Please use this thread going forward: [DU] [V] Final Presentation kills Vampires | EA Forums - 12075230
Hi! I don't know if there's a fix for this yet, or maybe a workaround but I'm experiencing the same thing with my Vampire sim. And for me this goes one step further, cause when the Sim went to class (It was a class that doubled as Final Exam if that matters) he started burning all over again. I had to close the game to keep him from dying (I want him to have full marks cause I'm a perfectionist).
Any help or advice would be amazing!
There are a couple easy ways to deal with this.
1. Sun Resistance powers. These reduce the Vampiric Energy drained by being outside in the sun. At level 3, you have total immunity to sunlight.
2. Sunlight Reversal Cocktail. You learn the recipe at level 11 of Vampiric Lore. Make at a bar and drink before going out. You'll actually gain energy from the sunlight, instead of losing energy.
ETA: It also helps to take the Bat Form power, so you can get back inside faster when the presentation is over.
Ay thanks so much! Unfortunately my Sim is only a minor vampire and doesn't have access to any of the things you mentioned just yet... Do I just try it and pray he doesn't die? Or do I just let him tank his grade and deal with it to keep him alive?
He's level 7 in Vampire Lore and I've only just unlocked the second row of powers and he's only had to take 1 weakness, not the sun weakness, he's a guilty drinker.
Well, it's certainly a tough choice. It's probably better to be alive, with bad grades, than dead with no grades.
I would try attending the final exam, and hope for the best, then exit without saving if it ended up killing him. The second time, I would probably send him to class about 30 minutes late, so he wouldn't be in the sun quite as long,
For the future, I would recommend studying vampire lore as much as possible until you unlock the Sun Reversal recipe. That's almost certainly faster than getting Sun Resistance.
Thanks! I'll definitely work on the vampire lore, he's got all the geeky traits (I want him to be a supervillain/high society vampire) so that shouldn't be too hard. Hopefully he can graduate Uni first though lmao.
