I'm really disappointed in TS4 & TS team right now. I got TS4 when it first came out and I own ALL THE PACKS. I've been a huge The Sims fan but this is just wrong..Vampires being nerfed behind everyones back(no sign of it in patch notes etc) is just low..(If you aren't familiar with this subject let me explain: vampires can't break in anymore)I know some of the people didn't like that feature BUT there are always people who will dislike features just like there are those who love them.Even the Vampires trailer shows us that vampires can break into our houses. But now they can't? Excuse me? Can I get my money back because this is false advertising!I'm just done. I'm not gonna buy any new DLC until this is fixed! I hope that other people are doing the same.

They definitely should've informed us of the change at the very least. It is pretty disappointing to see the break-ins nerfed. I'm wondering where the supposed event feedback came from because I feel like I haven't seen that sort of talk on the forums much, if at all. I have to admit this change makes VERY little sense to me.

@littlemissgogo I totally agree with you. I have no words to describe how disappointed I am to this situation atm.This totally came out of the blue to all of us. I've been TS fan for 13 years, I know it hasn't always been a smooth route with this franchise but this is just low. Doing this without letting us know in patch notes or anywhere else is just wrong in so many levels..

@ItsJanier Simguruninja is currently trying to get feedback and work with us for a solution in the original thread where we learnt this. If anyone is interested here is the link.

@BeJaWa Yeah I saw that too! Thank you for the link so everyone who sees my post here on feedback section can find it.@meerkattime I totally agree with you. Vampires GP is my favourite GP because the vampires that we got are totally vampires!(Edited because of my spelling errors that I make all the time thanks to dyslexia)

It was nerfed. You'll still get vamp visitors, but the break-ins w/ a bite shouldn't occur. We had lots of feedback given to us on this specific event.

You were saying? :p (luth mentioned that link from another post in her post that you didn't bother to read, apparently...)

And yet many people are having no vampire's breaking in, so something's been done, even if they claim it hasn't.

I only wanted it fixed for breaking into community lots. That still happens almost every time I have a Sim staying out late at night. They couldn't just make that go away at least?

The more they interact, the higher chance they have. If they don't interact, it will reduce the chances. It's not supposed to happen every other day. It's a once in a while thing.

And that's the way it should be.

Interacting with supernaturals should trigger supernatural stuff in your save.

Not interacting with supernaturals should keep your save relatively free of anything linked to them.

It's simple. And if it works then I don't see why people are so outraged. Not the first time they sneakily patched in something game breaking (culling, anyone?)

Ssh, don't mention that... They're convinced it's alright.

Because it doesn't work... People with excellent relations with vampires are not seeing them break in at all, but they keep turning up and screwing up people leaving community lots.

The fact you are complaining about vampires not being like they were I find hilarious since most of you didn't even want that pack because it had vampires in it.

What are you even talking about? In a recent poll here on the forums it got rated higher than Cats and dogs which is an EXPANSION!! You seem to be just arguing to argue which is confusing since there are hundreds of other threads you can participate in......

Vlad broke in and bit my sim last night after she went to the library that afternoon and studied vampire lore on the computer and read one of the tomes.

ETA: this is a news save I created after the hub bub just to see if it still works. So far as I can tell it does.

I had a love hate relationship with the vampire break ins. It was unpredictable and kind of exciting but also annoying because sometimes I couldn't stop them from turning my poor sim.

My thing is, why not put burglars in the game and make THEM break in at night?? That sounds a little more logical

They do not turn sims, or at least should not. they just bite giving an uncomfortable moodlet. :)
I agree buglers would also be great.

you actually liked the fact that vampires could break into your home. many of us hated it. i think a better soultion though should have been to make it be an option on if you want vampires to break into your house because i think its better to not have it then to have it. as what are the people who dont like it supposed to do it ruins the game for us and then makes uninstall the pack in order to not have vampires attacking.
