Hissing Mama

I like this weakness so much so I feel like I should explain why.

Use it as a mandatory weakness on all my evil vampires. I like it that there are something that makes it more difficult for them to have happy relationships with regular sims, they should be feared. All my vampires, good or bad are mostly left on their own, my current main households in rotation have no vampires in them.

Being able to adjust the vampires myself, if they should be disliked or not is really great. Hope we will see more things like this with future supernaturals.

It's a good point. It all depends on the way you play. :+1: I adore the 'pretend to bite' mischief interaction. I spam this like crazy lol. and then my vamp does bite them. >:)

The really good thing about this vamp pack is that there are many way to customize your vamp, if you don't like the hissing then choose another weakness. If you don't like the level 1 tier weaknesses then save up your points and rank your vamp up and choose a level 2 weakness etc

I don't have this pack yet, I'm traveling abroad and can only watch lets plays. I've seen vampires without this weakness hissing, and it annoys me so much! Is this a bug that every vampire hisses as an idle animation, was this fixed? If this is intended it will make me like vampires less...

I've never even thought about giving my sims that weakness. It just sounds too annoying, but now I'm curious: does it actually have a negative effect on relationships even with other vampires? That wouldn't make much sense.

It seems to. Vlad has it and 2 of his 3 vampire toddlers don't like him. It doesn't stop them from dancing and playing together (except when he smashes their dollhouse). Every time he hisses their relationship deteriorates.
My other vampire doesn't have the trait, and she rarely hisses. Some people don't like her because she's not terribly discreet when it comes to biting necks.

I'm not sure, but I think there may be some kind of glitch with some of the vampire animations. I say that because I have a vampire who does not have either the Withered Stomach nor the Uncontrollable Hissing weaknesses, and at times it does seem that she either hisses or clutches her stomach then looks like she's trying to avoid throwing up. She does have the Eternal Sadness weakness, and I've noted that these other animations do seem to occur more often when her sadness moodlet comes up.

It's pretty inconsistent though, so I haven't really been sure if I should report it as a bug or not.

This mod might be worth a try. I haven't used it but I plan too. It takes away the relationship negative from the hissing.

I thought this weakness would only cause the vampire sim to feel embarrassed before Vampires GP was released.
I was like "it's a must-have weakness since it won't make your vampire die."
But after I actually played I really regret having chosen this weakness.
Now I just keep my vampire mother away from her toddlers until they grow up. :D

Well dang... I started a new thread about this.. because I haven't played with vampires in quite a while and not since toddlers came out. I noticed right away that my toddlers didn't like when mama was hissing. How so very sad for them. It isn't right the family wouldn't like them for that, especially since their are vampires themselves. Definitely game breaking if you enjoy playing vampire families.
