I'm looking to get a friend of mine into some of these fun, open world Bethesda games. Christmas is around the corner, and I'm thinking this is my chance! He lacks a PC or even a laptop, though I HAVE managed to "sell" him my old Playstation 4 (in all honestly I really just wanted him to have a decent current gen gaming system, and selling mine to him for cheap did the trick). If I want him to play one of these games, it'll have to be the Playstayion 4 version. I'm curious where to start though! Skyrim is of course the more popular and epic game, but Fallout 4 is newer and a bit more on the fun side when it comes to tone. I believe both have limited mod support on the PS4, but I'm not sure whether Skyrim: Special Edition or Fallout 4 is getting better attention in that regard. Which would you recommend I stuff in his stocking (does that sound like a euphemism to anyone else), and why?

It's a little disappointing that as a vampire, the player never has the option of turning his/her spouse if they don't join Volkihar. What I would suggest is a little dialogue option that appears when a script checks two things before allowing that option to appear: A. completion of the Dawnguard questline with the Dawnguard faction B. being a vampire Choosing the dialogue option begins the quest "The Gift" with unique quest footnotes in the quests tab. For flavor, the option can be a persuasion test the player can make once a day, to roleplay being a convincing/charming character for people who invest in raising Persuasion, or being persistent in trying to convince their spouse(not investing much into Persuasion), so that players don't have to level the skill if they don't want to. Turning spouse from diseased immortal to Vampire Lord If turned into a 'lesser' vampire the first time, aka not a vampire lord, a second script can be made to check spouse's race and allows a second option to appear(possibly after a few days for roleplay purposes) to prompt a second turning, this time for Vampire Lord. If the check is positive for 'lesser' vampire race, the dialogue option appears and can be selected to start "The Gift" again, this time to turn regular vampire spouse into Vampire Lord (only special change being 'turn [spouse] into a Vampire Lord'). This would work in hand with Better Vampires, a mod which allows the player to turn whoever they want, but it would allow the quest to be available to players who choose the Dawnguard faction.

I accidentally double-posted a duplicate of this topic. Sorry about that.

So I play an Argonian Vampire, and was looking forward to turning my dear Shahvee into a vamp through the quest The Gift, when I found out she is one of the marriable NPC's excluded from said quest. Is there any mod that expands the list of NPC's that can be turned?

Hello everyone! I started playing Ultimate Edition and faced this issue. So, I'm buying some gifts (I tried only Alistair Doll and Qunari Prayers for the Dead so far) and give them to Morrigan and Sten respectively. As a result, I get +approval but the gifts still take place in my inventory. As far as I understand, given gifts should vanish from the inventory. So, what can be the problem in my case? Win 10 x64, mods: Theta HD only. Thank you.

When the dialogue comes up and I click "I have something for you" it crashes. Anything can I do?

Yeah, I wanted to see if I could turn my spouse into a vampire. Couldn't get the quest started no matter what. Turns out Bethesda made a list of NPC's one cannot make into vampires. Now, I can understand not being able to turn Farkas, Vilkas and Aela into vampires, since they're werewolves, but all the others? I'd like a mod that makes me able to accept the The Gift quest from Vingalmo, and turn my spouse into a vampire - no matter who it is. ... Except maybe the werewolf trio, heh. Anyways, I hope someone'll want to help me - thank you in advance! :biggrin:

Hello, How can I make custom mod toys and children’s gifts actually giftable to my adopted children? I thought I had them tagged appropriately in CK but they never appear as options to give during gameplay.
