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

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.89.214.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a half human,half werewolf with the "dormant wolf" trait become a vampire. Then have a baby with another full blooded vampire until you get a werewolf offspring by change. I got mine on the third baby and boy was she broken.
What happens when the bug occurs? My half werewolf, half vampire sim was broken when she was a toddler. She had an alternate form and when clicked on, her face and body were distorted and she was fully black with bright red eyes. When I aged her up to a teen her needs were all messed up and she basically had half werewolf needs and half vampire needs. When I tried to do her outfits in CAS everytime I would finish and save she would reset and look complete different in live mode. Her alternate form was also completely broken. Ever since then that save file has been broken and crashes constantly.
What do you expect to see? An update for the wolf pack specifically.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Screenshot (14) is of her abilities screen being shown as werewolf. Screenshot (18) is of her needs and how completely broken it is. Screenshot (17) is of her alternate form because it will not let me click on it.

    Did you already send your save game to EA ?

    Very well.

    No, I haven't sent the save. I did find a reason in code why it happens (which I also shared in the post), so sending the save would do no good as it'll happen in every save.

  • I don't know whether this is the same issue (and I;m not submitting my save because it might not be related) but I have a toddler who is a vampire but thinks she's a werewolf.


    The reason I think this is connected goes back a couple of generations in my werewolf/occult dynasty. Basically my current adult wolf sim has both the dormant wolf trait and the greater wolf blood trait. I thought this was impossible but apparently it wasn't. She got the dormant trait from her mother who inherited it from her mother (who was an activated werewolf). Whereas her other parent had the greater wolf blood trait. So a double wolf situation.

    The current adult wolf has three children. The first has the strong bloodline spellcaster trait but is a werewolf. He's grown up fine as a wolf with no glitches, I may cure him and take him on a spellcaster path later but he's not causing any issues rn.


    Second child is a wolf, but has the dormant wolf trait. His father is a normal human. He's a child atm but I'm assuming he'll just be a normal wolf when he ages despite only having the dormant trait. In my game these seem to autobecome wolves now...

    And the third child, Aurelia. Her dad is a vampire. When she was born she had the vampire thing above her head, so she was always a vampire. But then she aged up with the wolf, not the vampire on her stats. As a toddler she was getting wolf fang prompts, and in CAS she had two selves - one was the wolf and the other apparently was the vampire, although it behaved really weirdly and CAS didn't show her with any occult status.


    I used the cheat code to remove the wolf trait from her. It took multiple tries before it actually worked. When I did get it to work, her appearance changed automatically from the wolf appearance to the vampire appearance in CAS (bear in mind this is still only a toddler!)

    Since then she now has the vampire symbol on her stats. But...she is still getting wolf messages about wolf fangs...which I assume are lingering buffs but I don't want to use a mod to remove them. 

    I'm worried about what will happen when she ages up to teen. But because she doesn't have the dormant wolf trait, I'm not sure if this is a related or the same bug or not :/

    I am also not sure if it is just this family being that they are generation 5 or 6 now. I moved them from their old house as it was sometimes crashing, but to give context, the second child aged from infant to teen in basically one go (I had to cheat him back to toddler) and the gran had a mid-life crisis as an elder, rather than as an adult, before she passed away. So...it's possible my family is just bugged.

    But. Just in case it is related, I wanted to add that as a possible - wolves who for some reason have dormant and active wolf traits can also cause confused offspring.
