EDIT: OPEN BETA IS NOW OUT!
Today's the day folks.
You can now play 4.0 for real! This pre-release is basically identical (minus a few bugfixes, if applicable) to the open beta which will be available publicly in a few weeks time.
I know I say this a lot, but the 'biggest update of all time' applies more than ever, with more than a 1k line increase (from 3.3) and huge amounts of new content and improvements. Kerstyn and I keep outdoing ourse...

Hey everyone! This is the (likely final) dev build for SDA 3.4! So far, its 95% or so feature complete, with all the features coded in, minus some voice lines that have yet to be added (for the Sybille Banter and some custom names extras).
The next build I post will likely be the pre-release, which is safe for regular play!
Think of it as a closed beta, while the dev builds are more like WIP Alphas. Aft...

Hello everyone!
The following clarification applies for everyone who has, or will continue to request custom content in SDA (and in the distant future, Ashe). This includes but is not limited to: Custom Names, Custom Conversations, and Name Drops.
You only need to be a Patreon for one month to request custom content. However, you can only request for custom content when 1. I am currently accepting requests for an update and 2. You are currently an active, paying Patron. You can ma...

Hey everyone, this has been brought up a bunch of times via comments or DMs, so I thought I'd talk about it here.
In terms of Version 3.4 working on existing saves, it should, but there's a catch. This is from the changelog (which you can also find on my website):
"This update, despite the extensive ch...

How do you guys feel with me using AI for NPC Banter? While I decided to be against it in terms of a Laura Bailey version of SDA (if you aren't aware, you can read this reddit thread I made: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/10u1joy/sda_laura_bailey_ai_revoice/)

Sneak Preview!
While working on the expanded Inigo Banter, I noticed something - some of the conversations only make sense when Serana is doing a certain action (like cooking). It wouldn't make sense for it to just be a random idle conversation.
So I thought to actually have Serana cook during the conversations, which led me to rework the cook feature!
In short, when you ask Serana for stew now (and she is in a home or within the vicinity of a cooking pot) s...

Hey everyone! Just making sure for people who made requests, that they're actually going to be in Version 3.4. We've gotten a huge number of requests, so I apologize if I missed any. If you already made a Version 3.4 request and it's not in the script sheet or recording folder yet, let me know! If not, then you'll have to wait until the next version before your name gets put in.

Hey guys! Custom Convos and Name Drops are now added into the dev build! So it now has all 3.4-requested content for all three. For the custom convos, make sure you are your requested name (of course) and Serana knows that. Then, click the "Enable Custom Patron Dialogue" option in the Custom Names menu. For them to occur, make sure the conditions are valid for the specific context - you can either playtest on your own or use console commands to set particular quest stages (if...

Hey guys! Pretty brief but important FYI, a rough ETA for Version 3.4's pre-release (exclusive open-beta only open for Patrons, for two weeks) is by the end of March.
Yes, (as with even the dev builds now) Xbox users will get access to it too (through the private mod page).
The actual date may be days or weeks earlier, or later, depending on how fast Kerstyn and I work and other factors.
As usual, I'll be sending dev builds even before t...

Hey guys! Quick dev update. Kerstyn has just sent me the custom names recordings, so will get to implementing them in the Creation Kit soon! Will share a dev build with you guys when it's ready.
The names (in code CK subtitles) are already implemented, so hopefully this shouldn't take too long!
Sorry for the delay, and I hope you enjoy your custom names content when it's ready!

Hey guys! I've compiled a list already of all the spells you'll be able to teach Serana in Version 3.4 (if you know them) and use Apocalypse.
They're as follows. More spells to come in future updates! Also support for mods like Mysticism which add a whole slew of vampire-themed spells!

Hey guys! If you use Apocalypse (or have ever used it) what are your favorite Serana-centric/vampire-themed spells?
Making a list to implement with the Apocalypse add-on for the Serana spell teaching. At least with the first pass, I obviously can't implement every single Apocalypse Spell as there's a whole crap ton of them lol.

Do you guys have references for good makeup, brow, eye, and skin (preferrably pale) mods? Looking for good texture mods to incorporate in my own custom Serana Replacer.
Still working on it, it's just taken a while since it's low priority.
From the Serana appearance survey I conducted back then, "Make your own" won by a very slim margin, and second after that was basically "idc bro u do u".
Anyway, here's what I have so far!

Hey folks,
While Kerstyn and I were going through the dry run we noticed one or two duplicates, but when I did some more digging, looks like a bunch more names are already in the mod.
These are: TALION, EIRIK, ADRAN OMEN, MICHAEL, KOLBJORN, VIVA, CASTIAN, ALEXANDER, and LAUREN.
If any of you requested one of these names, you can request another.
However, (especially if you have a higher tier than the name originally was, like Serana's Spous...

Hey folks! While Vigilant Commentary is still a way's away, (Version 3.5) I've started planning for it, along with some awesome fans of the mod who've been willing to lend their time to help with the writing.
However, while planning, I realized that Vigilant is a PC-only mod. That means Xbox users, a huge portion of the SDA fanbase, would not be able to enjoy this piece of content. For one update cycle, other than Custom Names the Xbox people would effectively receive nil content, if I ...
