[NEEDS SAVES] [W] [V] Dormant Werewolf/Vampire offsprings cause hybrids

How do I fix this glitch? I think I got the right screenshot

Or is it one of these. I was told this was impossible. https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/1000723/werewolf-vampire-hybrid

I had a dormant werewolf that had a baby through science and then married a human with a vampire father after the baby was born and the  baby ended up being a hybrid half werewolf half vampire

Problem that I've not only found in tuning files, but also saw in-game beforehand.

In traits.trait_tracker module, there is this spot:

<U>
<L n="outcomes">
<U>
<T n="trait">
289780
<!-- trait_OccultWerewolf -->
</T>
</U>
<U>
<T n="trait">
149527
<!-- trait_OccultVampire -->
</T>
</U>
</L>
<L n="parent_a_whitelist">
<T>
288908
<!-- trait_OccultWerewolf_DormantWolf -->
</T>
</L>
<L n="parent_b_blacklist">
<T>
154672
<!-- trait_OccultVampire_DarkLeyLine -->
</T>
</L>
<L n="parent_b_whitelist">
<T>
288908
<!-- trait_OccultWerewolf_DormantWolf -->
</T>
</L>
</U>

In short, what it does is that if two parents have Dormant Wolf trait and at least one of them isn't affected by Dark Ley Line lot trait, the baby resulting from them is either a vampire or a werewolf. It can also result in a vampire-werewolf hybrid, which has been reported here.

What code it should run is this:

<U>
<L n="outcomes">
<U>
<T n="trait">
289780
<!-- trait_OccultWerewolf -->
</T>
<T n="weight">2</T>
</U>
<U>
<T n="trait">
289080
<!-- trait_OccultWerewolf_GreaterWolfBlood -->
</T>
</U>
</L>
<L n="parent_a_whitelist">
<T>
288908
<!-- trait_OccultWerewolf_DormantWolf -->
</T>
</L>
<L n="parent_b_whitelist">
<T>
288908
<!-- trait_OccultWerewolf_DormantWolf -->
</T>
</L>
</U>

According to which two parents with Dormant Wolf trait should have a baby that is either a werewolf or has Greater Wolf Blood trait.

Testing out in game (through the Science baby method), my sim had twin girls:

• One was a werewolf with Greater Wolf Blood trait.
• The other was a vampire-werewolf hybrid. Again, the hybrid thing is also reported in here.

In short, the only fix I could see done here is that in the first code, trait_OccultVampire_DarkLeyLine isn't excluded, but rather included.

Otherwise right now, the Dark Ley Line lot trait will always result in werewolf babies in a Dormant Wolf pair.

I'm thinking it might still be a issue and can happen to any player.

I am suspecting one potential reason however.

The occult inheritance thing won't take into an account if the dormant werewolf is another occult or not.

So, seeing that the dormant werewolf is a vampire at the moment, I suspect two codes running:

• Vampire + Vampire = Vampire

  <L n="outcomes">

  <T n="trait">
  149527
  <!-- trait_OccultVampire -->

  </L>
  <L n="parent_a_whitelist">
  <T>
  149527
  <!-- trait_OccultVampire -->
  </T>
  </L>
  <L n="parent_b_whitelist">
  <T>
  149527
  <!-- trait_OccultVampire -->
  </T>
  </L>
  </U>

• Vampire + Dormant Wolf = Either a Werewolf or Vampire

  <U>
  <L n="outcomes">
  <U>
  <T n="trait">
  289780
  <!-- trait_OccultWerewolf -->
  </T>
  </U>
  <U>
  <T n="trait">
  149527
  <!-- trait_OccultVampire -->

  <L n="parent_a_whitelist">
  <T>
  288908
  <!-- trait_OccultWerewolf_DormantWolf -->
  </T>
  </L>
  <L n="parent_b_blacklist">
  <T>
  154672
  <!-- trait_OccultVampire_DarkLeyLine -->
  </T>
  </L>
  <L n="parent_b_whitelist">
  <T>
  149527
  <!-- trait_OccultVampire -->
  </T>
  </L>
  </U>

Due to both sims being vampires, the vampire life state is applied. But then after, vampire + dormant wolf part is run, which may re-add vampire life state or add werewolf life state, resulting in a hybrid.

So yeah, I'd call it an oversight in code. Either they'd add additional tags or remove the ability for Dormant Wolf sims to become another occult.

Decided to test it out just in case it has been secretly fixed.

The issue persists.

I had a dormant werewolf have a science baby as a single parent (which is same as two dormant werewolves having a baby). One came out as werewolf, the other as werewolf-vampire hybrid.

Here's a picture of their bassinets...

And when I aged up the one that was in the vampire bassinet... Oh would you look at that.

The werewolf baby got Greater Wolf Blood though!

Could this be the same issue you're seeing ?

Yep, I have also posted there too.

There seems to be a problem with Dormant Werewolves in particular as the game applies the Dark Ley Line modifier if they didn't try for a baby on a lot with that trait.

For now, the only workaround of this is trying for a baby in lots with Dark Ley Line trait.
