I couldn't play aliens and vampires. I couldn't give my vampires any weaknesses even with them gaining enough experience to become Vampire Masters and Grandmasters. Because I couldn't give them weaknesses because of it I couldn't give them strengths, Yes I know there is a mod to remove weaknesses but when I am creating a game simply for testing I use zero mods and zero CC. I don't need my brain thinking well is it the game or the mods and CC causing the troubles. To eliminate that I simply play vanilla and remove my mods folder before starting my test household/s.
The draught of reconfiguration didn't work for me at all to reset my vampires. I had to keep them inside until after dark. My aliens would have the floating teeth and floating eyeballs with a weird head and I tried clearing stuff out because of it. I had to uninstall and reinstall Origins several times. I had to clear out my Origins cache a few times. I would have some aliens with missing body parts. I could not create daywalkers for the life of my sim and kept him inside until it got dark. I don't mind my having zero Daywalkers but I do like weakness to balance my vampires strengths when testing them in game. My kids were losing their guardians faster than my usual bad luck because of emotional deaths. My kid and her twin brother ended up going through 6 guardians before they aged up to teens. Which for me is something other than just rotten luck with my kids, (Yes I know I can disable emotional deaths but I do like that feature even though it makes my kids orphans and searching for what household they ended up in.). The game would constantly crash to the point I had to save after every action my sims did. The game would freeze a lot. Again this without mods and CC. It took about 2-3 months before everything was fixed. I ended up getting ahold of the help centre to finally fix it so that I could effectively test my households I created.
I haven't noticed anything terrible with the Get Famous pack updates at all. It's a little "laggy" but I think it's because they put the positivity activity in around the same time instead of waiting for a little while. I can give my vampires strengths and weaknesses. No floating teeth and eyeballs. No body parts missing. No crashing. No Freezing. No last exceptions in abundance. Not an overwhelming number of emotional deaths. No issues at all that I can find at going vanilla. I felt confident enough to have MCCC and a couple CC items that would be least suspected of causing problems. Slowly adding stuff back in now.
