude: Reduced Hemomancy bonus from 50% -> 25%.
- Wassail: Is now correctly removed from your character when you become cured; updated description.Hemomancy
- Several spells no longer erroneously use a very bright casting light.
- Blood Ankh: Explosion no longer hits the caster.
- Blood Garden: Explosion no longer hits the caster.
- Blood Scourge: Area effect spread no longer hits the caster.
- Borrowed Time: Damage over time component is now affected by magic resistance; dual casting is no longer erroneously disabled.Vampire Lord Perks
- Starving Artist: Now correctly applies to Borrowed Time.
- White Wolf: No longer affects the Summon to Molag's Court power. (This eliminates the degenerate strategy of drain killing one enemy after another without actually fighting them and farming a very large number of Kiss of Death stacks.)Misc
- Two unused perks (Defy the Sun, Rule Through Fear) now have valid quest stages, preventing a useless warning when checking the mod for errors.
- Removed ITMs.Note: Other mods that modify the VampireQuestScript (including many Sacrosanct compatibility patches) will need an update to include the condition bug workarounds. If they are not updated, the above workaround will not work.
- This update fixes the most commonly reported bugs and balance issues.
-
Version 5.10
- Vampire Ranks
- Is now officially called "ranks" instead of "age" (some rocket brain decided age as a mechanic didn't make sense and therefore I was "retarded" even though it is literally in Vampire: The Masquerade. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯).
- Mytherceria: implemented workaround for Skyrim script bug that would cause it to randomly disappear on feeding.
- Sense Vitae: no longer erroneously works on corpses.
- Summon to Molag's Court: now also counts as a Calm effect.
- Vicissitude: reward description is now correct.Vampire Abilities
- Wassail: now correctly ends when leaving combat while Sated; removed HelpMessage.Vampire Spells
- Vampiric Drain: damage is now correct at thirst stage 2.Hemomancy
- Blood Scourge: to fix a rare crash, the explosion no longer reapplies the damage to targets that are already affected; removed annoying visual effect.Blue Blood
- Masquerade: now immediately removes aggro, not just the next time you become Blood Starved.Vampire Racials
- Lavish Brutality: no longer uses an invalid magic effect. (Not retroactive.)Vampire Mechanics
- Renamed the Sanguinare Vampiris ability that keeps track of thirst -> Vampire.
- Fixed Vampire not being removed when cured.Vampire Lord
- Now always heals 100 points when reverting to mortal form so you (hopefully) don't instantly die.
- Conjure Gargoyle: no longer affected by spell absorb on self; NPC version now summons the correct gargoyle.Vampire Lord Perks
- Embrace the Beast: fixed description to reflect that it buffs Flaywind.
- Foster Childe: no longer forces a race change, but just changes the target's eyes; visual effects are no longer lost when the target actor's 3D is reloaded.Misc
- Preparations for Hunter Hunted to be added in 6.00.
- Vampire Ranks
-
Version 5.06
- The past days have been a flurry of iterations, but I'm fairly happy with this one. It's 5.04 but with starved powers again.
Vampire Powers
- Added Blood Revel.
- Added Obfuscate.
- Added Flaywind.Crafting
- Added Elixir of Thirst (Vampire Dust + Void Salts)Age
- Added King Among Kine.
- Removed Lamae's Shroud.
- Eyes of the Predator: now drains a flat 10 hp/sec regardless of difficulty level.
- The past days have been a flurry of iterations, but I'm fairly happy with this one. It's 5.04 but with starved powers again.
-
Version 5.04
- The process of banging 5.x into shape continues. It turns out that having access to thirst on command means unlimited combat drains from stage 3 onward, which was a problem. (Of course I was aware of this when I implemented them, but the apparent unpopularity of combos in Apocalypse led me to believe it would not be a significant issue. I was wrong.)
Also, there were too many 1/day powers with dubious usefulness cluttering up the powers list, and the fact that they could be reset by feeding and cauldroning yourself back down was the final nail in their coffin.
These changes take effect the next time you feed.
Vampire Abilities
- Swapped Fortitude and Presence: Presence is now available from stage 1-3 and Fortitude is now available on stage 1 only.Vampire Powers
- Swapped Blood Cauldron and Vampire's Command: Vampire's Command is now available from stage 1-3 and Blood Cauldron is now available on stage 1 only.
- Vampire's Seduction is now available at all hunger stages.
- Removed Flaywind.
- Moved Obfuscate to Age rewards as Lamae's Shroud.Age
- Added Lamae's Shroud.
- Removed King Among Kine.
- Summon to Molag's Court: Feeding now resets the cooldown.Vampire Lord Perks
- Embrace the Beast: no longer says it affects Flaywind.
- Foster Childe: fixed script error that prevented it from turning the target into a VampireRace.This is the Final Death of the somewhat misunderstood charming-vampire-to-feral-vampire progression (due to the large number of people who interpreted this as "you get stronger as you starve" and requested reverse progression) but a starving vampire build is still viable with abilities such as Dance with the Beast and the Embrace the Beast perk. I intend to continue to support the feral playstyle going forward.
Flaywind will be reimplemented as part of the Hunter Hunted update as a powerful Hemomancy spell for starved vampires.

Version 5.03
- Another minor update following the very large update 5.00. If you are updating from 4.03 or earlier and don't know what's in 5.00 or how to update, please consult the changelog on the Nexus (under "logs").
One issue that may lead to the frequent complaints about "no reverse progression" is that Obfuscate is 1/day and changes into Nightwalk which is at will. At will powers are much more popular than 1/day ones, so this can feel like you're going from not having a power to having a power. I swapped them.
Vampire Powers
- Swapped Nightwalk <-> Obfuscate.
- Nightwalk: increased duration from 15 -> 20 seconds; now shuts down regeneration while active.
- Flaywind: increased Health absorb per second from 15 -> 20.
- Another minor update following the very large update 5.00. If you are updating from 4.03 or earlier and don't know what's in 5.00 or how to update, please consult the changelog on the Nexus (under "logs").

Version 5.02
- Updating Sacrosanct is hard because of the large number of scripts that are not automatically included by the archiver tool. 5.00 had a missing script, and 5.01 could not be downloaded from the Nexus for a long while. So here's 5.02 with a fix for the missing script issue (and a minor tweak).
Vampire Powers
- Flaywind: increased Health absorb per second from 10 -> 15.Misc
- Fixed missing script.

Version 5.01
- Unfortunately, the release of 5.00 and Aged Like Wine was overshadowed by yet another number of complaints about "no reverse progression". Since these complaints seem to focus on the fact that starving swaps out powers with new powers that are not obviously worse (in addition to all the penalties you get, which usually gets disregarded in these discussions) I updated them to make sure that your power set when fed is clearly superior.
Vampire Powers
- Flaywind: reduced duration from 30 -> 15 seconds.
- Nightwalk: reduced duration from 30 -> 15 seconds.
- Obfuscate: increased duration from 20 -> 60 seconds.
= Vampire's Command: increased duration from 30 -> 60 seconds.

-
Version 5.00
- The Aged Like Wine update: a major upgrade that adds aging, overhauls the powers and abilities, and adds more consequences.
While every effort was made and functionality implemented to make upgrading painless, issues might occur upon upgrading. Keep a backup.
This update prioritises getting the new core mechanics into the hands of players as fast as possible. Some planned features that do not tie into those mechanics (notably "The hunter hunted") are not yet implemented and will be added in a future update, though the assets are already in place. Many unused records are scattered around; these will also be cleaned up later.
As usual, Bethesda.net will be updated in a few days. (Bethesda.net offers no rollback option, updates may result in downtime as the mod slowly propagates to the file servers, and console players are not interested in being guinea pigs. Therefore it is not a good idea to involve Bethesda.net in major updates until they are confirmed stable.)
Feeding
- For consistency's sake, hunger is now called "thirst" (to avoid overlap with Survival Mode) and the thirst stages have names: Sated, Thirsty, Parched, Blood Starved.Age
A new mechanic and a twist on the age/rank mechanic in other vampire overhauls. Being a vampire for a prolonged period of time advances your vampire rank and grants bonuses. This effect is not directly tied to "Days as a Vampire" and is modified by various acts such as feeding and draining.You gain age for the following acts:
- Each hour awake: +1 hour (being a vampire, you do not age while asleep)
- Feeding: +1 hour
- Draining: +24 hoursUpon reaching the following thresholds, you become older:
- Fledgeling: start
- Neonate: 5 days
- Blooded: 15 days
- Ancilla: 30 days
- Nightmaster: 70 days
- Elder: 150 days
- ...Gaining a rank unlocks a choice of 13 abilities and powers:
- Blood Bond
- Blood Knight
- Cauldron of Fire
- Dance with the Beast
- Eyes of the Predator (power)
- Harvest Moon
- King Among Kine
- Night of the Wolf
- Oberon's Grail
- Path of Humanity
- Summon to Molag's Court (power)
- Vicissitude
- Wicked Wind (power)Abilities
Feed to apply these changes.- Added Fortitude at stages 1-2-3.
- Added Wassail at stages 2-3-4.- Resist Toxins has been removed and replaced with vanilla Resist Poison and Resist Disease, ensuring compatibility with CACO.
- You now keep Sanguinare Vampiris as a vampire. It tells you which thirst stage you are in, as well as your rank progression.
- Moonlit Waters: Now reset each time you feed. This serves as a workaround for the ability condition bug in Skyrim.- Kiss of Death: updated description.
Powers
- Added Blood Cauldron.
- Removed Mytherceria.Blue Blood
- Moved the following Blue Blood reward abilities to the Age system. If you have them unlocked, they will be converted into their Blue Blood replacements and you can unlock them again as part of the Age system. (Unfortunately, the new Mytherceria may not be retroactive. Please use "help mytherceria" and "player.removespell xx0FFAC6" with the ID you get back, then close the console for a second and then "player.addspell xx0FFAC6" to reset it.)
--- Blood Knight
--- Night of the Wolf
--- Vicissitude- Added Sense Vitae.
- Added Masquerade.
- Added Mytherceria. (This is different from the removed power with the same name.)- Renamed Wassail -> Potence.
- Eyes of the Moon: Increased magnitude bonus to Vampire's Seduction from 30 -> 50 levels.
- Arch-Curate Vyrthur is now a valid Blue Blood target. (This is not retroactive.)
- Updated Blue Blood feed message.
- Now correctly classified as a vampire quest.Racial Abilities
- Renamed Tainted Bloodline -> Whore of Morrowind.Hemomancy
- Added three new Hemomancy spells. If you already have Hemomancy spells, they will be replaced with the spells that now sit in the same spot in the progression list.
--- Added Blood Garden.
--- Added Blood Scourge.
--- Added Borrowed Time.
- A HelpMessage now explains hemomancy when you Drain a victim for the first time.Racial Abilities
- Bitter Sap: now also comes with -100% poison resistance to make it actually useful.Vampire Lord Abilities
- The Fortify Health effect is now added before Weakness to Sunlight and removed after it, reducing the likelihood of an unexpected death at low Health.Vampire Lord Perks
- Reworked Blood Bond -> Foster Childe: In addition to making the target a potentially follower and marriage partner, now also turns the target into a vampire and removes faction based hostility. (The original Blood Bond is now an Age reward in case you don't like vampires.)
- Dragon at Midnight: updated description.
- Embrace the Beast: updated description.
- White Wolf: updated description.Mechanics
- If the target is essential, the Drain option is no longer hidden but instead fails and explains why. There is also a HelpMessage for those who don't read notifications.
- Hunger check now occurs every 6 -> 3 hours, but there's now some randomness involved in dropping down to the next hunger stage.
- A HelpMessage is displayed the first time you become hungry.Misc
- Updated vampire feed notification.
- Updated invalid script notification.There is a large number of users who put Better Vampires and the patch on top of Sacrosanct, either don't know or don't care that this removes most Sacrosanct features and breaks the rest, and complained about the "error in Sacrosanct". The new error message should make it more obvious that it is someone else's problem.
MCM
- Added option: Age Speed.
- Added option: Fortitude: Disable.
- Added option: Kiss of Death: Applies to Potions of Blood.
- Added option: Wassail: Attribute Loss
- Added option: Wassail: Disable HUD/Inventory
- Added option: Wassail: Cause Aggro
- Added option: Trespassing Curse: Disable
- Updated several descriptions. (Not retroactive.)
Type "setstage ski_configmanagerinstance 1" to reset your MCM.
- The Aged Like Wine update: a major upgrade that adds aging, overhauls the powers and abilities, and adds more consequences.
-
Version 4.03
- Quests
- Blue Blood: the quest now gives each of its targets a debuff that makes Vampire's Seduction work on them regardless of level.---
Note: the expanded MCM (and configuration power) will come in the next major update. As of now, there aren't enough entry points to make it worth it. Most people seem to want a configuration power to opt out of penalties, and I'm not actually sure offering people an easy way to do so before they even start playing is beneficial, for the same reason a power that asks you "do you want to receive 500000 gold" would be a bad idea. Vampirism is supposed to be a curse until you master it, and having to keep yourself fed OR ELSE is part of that curse, as opposed to prancing around like Edward Cullen with all the sparkles and none of the ugly stuff.
Until I figure this out, type set SCS_Mechanics_Global_DisableSunDamage to 1 or set SCS_Mechanics_Global_DisableHate to 1 (the latter only kicks in after you feed).
- Quests
-
Version 4.02
- Potions
- Elixir of Embracing no longer works if you are disease immune (read: a werewolf).Misc
- The invalid script error message now gives the correct names of the scripts.
- Potions
-
Version 4.01
- Vampires
- Fixed issue that could prevent Draining in some scenarios.
- Vampires
-
Version 4.00
- The second half of the major update.
Ideally, use player.setrace [Racename]Race before upgrading, then player.setrace [Racename]RaceVampire after upgrading. If you are not yet a vampire, don't worry.
Also, make sure you are not at hunger stage 4 (don't have Mockery of Life).
Vampires
- No longer erroneously able to feed on ghosts.
- Frost spells and effects are now 20% stronger, while fire spells and effects are 20% weaker.
- The Beast: updated description.
- Mockery of Life: now also prevents Health regeneration, ensuring life steal is the ONLY way to heal at hunger stage 4 (aside from feeding).A bonus to jump height has been requested a few times, but requires SKSE. With most SSE users being on consoles, this is not an option. Vampire Lord is immune to fall damage and can glide with Wings of the Strix.
I tested a "stage 5" that would slowly deal damage, but dropped it because players could get stuck in an unwinnable state (Seduction on cooldown and none of the alternate feeding perks unlocked) or at least be forced to abandon ship and run to civilisation. In the end, if you want to play a blood starved "ghoul" build with Embrace the Beast and lifesteal, you should be able to, and not be punished for it.
Spells
- The basic spells (Vampiric Drain, Vampire's Will) are no longer removed from your favourites when your hunger stage changes.Perks
- Embrace the Beast: now also includes 25% bonus attack damage; parity update to match the basic vampire spell update.Blue Blood
- Blood Knight: now allows combat feeding regardless of equippd weapons.
- Daywalker: fixed minor issue.
- Tooth and Claw: updated description.
- Vicissitude: updated description.
- Wassail: changed attack damage bonus from 10-40% based on starvation -> 15% (or 30% at stage 1).Scripts
- Transforming into a Vampire Lord or progressing to another hunger stage now heals 100 points, preventing instant death due to sun damage in some scenarios.
- Hunger now checks every 6 hours instead of every 12 hours, improving accuracy.
- The error message when calling VampireChange() with an unknown race now states that it is an error message.MCM
You may want to open the MCM, close it and wait for a bit to give SkyUI a chance to update it.
- Added "Disable Elemental Affinity".
- Added "Time Between Hunger Stages".
- Added "Disable Blood-Starved Aggro".
- Added "Disable The Hunter Hunted".
- Added "Reverse Vampiric Drain Progression".
- Added "Disable Weakness to Sunlight".
- Removed redundant "Janky Feed".
Note: While Better Vampires offers more customisation options, Sacrosanct vampires are meant to have a lower power level until Vampire Lord. Vampirism is not the X-gene, it is supposed to be a curse, and I believe mechanics are a better way to communicate this than just giving the player a large number of spells.
- The second half of the major update.
-
Version 3.02
- Blue blood
- Night of the Wolf: now also enables sneak feeding.
- Blue blood
-
Version 3.01

Life as a Vampire
The curse of Molag Bal
Vampirism is not a blessing. Ancient vampires may be powerful and feared among the populace, but they start their unlife in a weakened state and must overcome hardships to attain the power they seek.
Molag Bal's presence gnawing at the sanity of every vampire is known as "the Beast", a primal force that possesses weakened vampires and drives them to ruin. It is important to stay well fed and healthy to avoid its temptations, lest you find yourself unable to heal or getting attacked by a mob of townsfolk.
Vampiric thirst and feeding
As a vampire, you must feed. Each day that goes by without feeding makes you thirstier and weaker. There are four stages of thirst and you progress to the next stage after at least 24 hours without feeding, though occasionally you may be able to delay the onset of thirst by a few hours. The
Vampire ability in your magic effects menu tells you how thirsty you are.
- Sated
- Thirsty
- Parched
- Blood Starved (At this point, your vampirism is so obvious that onlookers will attack you on sight.)
Feeding immediately returns you to Sated status no matter how thirsty you were before. To feed, activate a sleeping person or a person affected by the Vampire's Seduction power and choose "Feed". You may also choose to "Drain" a sleeping person, killing them instantly as you feed. Perks and abilities offer additional ways to feed, including sneak feeding, combat feeding, etc.
Abilities
Vampires receive the following beneficial and detrimental abilities:
- Dominate: Illusion spells cast by a vampire are 25 % more powerful and last 25 % longer on creatures and people.
- Moonlit Waters: A vampire can swim underwater without drowning, and walk across the surface.
- Resist Disease: Your Vampiric blood gives you 100 % resistance to disease.
- Resist Frost: Your Vampiric blood gives you 50 (Sated) to 20 (Blood Starved) % resistance to Frost.
- Resist Poison: Your Vampiric blood gives you 100 % resistance to poison.
- Still Heart: A vampire is 25 % harder to detect by creatures and people while sneaking.
- Trespassing Curse: When trespassing in someone else's home, lose 10 points of Magicka and Stamina per second.
- Weakness to Fire: Your Vampiric blood gives you 20 (Sated) to 50 (Blood Starved) % weakness to Fire.
- Weakness to Sunlight: Health, Magicka, and Stamina do not recover while in Sunlight and are reduced by 25 (Sated) to 100 (Blood Starved) points.
Vampires also receive the following abilities depending on thirst. As you become thirstier, you lose beneficial abilities and gain detrimental abilities instead, representing Molag Bal's growing influence over you.
- Fortitude: Vampiric blood makes you hard to kill. Upon taking fatal damage, you come back to life, becoming thirstier. ...when Thirsty, turns into...
- Wassail: The Beast awakens below 25 % Health in combat, draining Health, Magicka and Stamina during combat and reducing them by 10 points until you feed.
- Kiss of Death: Draining a victim (killing them by feeding) permanently increases Health, Magicka and Stamina by 1 . ...when Parched, turns into...
- The Beast: Unable to Feed and can only Drain mortal victims, which kills them. (Immortal targets can't be drained.)

Vampire ranks
A fledgling vampire is a pathetic sight, while an elder nightmaster vampire is feared and respected. Progress to the next rank is based on time spent as a vampire, but you can also feed on a victim to age by one hour or drain a victim to age by one day. The

The hunter hunted
Vampire hunters and their enigmatic leader are not yet implemented, but will be added in an upcoming update.
Life as a Vampire Lord
Vampire Lord gameplay has been significantly upgraded in both melee and magic form. To promote interactivity, Vampire Lords do not regenerate Magicka in magic form or Stamina in melee form, encouraging them to switch often, and new perks increase the power level and variety of both forms. In general, the Vampire Lord excels at dealing with large numbers of enemies, starting out with an area effect spell and having access to several perks to further improve their ability to dispatch crowds, including spells to pull them together and stun them while dealing cleave damage.
Additionally, Vampire Lords can now loot bodies, use objects and gain Destruction experience. However, everyone who is not a Volkihar vampire will attack you as an enemy.
Abilities
Vampire Lords receive the following abilities:
- Royal Bloodline: Vampire Lords gain 25 (level 5) to 250 (level 50) points of Health, Magicka and Stamina, 0 (level 5) to 45 (level 50) points of attack damage and 75 (level 5) to 300 (level 50) points of armor.
- Fall From Grace: Vampire Lords are immune to fall damage.
- Stagger Attack: Attacks in melee form stagger most targets.
- Weakness to Sunlight: Health, Magicka, and Stamina do not recover while in Sunlight and are reduced by 100 points.
Spells and powers
Vampire Lords receive the following spells and powers.
- Raze: Spell - Cast a wave of blood that cuts through targets in a line, absorbing 15 (level 5) to 25 (level 50) Health and dealing 50 (level 5) to 150 (level 50) additional magic damage.
- Lord's Servant: Spell - Reanimate a level 25 (level 5) to 50 (level 50) corpse for 60 seconds.
- Bats: At will - Dash in your direction of movement. ( 2 charges)
Perks
The Vampire Lord perk tree is expanded from 11 to 31 perks, but new ways of gaining Vampire Lord perk points exist. Many perks affect your mortal form as well, allowing you to scale even when not in Vampire Lord form. Perks are easier to attain: each perk point you gain only increases the required number of kills to the next perk point by 1 instead of 2. (This is not retroactive if you are already a Vampire Lord upon installing Sacrosanct. Sorry.)
- Power is Power: All attributes (Health, Magicka, Stamina) are increased by 50 points as Vampire Lord. Choose an attribute to further increase by 100 points.

Recommended mods
Sacrosanct is part of a cycle of vanilla-plus gameplay overhauls that combine to form "Full size Enairim", designed to greatly expand character building depth and variety:
- Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim
- Odin - Skyrim Magic Overhaul
- Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim
- Imperious - Races of Skyrim
- Andromeda - Unique Standing Stones of Skyrim
- Wildcat - Combat of Skyrim
- Summermyst - Enchantments of Skyrim
- Thunderchild - Epic Shouts and Immersion
- Growl - Werebeasts of Skyrim
- Sacrosanct - Vampires of Skyrim
- Wintersun - Faiths of Skyrim
- Triumvirate - Mage Archetypes
My "full size" overhauls can be used interchangeably with my "V++" overhauls, which are more vanilla-plus and stay closer to vanilla Skyrim balancing, at the cost of some of the more crazy features. See my profile page for a full list.
Compatibility
See here for a list of (in)compatible mods.
Installation
Installation procedure: Add the mod to your load order and activate it. Note that existing abilities that are active on your character cannot be modified, which may result in some abilities being incorrect or "stuck on your character". Ideally, you want to install the mod before you contract vampirism to avoid this issue, but this is not strictly necessary and the mod will be functional even if you don't.
If you encounter this issue, open the console and type player.setrace [Your]Race (for instance HighElfRace). Then leave the console for a few seconds and type player.setrace [Your]RaceVampire. This will fix most issues.
Uninstallation procedure: Just remove the mod, ideally when you are not a vampire.
To upgrade from versions before 5.00 to 5.00 or later: Ideally, you should not be a vampire. If you must, make sure you are Sated, then feed after upgrading.
FAQ
- I receive an error message stating that some scripts have been modified by another mod: You have either a mod loaded below Sacrosanct that modifies PlayerVampireQuestScript and/or DLC1PlayerVampireChangeScript; a local copy of those scripts in your data\scripts folder (possibly left behind by a mod); or an outdated compatibility patch. Better Vampires: If you are using Better Vampires and its Sacrosanct compatibility patch, this message is expected because Better Vampires removes most mortal form features from Sacrosanct and replaces them with its own, so the error is correctly telling you that Sacrosanct content has been replaced. It can be ignored, unless you want those features, of course.
- Unable to Feed on specific named actors: When Parched or Blood Starved, you have the detrimental ability The Beast, which replaces the Feed option with the (lethal) Drain option, forcing you to kill the victim of your feeding. However, you can't Drain essential actors (= unkillable for quest purposes). Find some nobody who won't be missed and Drain them instead. (Version 3.00 and later allow you to feed on moth priest Dexion in particular regardless of your thirst stage. Version 5.00 and later allow you to Drain regardless and give a descriptive failure message to reduce confusion.)
- I don't have the Blue Blood quest or various other mortal form features: If you are using Better Vampires and its Sacrosanct compatibility patch, it replaces Sacrosanct's mortal form progression with its own and just gives you all the spells and powers at once, resulting in the loss of many abilities, the Blue Blood questline, and breaking several perks.
- I just died for no reason! Weakness to Sunlight reduces Health by up to 100 points when Blood Starved, killing you if you never put any points into Health. Alternatively, Wassail applies a stacking 10 point penalty to all attributes, potentially reducing Health to zero. Alternatively, due to a quirk with the Vampire Lord, its Weakness to Sunlight will activate before the Health bonus from Royal Bloodline upon transforming, killing players with 100 or less Health.
- When I gain The Beast, the Drain option is missing: You can't Drain essential actors (= unkillable for quest purposes). In versions before 5.00, the Drain option was removed for those actors, causing some confusion. 5.00 allows you to Drain regardless but displays a message indicating that the target is invalid. Alternatively, if you are using version 4.00, there was a bug in this version that has been fixed in 4.01 and later. Alternatively, you can't Drain actors that are essential (= unkillable for quest purposes) and the option to Drain is absent in versions before 5.00. Alternatively, if you are using Better Vampires and its Sacrosanct compatibility patch, it replaces Sacrosanct feeding with Better Vampires feeding, which does not have a Drain option.
- Perk descriptions are truncated on 4:3 aspect ratio monitors: This is a limitation of Skyrim. Use the Extended UI mod.
- My abilities, perks or powers are wrong or not as advertised: You have another mod loaded below Sacrosanct that modifies this content. Load it above Sacrosanct. Alternatively, this can be caused by applying this mod to an existing savegame: see above under "Installation". Alternatively, some mods will add their own vampire related features, overriding Sacrosanct. See the "Compatibility notes".
