Re: [FIXED] [V] Vampire breaking in on community lots

Just had the issue at the Romance Festival.

My poor vampire clan was stuck at Planet Honey Pop for most of the day as I tried to reset every vampire in the vicinity to fix the problem & there were many. (At least 5 beyond my 4. I guess vampires need love too.) Anyhow, I'm unsure if that did it because it did take a while after resetting everyone I saw or maybe the vampire burglar either got what they wanted or just gave up. I guess we'll never know.

  • Ran into this problem today. Sims at karaoke bar sent one home.  Vamps at karaoke bar (townies I guess) my Sims couldn't go home (vampire break in?) and I couldn't return to other Sim. Don't know what happened it finally let my Sims leave.

    The latest patch still hasn't fixed this problem. I had a vampire stalking around Chez Llama restaurant, and although my Sim was able to Pay for Meal, the game could not be saved and the Sim was not allowed to go home until the vampire on the lot left. My poor Sim was exhausted by then and had to take a vacation day.

  • I had this happen to me too. It's clearly a bug with so many people dealing with it. I had three vampires stuck there in sunlight and only the testing cheats motives hack kept them alive. I had the same message about vampires breaking in but they were trying to go home. I have been afraid to let any of my vampire seniors leave the Hollow now because of this happening, in case they cannot get home, so it severely restricts their movements if they do not have sunlight immunity.

    The way I solved it in the end in my game was to disband the group, somehow, when the option was eventually available, but they still didn't go home. However by doing this it allowed me to go back to the main house menu. I went to their house but they were all absent and it was not possible to load the house without them there so I couldn't call them home. I ended up moving in a random sim to that house so that I could load the house, and thus call them home. Two of them had to go to school so fortunately they automatically trotted off there and from that point were able to go home. In the case of the third sim, she eventually came home by herself but it was worrying. This also precipitated one of those vampires becoming invisible for which I had to repair the game in order to make him visible on the screen again (he had an avatar but no physical presence in the house).

    Since repairing the game I haven't dared take any sun-prone vampires out to those kinds of venues so I have no idea if it is a problem. I had a sun-safe vampire visit a human in a different neighbourhood and he was able to go home safely, but that was a home and not a community lot so I don't know whether it matters.

    My sims were a long way from the lot in question when they got stuck, they were walking along a very long path and then stopped and couldn't go any further because of that message. I don't know if a NPC vampire was breaking in to the community lot or if this was some other bug preventing them going home, but I would've thought that if it was the former the solution would be to stop vampires breaking into community lots?

    Either way the last post on this issue was apparently January, I had the problem in this August just gone so it would be great if there was a fix to prevent it in a future patch...

  • I had the same issue on ps4 after trying to leave the spice festival. I ended up speaking with a vampire on the spice festival lot who was at the time singing karaoke. The vamps name is Vladislaus Straus if that makes any difference. I spoke to him and still couldn't go home so I clicked "invite to" under active and that unlocked it so I could go home. I didn't have to actually choose a location. None of my sims are vamps btw.

    (copied from the forums)
    For a while now, Vampires have been glitching. I'm not sure about playable ones, but npc ones don't seem to be working right:

    1) some npc vampires will knock at the door and stand there until invited in, and then when you invite them in they just hang around for a few hours and then leave.

    2) When Vlad does his usual first bite(after introducing himself) he will walk up to the door and then turn around and leave, having done nothing.

    3) Sometimes when on a public lot, a vampire will enter and my sims are unable to leave until the vampire quits trying to bite someone. This will last for several sim hours and the vampire won't even do anything!

    Hi @Tazzykiki

    only 3 sounds like the issue this thread is about.

    As for 1 & 2, are you using any mods in your game ? Does this also happen on a new save ? If so, please start a new thread for it (I think they are similar enough to fit in one thread.

    Thanks.

    I don't use any types of mods or cc. And I tried making a post here but it was stuck on Preview and there was no submit button. I also tried posting on the Forums but got redirected here to post my issue.

    Thanks! I managed to get it posted. Before I had put something in the composed section and it didn't work, but now it does...odd.
