Vampire attacks in or near town = one of the worst design decisions in the entire game.


I could search for it myself but I wanted several other people to confirm which one is authentic. In recent years there have been several incidents where fake mods were uploaded to NexusMods.

The most popular one doesn't remove the attacks but just makes citizens flee. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/28235/?


I use Requiem which stops them altogether. Probably other mods do this as well but I dont know which ones.

You can use http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/38151/ to manage this sort of thing too.

Do you want to prevent NPCs from dying? For this I use http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23614/? by Drowchyld777. It is a batch file that toggles named NPCs essential or non-essential. This has the added benefit of also protecting NPCs during Dragon, Cultist or any other attacks as well.

Oooo - Pser, that's a really GOOD mod. Thanks....

Ha! Took me a second to get the redshirt reference. I was wondering what essential NPCs has to do with college football. Then I realized it wasn't an NCAA reference but a Star Trek reference.

That's right but forgot about that. I installed Timing is Everything to stop random cultist attacks but it also allows you to stop vampire attacks and a bunch of other great stuff too. Highly recommended.

I'm a star trek fan and I still don't get it..

The crew members in the away party who wore the http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Redshirt always died pretty quickly. So, the "no more redshirts" mod keeps them alive by making them essential.

It's not an ideal solution for my game since I don't really like essential NPCs. The last thing I want to do is make them all essential.

Since the only Star Trek I ever watched was the original back in the 60s, and since at the time we had only a b&w tv (last family in Vegas to get a color tv....) I had no idea the shirts were different colors.

We had a colour telly at least, after a while you twigged which were those who were going to die on an away party, they were always people you had never seen before and almost always wore red shirts. Usually "security" you thought "ah he's dead, he's dead, etc!" Was quite funny once you realised it. Obviously they couldn't kill off the regular cast so extras were always drafted in and were usually distinguished by red shirts.

That's really funny! I should have realized about the people I'd never seen before. Then again, even in b&w, Star Trek was cool. The coolest tv show I'd ever seen at that point, and that lasted until Star Wars (when I got blown away by the lines the stars make when you hit hyperspace....) But I really never noticed stuff much back then - I was a married late teen, pregnant and with a husband on a ship in the Tonkin Gulf. Star Trek was escape.

Its surprising how many people don't get the redshirt reference. It might be as obscure as "i'll find the alien; you find the cat!". By the way on the advice of the other people here the flee mod has worked well for the game i'm playing now. Turja how do you start dragonborn if you aren't attacked by cultists?

It's pretty rare that I do the Dragonborn questline. But with Timing is Everything you can turn on cultist attacks long enough to get the initial attack with the note to start the questline and then go back into the MCM and turn them off again to stop the random attacks on the road. I was getting way too many of those random cultist attacks along the road in Skyrim, which seemed somewhat out of place, which is why I put a stop to them with TIE.

Here's the one I've used in the past:

It always worked perfectly for me no matter what type or number of other mods I used. It's very light and simple unlike some of the other suggestions here.
