[CHEAT] [V] Vampires keep all vampire weakness points when vampire rank lowered

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a vampire who is already a grand master vampire such as Vlad. They will have 5 vampire weakness points, which means they will have to have 5 vampire weaknesses. Then use a cheat code to lower their vampire rank such as stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 202 to send them back to being only a minor vampire. Although a minor vampire should have only 1 weakness point and so should need to take only 1 weakness, your vampire will still have 5 weakness points and so will need to take 5 weaknesses. And when you play your vampire and have them reach the next vampire rank another weakness point will be added. So, if they become a prime vampire, they will now have 6 weakness points rather than the 2 that they should have as a prime vampire and thus will need to take 6 weaknesses instead of 2.
What happens when the bug occurs? Vlad is a grand master vampire. I used a cheat code (NOT any mods) to make him a fledgling vampire again. A grand master vampire has 5 weakness points so as a grand master Vlad had 5 weakness points. When I made him a fledgling again, his weakness points should have been reset to 0 since a fledgling vampire has no weakness points. But his weakness points instead stayed at 5. Every time a vampire increases their vampire rank, the game gives them one additional weakness point and this happened to Vlad even though he was starting out with 5 weakness points already (instead of the zero he should have begun with as a fledgling). So, when he became a minor vampire he game gave him another weakness point and he then had 6 weakness points and when he became a prime vampire he got another weakness point so that he now had 7 weakness points. By the time he reached grand master, he had 10 weakness points which is double the number of weakness points that a grand master should have (grandmasters have 5 weakness points ordinarily).
What do you expect to see? I expect that when you lower a vampire's vampire rank, their weakness points will also reduce to the number of weakness points appropriate for that rank e.g. if you have a grand master vampire and make them a fledgling, their weakness points would go from 5 to 0.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I attach a picture of the vampire powers panel of a vampire whose rank has been reset from grand master to fledgling. As you can see, he has kept the 5 weakness points that he had as a grandmaster. As a fledgling vampire he should have 0 weakness points.

  • I recently found 2 ways to fix this and thought I'd share them just in case anyone else is having this issue.

    For these methods you will need to get your sim's ID with the Sims.Get_Sim_ID_By_Name cheat (e.g. for me I used Sims.Get_Sim_ID_By_Name Vladislaus Straud).

    Method 1:

    1. In the beginning, Vlad was a Grand Master and had 10 weakness points.
    2. I Used the cheat stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 0 to make Vlad a fledgling vampire again. At this point, his weakness points went down to 4 (should have been 0 for a fledgling vampire though)
    3. Then I used the cheat Bucks.Lock_All_Perks_for_Bucks_Type 40962 (sim ID) to reset his weakness points. At this point, his weakness points were still 4 (again, they should have been 0 for a fledgling)
    4. Used the cheat stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1486 to make him a grand master vampire. His weakness points stayed at 4 whereas they should have been 5 for a grand master but this is a lot better than having 10 weakness points
    5. I then found that I could use MCCC to give him an additional weakness point so that he had 5 weakness points. I did this by clicking on Vlad, MC Command Center, MC Cheats, Occult cheats, Vampire cheats, increase points, vampire weakness points, then I chose to increase his weakness points by 1. As a result, he now had 5 weakness points (the correct number for a grand master)

    Method 2:

    As an alternative method, I found the following:
    1. Again, in the beginning, Vlad was a Grand Master and had 10 weakness points.
    2. Used the cheat Bucks.Lock_All_Perks_for_Bucks_Type 40962 (sim ID) to reset his weakness points. At this point, his weakness points went to 0 (they should have been 5 for a fledgling)
    3. I then used MCCC to give him 5 weakness points. I did this by clicking on Vlad, MC Command Center, MC Cheats, Occult cheats, Vampire cheats, increase points, vampire weakness points, then I chose to increase his weakness points by 5. As a result, he now had 5 weakness points (the correct number for a grand master)
