Spellcaster Mixes questions

I think it was mentioned years ago that the game doesn't really allow for hybrids like TS2 did. Example: Vampires and Spellcasters use the same "code" (or area) for their special skills so having one state would make the other one not viable.

It might also be too difficult or time consuming to code for all pre-existing occult states in packs that not everyone may have. I dunno, I'm not a programmer.

Unfortunately, the game developers forgot to include hybrid genetics. So, what I do is use the cheat codes. Ctrl Shift C Testingcheats On Enter Testingcheats True

I give some of my Sims all four Occults with the proper order:

1. Traits.Equip_Trait Trait_OccultVampire
Stats.Set_Stat RankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593
Press Enter Arrow Up to repeat for the Vampire Perks, then select the Strengths & Weaknesses.

2. Traits.Equip_Trait Trait_OccultAlien

3. Traits.Equip_Trait Trait_Occult_WitchOccult_BloodlineAncient
Stats.Set_Stat RankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 2850
Press Enter Arrow Up to repeat for the Magic Perks, then select your desire Magic Powers.

4. Traits.Equip_Trait Trait_OccultMermaid.

And that is how you get a Quad Hybrid.

You can also just have two or three Occult traits in your sim.

These cheat codes aren't mods or mccs.

Yeah, the devs really didn't make room for hybrid Occults, unfortunately, and when people do get hybrids, they tend to be very buggy because the game isn't designed for them. It's too bad because I'd love to be able to play around with Occult genetics.

Just a note about cheating hybrids, because the UI interactions overlap, you may need to cheat vampire perks or spellcaster perks, and anything that has an alternate form will likely be glitched. The only mod-less "safe" hybrids are Alien-Spellcasters, because Aliens don't have any UI changes and Spellcasters don't have an alternate form.

I believe that a patch or two back they did something to prevent accidental hybrids, because the coding doesn't support it.

I have a vampire-spellcaster hybrid and i have no issues.

The only issues I've had with my Quad Hybrids was with my sim having a bath & her legs would look weird & disappear after her bath.
(invisible from the waist down) lol. So now I just make sure that my Quad Hybrid only has showers.

I have a natural born hybrid, father is a vampire, mother is spellcaster. I wanted the kid to be a spellcaster but the bat flew up at birth. I had saved it just before delivery so I hept going out and back in without saving until I got what I wanted. Well after 12 tries I decided I had no choice but to go with the vampire and figure out some other thing to do about it when she aged up. Well, when she aged up she was identified as a spellcaster even though she was born a vampire.

Are you able to access both sets of perks? Because that was my understanding - that one set of perks or the other is not accessable and needs to be cheated in.

Okay I'll do that then. The mer spell has the spell image, but in CAS has nothing above her traits. It's weird. Gonna wait to see what's up with her.
But I want my alien hybrid.

Wait can you add a trait AlienHybrid?

Does that mean I need to add trait Alien, or have it say Alien Hybrid?
