Re: Vampire sims won’t autonomously drink bought plasma packs from inventory

@JCDARKH0RSE I tested this on my save and I also have no issues with it.

Could you try repairing your game through origin and deleting your localthumbcache file in documents ?

    Thank you for reply. I have reinstalled the game twice and repaired 3 times with each installation and it still will not rectify the problem. I think it is strange that it is doing this. I understand people have issues with the fridge etc but that doesn’t bother me its just the basic inventory problem. I have yet to try deleting the localthumbcache in documents so I will attempt that. But my concern with that is if I have already removed the game twice and both times deleted all EA files in documents to start a fresh will it continue. I will get back to you once I have attempted this. Again thank you.

    @JCDARKH0RSE So you tried different saves and it was the same on all of them ? Did you just try a premade family to ?

    All of it. Just does not make any sense. I even tried to match the options my partner had to see if something had glitched but no luck at all. They all refuse to eat on their own. I actually deleted all my saved sims to see if they were to blame and nothing every vampire I make refuses to budge. I asked my partner to try auto resolve and hers just happily picked up a pack and ate. I tried it on mine and nothing no response just sat or stood there blank. Soulless haha! Got to laugh about it but it is annoying to say the least.

    @JCDARKH0RSE Do you have any other autonomy issues ? Do normal Sims eat when you tell them to ?

    Did your partner try one of your saves on their machine ?

    @crinrict No she didn't try my saves on her machine. She only used hers to test and she tested both old creations and new. Could it be possible that a file has not been downloaded to my computer? And if that is the case would it be possible if I found said file and transferred to my own would it work and register correctly?

    @JCDARKH0RSE No. That's not the issue. If you reinstalled and repaired then you have everything you need. Don't know why its happening but if you also got rid of your user files it's really odd.

    What about my other questions?

    @crinrict Sorry yes the normal sims will do full autonomy with no problems at all. I have had some issues were items would get stuck in inventory but I can’t see that being the cause of it.

    @crinrict You won’t believe what it was...... This thread needs to stay up for anyone poor soul that suffers with this issue like me in the future. Right! I have a ASUS ROG STRIX laptop and theres a software that comes with it called “Sonic Studio” well I had my partner just log in on my laptop and download her own game of sims to test if the vampires would auto solve their thirst. Well guess what they wouldn’t. So it got me thinking recently I played Borderlands 2 on my PC and an issue with the audio not playing whilst in game. So I did a little bit a research and turned out to be this “Sonic Studio” you have to turn it off in order for the audio to work. Like a bug with the software. Anyway I told my partner to test that theory and see if it made a difference to the vampires drinking automatically. And to my surprise it actually worked! She turned off the “Sonic Studio” and my vampire sims finally drink!!! The software must be interfering with different games in mysterious ways haha! But thank you so much for your help and guidance on this issue it gave me more determination to find the source of my woe. :D

    @JCDARKH0RSE That certainly is the most curious thing ever.

    Maybe they're making some sound that is blocked by the software and that blocks out the interaction ?

    Really don't know.

    Good to know though

    I just bought Vampires on Xbox one and I'm having problems with vampires not drinking the plasma packs or fruit autonomously from their inventory. I have it on Pc to and my vampires can autonomously drink them but not on Xbox one. Please fix
