No options for 'read mind' and 'make a sim think about me'

Hi, I'm currently playing with a vampire sim in Bridgeport. I have all Eps and Sps installed. Long time ago, I was able to use 'read mind', 'mind control'? and 'make a sim think about me' with my vamp sim but I can't find these interactions with other supernatural races and also humans as well.

The things I've tried are:

1. Took out Mods folder entirely, and tried: failed

2. I moved my customized vamp sim into New Bridgeport without mods folder: failed

3. I switched to the vampire resident Slayer family but even she didn't have that option.

4. I inactivated supernatural pack on launcher but still  no options.

Also I inactivated LN instead of Supernatural but still no options.

(I doubted it might be 2 vampires races in 2 Eps..)

My patch version is  1.69 and recently installed all via Origin on PC on last April 26th.

[Update]

5. I created a new Sims 3 folder and opened Bridgeport again as a new game.

No Mods, No Store Items, No CCs..

This is Hemlock vampire family. Still no read mind and make a sim think about me

This is Elvira Slayer, a female vampire but still no option.

This is Beau Meric. No options.

Is this a bug? or Is it only happening in my game? Should I entirely re install all packs to fix this?

    I got the answer myself.

    This is my customized vampire sim. Now he can get 'read mind' and 'make a sim think about me'.

    Wonderful..! So I believed what you said about the relationship. Because they are his good friends. But..there was another thing happened. He was able to get the 2 options with some mixologists in Prosperous Room lounge and they are strangers to him.

    And..I noticed this vampire moodlet.

    I waited until the next morning.

    This is his good friend and housemate. Now the options have gone.

    It looks like these 2 options work during the night time while the Vampire Vigor moodlet is activated.

    Thanks for helping my issue.  I just would have given up to find the solution without you. 🙂

  • @aodoherty  I doubt reinstalling the game will accomplish anything.  If you want, you can run a repair instead: open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, and select Repair.  This will restore default versions of any modified game files, including the .sgr files, so if you've edited them, set your modified copies aside and put them back after the repair is finished.

    Just checking, but are the sims you've targeted human?  Is it nighttime in the game?  Please also test on a sim your vampire has a high relationship with; you can use MC > Intermediate > Long-term Relationship: by value to set the relationship to 80 or whatever.

    @puzzlezaddictThis is ts3, not 4. Thanks. Do these interactions work only for friends? Ok I will try this later on and bring a feedback. Thanks.🙂 No, it was 9am in the morning because Bridgeport is a type of dark city without cc lighting mod.

    @aodoherty  Sorry, that was a typo, but I did mean Sims 3.  (I don't even own the vampire pack for Sims 4.)  But I did wonder whether the options were only available at night, since that's when vampire powers are strongest.

    @puzzlezaddictI know what you mean. I have no idea why they are only available during the night time. I tested this in the afternoon but didn’t get these options . I haven’t found this in sims wiki either. I tried the make adrian think about me one more time about at 5 am, and the interaction was greyed out, and then, after 6 am, the interaction disappeared.

    @aodoherty  I guess vampires are so overpowered already, the developers wanted at least some small limits on their abilities.  At least you found the answer, even if it's not convenient.

    @puzzlezaddict Yes I agree with that developers limited the powers. Otherwise, I can’t find other way to solve this. I already tested this with only Bridgeport residents in the very clean sims 3 folder but they were the same.
