Most of my live mode activities involve micro-managing sim's needs. I appreciate a lot of people find that tedious and choose the reward traits that make needs deplete more slowly, but I like, in fact need the need depletion to fit with my play style.
Having said that, I love vampires, and I especially love the sims 4 ones, but two things really irk me;
Firstly, vampiric energy only depletes by either sunlight (non-issue for me, all mine are immune) or doing vampire things - using powers etc. - it doesn't deplete throughout the day (or night) in the same way human energy does. Are you really telling me a vampire who woke up completely rested but hasn't used their powers for a while is still gonna be as fresh as a daisy after being on the go for 4 days straight? It's so annoying. I really wish they'd just get tired and go to bed like everyone else has to.
Secondly, their other needs, apart from thirst also deplete more slowly. The undead seem to also be the great unwashed but after 2 days without maintaining personal hygiene their bodily odour is still at socially acceptable levels.
In effect I end up with vampire sims I really love, but the need micro-managing is diminished, thus leaving me feeling a bit at a loss.
Sorry for the rant. I know they're only little things but they really bother me sometimes.
Can anyone relate?
To be honest I thought those things did deplete when I first got Vampires, but haven't played TS4 in months so maybe they tweaked it a bit more and changed the way these things deplete to an even slower level? It's possible because I did have to put my vamp to bed when I first played them. Though he never really needed a bath.
