[WORKAROUND] Vampires won't turn sim after calling them to offer their gift

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? 1.48.94.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The vampire calls my sim over to offer his life long gift but never goes through with the action.
What happens when the bug occurs? You get a call from a vampire you are friends with so he can offer vampirism, but when they go to do the action it just goes in to a constant loop and nothing happens.
What do you expect to see? the prompt of wheather or not I want it, and then they do the action when I say yes.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. just the latest patch.

Caleb Vatore has called my sim over to offer to turn her into a vampire, but when he wants to turn her the action never happens and the avitar stays in a constant loop of him wanting to ask her.

    Yes, I mentioned that I have the same problem that you have, with the offer to give the gift and the offer loop and never getting turned. I'm saying that on my end the bug is being caused by Caleb not having enough energy to turn.

    Either Caleb needs to be able to do Dark Enegry autonomously so that he's not completely exhausted all the time (that would be great) or the game needs to override his exhaustion so that he can turn when he makes the offer (neither of which players can do without an official patch or mod). He also somtimes can't turn my sim when asked at random, he's been more exhausted than ever.

    I agree, it is a bug. The workaround for me it to play Caleb if I need to fix his energy, and then have him offer to turn (I can also play my sim and ask him.) This make things at lot less fun, though.

    I tried that last night and it did not work when I got the turn request. Do you disable it BEFORE or after you go to their house? Last time I tried it I disabled the autonomy after my sim got over to the vampires house. I still got the "looping be offered vampirism" anyway.
  • Same here. It was annoying! I had to eventually ask him. I really wanted to see the offer interaction.
  • Sorry if this is a bump, but...I have yet to get a call from Caleb (or any vampire) in my main save to that effect (I did get a call in a test save, but I clicked "Cancel"...did I disable that whole thing in my game install doing that?), but finding this topic browsing the issues...thanks for the heads up and the info! (It may not affect me, however, since I plan on saying "No" if/when I get there as part of the story I'm telling with a certain Sim in my game right now. X-D)

    @Nekoboy69 : I realize your post is old, but Caleb looks the same in both normal and Dark Form by default, just so you know. <3 😉 (Also, I don't have that thing with him or any vampire being in Dark Form all the time in my game.)

    EDIT: If this post is inappropriate for this topic, my apologies. 😳

    @StarryMight I think there is a very small change in his dark form if I remember correctly. Haven't played anything involving him in a while (I have my eyes on someone more "magical" 😉 atm. hehe
  • @Nekoboy69: Oh? I haven't noticed, but since I'm doing a test save right now and haven't changed him at all in it, I'll take a look. (EDIT: Just checked him in CAS a little bit ago...and he looks exactly the same to me in both forms, as far as I can tell.)

    Anyhow, back on (old?) topic from here on out!

  • I'm not sure if this is the exact same problem, but I thought I'll write here anyway since it at least seems related.

    My sim got a message from Caleb Vatore saying that he had something important to ask my sim and he wanted my sim to come to his place. I accepted, thinking that he might want to turn my sim into a vampire. In-game hours passed, nothing happened, they just chatted for a bit, and Lilith chatted with them too. I googled and found out that this message indeed means that the vampire wants to turn your sim into a vampire, and that it had worked for some people but not for others. I waited for a while longer, then Caleb went to work at sunrise, so I sent my sim home.

    Note that he didn't say what it was about, just that he had something important to ask me and wanted me to come over. I interpret this thread as people getting a message where Caleb explicitly tells them that he wants to turn them into a vampire. Another difference is that there wasn't any kind of loop, as some people have described in this thread, Caleb, Lilith, and my sim just chatted all night long, autonomously, and no question about turning my sim popped up.
