@DonroaAkashu , I actually have only seen about 2 complaints that the Vampire behavior was toned down. One was here and another was in the comments section to a YouTube video a while ago. Almost every complaint I've encountered has bee what led to that behavior being toned down in the first place! I think most people what some control and security in the game. And yes, this is quite different from previous versions of the Sims. Take TS3 where you could be minding your own business and then suddenly a meteor kills your Sim! 😱😅 TS2 and even the original Sims game were more like that!
I've never played the Sims as a child or teen (because it didn't exist when I was a child or teen) ! So some things that might have bothered me even as a teen might not bother me as much as an adult. I would have been terrified of the fires in the game when I was young, for example. Vampires not so much since, well, they aren't real! 😄
I do hope we get to control any new types of Sims like Werewolves so that if we find them too annoying or scary, we can make the game more to our needs. And I also hope we have more control so more people can enjoy the game! 🙌
Also, I'm happy I made you laugh! 🤣
I scour the internet for information on this game, ever since I had my fist perplexed moment when first starting to play TS3 a couple of years ago and tried to find some fix for it I was surprised and fascinated at how much players decide to say online about the games, it is sometimes more entertaining than playing the game itself.
The complaints I have read about vampires being toned down are plenty, and many on The Sims Forum. That crowd are hasty to voice their dissatisfaction though, and are allowed to there, and the group that regularly post in that forum seems small considering that it is the official forum, so it might not mean much.

@DonroaAkashu , I figured there was a group of people that didn't like the toned down behavior, but I was surprised I had never run into them except on those 2 occasions! But I don't have much time to spend on the Official forums like I used to. I'd rather post here and I'd rather play the game! 😉
I do remember that quite a few players were upset that when you asked a Vampire to actually turn you into a Vampire, that the Vampire would turn you by drinking from your wrist.
But thank for the information, as I was expecting those people to be out there somewhere! 😅 I suspect that they are either old school Sims players or else die hard Vampire enthusiasts! 😉 - DonroaAkashu5 years agoSeasoned Ace
@PugLove888 Yes, old school is a good term; there seems to be some competition in how long one has played the game, and what constitutes a 'simmer', and that it actually is a term! 'Deviant player' as well..

@DonroaAkashu I started with the original, but I first played it on console... either late 2002 or early 2003. I didn't see the need to buy the computer version until the PC version came out with Unleashed! 😃🐶🐱 I got unleashed in 2003 and never looked back! 🥳 (I would still play the console versions of TS2 and TS3 , but those were very different from the base game.). So while I wasn't playing from the beginning, I did play from the first version! 🙌
And I've always called myself a "Simmer" even before I ever heard anyone else use that term for us! 😃 - DonroaAkashu5 years agoSeasoned Ace
Then you are a true simmer, and would rank higher than me if one would apply such a system! :D
- PugLove8885 years agoHero (Retired)
@DonroaAkashu Well, anyone who is crazy about the game is a Simmer, at least in my book!! 🙌🥳 Some Simmers weren't even born when the Sims came out, and that isn't their fault! 😉
