Can you drink from sims while they're mesmerized?

I got it thinking that was how it worked but no I can't. The Sim will look all loopy and dizzy but I can't drink from them. Bummer

What mesmerize does do, though, is give them a dazed moodlet after you dispel it which makes them more susceptible to being a snack.

A good question. I'd hope so -- it seems like that's a big reason WHY you'd want to mesmerize them in the first place. A 'forced' drink without a relationship hit. (Hopefully -- that's how I would think it would be used.)

Don't know yet myself though as I've been a little hesitant to take the Mesmerize power without knowing if it's useful too.

when Vlad came the third night into my sims home while she was asleep around 11 PM - 3 AM he sneaked around the bed, then used command wake up on my sim and dazed her afterwards. In that state he bit her and drank. So I assume this is how it will work for our own sim vamps as well!

Interesting... I couldn't seem to be able to bite mesmerized sims...

There are other ways to daze sims. With mesmerize, it's not until you dispel it that you get the big daze debuff. There's also a trait that allows you to do an area of effect cast of every emotion in the game. FWIW, the latter makes it easy to kill people. +8 of a few emotions puts them a couple of interactions away from an emotional death.

Influence emotions. There are three ranks. First rank gives +2 to the emotion, second +3, third +8.

edit: Mesmerized after dispelling it (that's an option on the pie menu after you have someone mesmerized) has a better dazed debuff as it's +10 (I believe the snack stays dazed for a little bit after the dispel but it's not the power I use so I could be mistaken). It is also far cheaper to get and much lower on the power list. That said, +8 is good enough, and there's the added benefit of being able to influence everyone's emotions. It made toddler training a snap, tbh.

The emotions stack with each other, so if you do happy then playful theyll be instantly hystetical
