Well if this power only works on higher ranked vampires like some here are suggesting, then why is this power unlocked in the lower tiers? This does not make a lot of sense. Maybe the bug is that after the animation and FX effect the walls need to come down, as if you are actually on a playable lot, if this is the case then maybe the team was planning on creating the first steps of making the game open world? I mean I remember from one of the older sims games, that there was a mod out that would allow to see inside ALL houses, not only the played sim home. Which made it possible to actually see what the home owners are up to. But in this case the dropping of the walls does not work as it was intended, instead you have to leave the lot and come back. I did this on Vlad's house when I did not live there yet and it apparently did not work. However I also did not knock at the door. I left the lot and later when I came back the walls where down and it acted like a playable household! So maybe the bug is in the loading screen thing. Maybe the refresh does not work and your sim HAS to leave and come back?
