@Eci_The_Vamp Yeah, we are not supposed to have hybrids, but the game effectively gives us an opportunity to HAVE them. It never made sense to me.

I had the exact same situation as you. There was a thread here about the issue as well, but I couldn't find it right now. What someone in that thread suggested, and I'm going by memory right now: Use the toddler to Change sim in mirror/dresser. Change the alien part of the toddler to how you would like the "disguise" to be, because the "human" part of the disguise will not stick no matter how many times you go into CAS. If you need any changes to any other family members, this is the time to do it. If you go back to CAS after, you'd have to do it all again.

I did this for my vamp/alien, but its been a long time since I played that family, I could be remembering wrong. Anyway, I only entered CAS with her when she aged up. So far so good, she has alien powers and is coming along with her vampire part pretty nicely last time I played.

So it can be done, but its not "supported". And not counting the CAS thing, I've not had any other trouble with her.

@Kathykins Well my goodness thank you! It’s nice to know it is “possible” lol and I’m not going crazy. I knew something had to be up when my vamp came back preggo from the first abduction smh ugh when I played my actual family it took my husband forever to get a successful abduction. Either way thanks I’m going to try this in a few days and I’ll be sure to let you know how it turned out!

    @Eci_The_Vamp  I thought I was crazy too :D As far as I know, the trouble is because a vampire/alien has 3 forms, human and the two occult forms. CAS can't handle it. You can't edit dark form, as that doesn't show up at all, and the human disguise won't stick.
     
    Adding a picture where you can see her alien plumbob, while doing the Vampire Dark Meditation. She has both alien and vamp powers.

      @Kathykins Oh wow that’s awesome!! I’m so jelly lol hopefully when I age our son up to a teen his vampiric powers will be there. Wishful thinking lol and yeah see that’s what I noticed when I went to change his outfits I was thinking only two forms? I was looking to see at least 3. You’ve given me hope! I can hardly wait till Tuesday!

        @Eci_The_Vamp Awesome! Crossing fingers for you 🙂 There are 5 sims in the house, but I think she is my favorite of the family, must say. I really should get back to them, because I think she is ready to move out and conquer the world :D
