Re: Sometimes my premade Sims can't use their powers/weaknesses?

This is because you have to take 45 weaknesses, according to this picture. If you have weakness points that you don't "spend" you're not allowed to save. 

Since some weaknesses conflict with powers, if you take certain powers you won't be able to take the conflicting weakness.  So having 45 weakness points that you're required to spend means that you would be unable to get Sun Resistance, Vampiric Slumber, Deadened Emotions, Tamed Thirst, and perhaps another one I'm forgetting at the moment. 

I would avoid loading up my vampire with 45 weakness points if I intended to use some of the conflicting powers.

    Is there any way to fix this, or reset this? 

     (I tried putting in the weakness reset cheat/mccc center's reset weaknesses and it does nothing. the weakness reset cheat says that it's invalid.)

    I see what you mean...I wanted to make the father of a Vampire sim and I used a cheat to get him to grand master.. I hope there's a way to undo this!

    so, i wanted to make a premade vampire sim in cas (I made one sim as a vampire, and I wanted to make the parent of that vampire), and make him above the minor vampire rank. what i didn't know, is that it would totally mess up my "take weaknesses" thing, and now i can't select any powers or weaknesses at all! is there some way to reset the weaknesses completely where i don't have any at all? i tried everything, and with the limited vampire cheat system (because devs removed half of it, don't know why), and now my vampire is forever some dud that could only suck blood from people.

    @chocogotho Did you check if maybe MCCC has an option to remove weakness points ?

    Maybe curing him and making him vampire again would help ?
  • @crinrict Yes. If you remove a vampire sim's vampire powers with the points then it'll just show the same powers that you have. I can't undo the weakness/powers.

    @chocogotho No, I mean cure them from being a Vampire, then make them a Vampire again. Are they still the same level if you do that ?
  • @crinrict Yes. That is what I meant to say. When you turn them normal, and back into a vampire, they still keep the same weakness/power points.

    Have you tried making and drinking the Ultimate Vampire Cure to make your Sim human, then asking another vampire to turn your Sim back into a vampire and waiting while your Sim goes through the turning process? It sounds to me like you are relying on cheats, which isn't the same as using normal game mechanics and might not have the same results.

    ETA: Sorry, it doesn't look like that will make a difference. I tried with Vlad drinking the cure and then turning back to vampire. It did remove all his powers and weaknesses but he had his original rank when he finished the transformation process, along with the power and weakness points from his original rank. Looks like there's no hope for your Sims who already have too many weakness points.
