EA QV Team@sparky1922 Sorry to hear you got frustrated. Thank you however for trying to find the saves. If the issue crops up again please let us know.
I'm having this problem too. Is there any idea what's causing it at all? I have mods in my game but every vampire who isn't a grand master has a decent success/fail ratio with the deep drink and drain life spirit interactions. So I don't think it's a mod thing but I could be wrong.
EA QV Team@MarshJV Have you tried playing without the Mods to see if that has any impact on this behavior? What Mods are you using?
@marshallvent Vampires have an extremely high failure rate with their compel powers if they're in the sun - even with sun resistance 3. Maybe try bringing them indoors or waiting until nightfall? I haven't had a single failure unless my vamp was in the sun or had daytime phobia.
EA QV TeamHi all,
Is anyone happy to provide a save with this issue occurring? If so please upload your documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves folder following the instruction here
Thank you for any info provided.
Hi IrishMadCat
I have started a new game, no mods/cc but have added a master vampire fully skilled from the gallery to test if this problem remains and I did have a fail the first time I sent the vampire out into the forgotten hollow world to compel for a drink.
Before I test any further could you please let me know the circumstances in which a fail would be considered normal game-play or any scenarios where it could be likely the vampire may fail as this will save time for me by being able to avoid those circumstances I might otherwise think was a glitch.
Apologies for not being around for awhile RL and running off to play other sims series for enjoyment purposes took over-)
Here are the situations where failure is normal:
- If the vampire is in the Sun, powers will fail often (regardless of sun resistance)
- If there is garlic nearby, the vampire will often fail to drink
- If the target Sim (the one you're trying to drink from) has the vampire resistance cocktail, you won't be able to drink from him
Some people say that if your vampire has the daytime weakness, drinking will fail during the day. However, I don't see where that is tested. It's tested in the mind-powers scoring, but not with compelling sims for a drink.
Thank You Hadron1776,
I will begin by testing these scenarios out (and others) my vampires have never had the daytime weakness so I cannot speak to that. I do remember when this happened I has so many saved games I kept going back through them all but could never find what I thought was the right save to continue to test properly so this is why I have started a new folder to test-)
EA QV TeamThank you @Hadron1776
If you can get it to occur again @sparky1922 iplease forward on the save. We haven not been able to replicate the issue so far.
Hi,
Irishmadcat and Hadron1776
I have tested for hours ( real life time) today with my new grand master vamp sim from the gallery so obviously I have not levelled up this vampire myself like I did with the others and so far after my vamps first fail in the daytime he has been able to compel at all times during the night hours in community lots, forgotten hollow world outside and in his own home so that is very satisfactory. He did fail one more time outdoors in sunlight as hadron1776 suggested might happen and I don't mind an infrequent fail but not at all times fails like it was before which is why I had to ask for help in the first place.
I do not wish for you to take any more time on this as hopefully it has righted itself and I really hope so as vamps are my favorite supernaturals and I love the compel for a drink interaction and did not want to lose it. If it happens again where the vamp cannot compel ever again would I be able to reopen this thread and ask for help again?
EA QV TeamThank you for taking the time on this @sparky1922

I have spent time I just wish I could have been quicker but sometimes RL gets in the way. Thank you for all your support throughout this issue it is much appreciated.
