Annoying vampire bat and mist form

Same thing is happening to my vamps. I can understand it on an emotional level (if I could turn into a bat, obviously I'd use bat form to pop out to the fridge or the loo, just to show off, because hahaha look at me guys, I'm a plummin' BAT), but as a gameplay mechaninc it gets old fast...

Weird, I remember vampires using the bat form to move around the same room even right after the game pack came out. I don't quite understand it on an emotional level, as @MorieTris ssaid. I mean, you have a good point, I agree, but then again, Sims use it even when they're alone ;) Also, more seriously, I believe it must be tiring. I find it annoying as well, so I always turn off that option on my Sims. I only wish that that choice would stay with Sims when changing the households.

Now that you mention it, @MissNightOwl I'm not even sure it's because of the update. 'Cause I remember it happening waaaay before the C&D patch, with a different family I was playing. And I usually only play one family per save, I don't tend to switch, and even then most of the time I turned the auto-transform option off, the next time I loaded the game there they were, fluttering about like lunatics. Sigh. I usually don't even pick up the ability any more, even though I find it really cute (bats are cute, lovey-dovey vampies bat-Woohooing are even cuter), just because I can't keep track of whether it's on or off and it's just a hassle.

Yeah, it's honestly kinda annoying. Don't get me wrong, I love the bat form, but not when they insist on using it to move two meters away all the time.

And also into locked rooms. Bats don't teleport. Only mist form should let you appear on the other side of a locked door. It has no holes big enough for the bat to fly through. It doesn't make much sense at all.

Someting has happened after the update; I cannot "Jog" anymore; my vampires just teleports 3-5 times from edge to edge of the map and then decide it's done.

Yep, I noticed that too, recently.

My human scientist wasted so much time just walking to all the collectibles instead of jogging. What happened to the jogging? She's not lazy; that's not one of her traits.

Turning into a bat/mist is a problem I've had since the beginning. I'm surprised they haven't done something about it yet.

Yeah I thought I imagined the whole thing, but it's a issue then. I hope they fix it, for now my vamps won't use bat/mist form, the animation takes too long for them to use every couple of seconds. But let me say that Vlad running around at super speed is the weirdest thing ever, I need this fixed asap :'(

If you want to see annoying, have a vampire read a toddler to sleep. Puts the toddler in the bed, stands up to fly straight up and down to pull out the book. :(

Or fly to the fridge, grab the food, fly to the counter, then to the stove :s yes! It gets into my nerves haha


Then it's definitely a bug, I hope they are aware of that and it can be fixed. I'm using the run for now, but I much prefer the bat form. I also play with autonomy off for selected sim and the issue is still happening, I can't really tell if super speed fixes it because this way it's less noticeable for me though. At least

I know this is old post but I just got the vampire pack and it still happens in my game. My vampire turn into bats to move like 2 steps away. This is problem exist since 2017? :/
