I would say "no" but I don't necessarily need them to get along (at least not in a happy happy joy joy kind of way). However, I would prefer that their interactions begin neutral (as in no particular like or dislike for each other) because I want to be able to make my own rivalries in any way that I, my own story-maker, see fit. If it were to be done similarly to the Werewolves pack, that would be another automatic pass for me on buying another pack.
One plus so far with the werewolf pack, that insta-hate with the vampires has been really easy to overcome. Just a couple of minutes and I've been able to get things where I want them.
With that said I much prefer to have everything start off in the middle. I want my relationships to be like real life, all over the place. Some good, some bad, and everything in between. If all relationships start completely neutral I don't have to spend as much time trying to turn a deeply negative one, into besties for life if that's how I see their relationship as it fits into my story. I can spend that extra time elsewhere in my story.
Well said. I understand that the werewolf/vampire thing can be pretty easily overcome, at least in individual cases. But as you said, I'd much rather spend my time creating my stories instead of spamming (often uncharacteristic and meaningless to my sims) friendly interactions just to get to a point in the middle. I want to watch rivalries or friendships actually develop over time, and for reasons that make sense for the individuals at the time. I play a lot of sims, and I simply don't have the energy to spend that much time just to get them all to the point of being able to do that. :lol:
I don't mean to derail the thread topic into one about werewolves and vampires; it was just the first example that came to my mind. :)
