So I just installed Seasons, Realm of Magic and Discover University. The first time I launched the game after installing the packs everything was normal. But the second time I launched it, all of a sudden every single one of my vampire sims have Day Phobia (of those who didn't have it from before). Like normal, it only appears when the sun is in the sky, but it's still annoying since they shouldn't have it to begin with.
Even when the "Day Phobia" buff is active, when I check the vampire weakness list it isn't among the ones I've chosen. So the weakness isn't there, but the buff "Day Phobia" with the "+ 3 Tense" effect is.
I tried removing it by using the MCCC to manually remove the buff, but whenever a sim goes to work, school or leaves the lot, when they come back the buff returns as well. Or if I there's another sunrise it'll reappear as well.
I have 7 sims in the household, all of them vampires. Only one should have the Day Phobia weakness.
I'd assume maybe Seasons caused this somehow because of the change in weather? I have no clue.
I haven't installed anything new since I installed the new packs and I have no mods that changes anything related to Vampires.
- @crinrict Strange, I moved two of the sims out because the lag was starting to get unbearable, and now both them and the family I moved them from have no Day Phobia buffs anymore. I don't know what caused it, but it seems to be gone now.
They still have the "buff_Vampire_Daytime" in hidden buffs, but it's probably supposed to be there.
Thank you for investing your time into trying to solve this!
Hopefully nobody else runs into this mysterious bug.
