Is there a way to replace the “tutorial” vampire?

I don't know about a trait. Have you deleted him and seen what happens? (I like him, so I haven't tried that.)

Hi!
There is a hidden trait that looks like that: trait_IntroToVampire_Caller

You can add it to your sim and delete it from vlad with cheats. That should work… in theory.

That is pretty cool. I did not know that.

Thank you @aspern I’ve taken your advice!

Now I need to figure out a way to see if it’s worked. Anyone know how to make one of Vlad’s usual scripted messages pop up after turning your first vampire sim in a save?

@kalaksed I love that idea. I like the idea of creating little communities. I don’t have MCCC because I use console, but does “Show Sim Info” display hidden traits? If so that’s a game changer and I’ll have to try it!

I like Vlad until he gets weird and says you have a lovely neck. Or just stalks your sims at their house.?

On a side note: I would like it if that vampire caller came reliably on each new save, typically the end of the second day the vampire texts about your neck, but if you are bouncing between households the text is likely to be never seen and the vampires don't trigger into action. So it would be nice no matter what household you jump into that the vampire caller sticks to you like glue until the text is put on the screen and the vampires trigger into action.

The showsiminfo mod is amazing and I use it very often, I just thought the OP wanted a specific answer and I had the game opened at the time.

Same for the thread about hidden traits, lots of helpful info there, for console players especially, I think. I used one of the old posts by kalaksed that explains how to make custom magic sages, because I accidentally killed two of the original ones and wanted to “restore the balance” and put them back XD so thank you very-very much @kalaksed

As for the test part, I believe the only way to see if the cheat worked is to start a new save because the mini vampire tutorial is a one-time event in the beginning of every new game.

you can upload to the gallery on the console, right? i know it sounds kinda weird, but if you like you can upload sims you want checked (or changed) and i can check/change their traits. though that may sometimes take some time, since not always around my computer

Thanks for the offer @kalaksed but I won’t bother you with all that! I’m going to make another vampire and try to get it to work. I’m realising now how pointless this was because I’m not getting any more Vlad tutorial messages anyway lol

I’ll let you know if it works!
