Re: [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? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.106.148.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion packs, all game packs, all stuff packs, Bust the Dust Kit, Country Kitchen Kit, Throwback Fit Kit, Courtyard Oasis Kit, Industrial Loft Kit, Industrial Loft Kit, Fashion Street Kit, Incheon Arrivals Kit, Blooming Rooms Kit, Little Campers Kit, Desert Luxe Kit, Holiday Celebration Pack, and Family Portrait
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have either 2 sims with Dormant Wolf trait and have them have a baby or have 1 sim with Dormant Wolf trait and have them have a science baby as a single parent.
What happens when the bug occurs? The born baby will either be a werewolf, a vampire, or a werewolf-vampire hybrid.
What do you expect to see? According to tuning files, it should result in either a werewolf or a werewolf with Greater Wolf Blood trait.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
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.
