@crinrict I don't think so? I'm not very experienced when it comes to saves and all that so I don't mess around much with those. I can only share an attached screenshot of the saves that would correspond with the save I played when I cheated the vampire level. I don't know if any of the versions would serve as backup or if they would all be affected to be honest.
Any suggestions?
@vicucha_sc Regarding the check mark issue, please check if there is a weakness requirement. Each Vampire level requires you to add a weakness. Look in the lower right corner of the Vampire Powers window. Here my check mark is not available because I haven't selected 1 weakness.
If that's not the issue, do you use any mods? It's probably a good idea to test the game without mods. Just move the mods folder out and delete the localthumbcache.package file located in the Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder before opening the game for testing. You probably want to create a new game for testing so you don't make any inadvertent changes to your current save while testing.
If it's not a mod issue, then it could be an issue with the order of adding the cheats. Cheats can be unstable, so it's good idea to add level-up cheats in the order in which they would occur normally in the game. You can see the steps I recommend for leveling up a vampire using cheats by clicking the spoiler below.
First, if you have a normal sim that you want to turn to Vampire instantly, use the traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire cheat. This starts the sim as a Fledgling Vampire, 2 perk points and no requirement for weakness.
Then use the stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 202 cheat to raise the level to Minor Vampire. This adds 5 more perk points and a requirement for 1 weakness.
Repeat the process for adding the next levels one by one; using the perks if you wish and selecting the required number of weaknesses.
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 630 - for Prime Vampire
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1058 - for Master Vampire
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1486 - for Grand Master Vampire
For the Prime and Master levels, there is a requirement to select 1 weakness. At the Grand Master level, the requirement is 2 weaknesses.
Once the sim is a Grand Master, use the extra Vampire points cheat, which gives 2 points each time it is entered.
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593
You can enter that cheat multiple times to get as many points as you want for the perks. This example shows 65 points that I added using that cheat.
When adding points at the Grand Master level, no additional weaknesses are required.
I hope this helps!
