It makes no sense to me that a vampire can't learn magic. That being a witch or a vampire are 2 different lifestates. Anyone should be able to learn magic.
Now I'm led to understand that there CAN be hybrids as in a child born to a witch and a vampire. But how the heck does that work out in terms of gameplay?
Darwin is a Warlock, Morgyn Ember's twin brother (evil ) remade with the same skills and male traits. His life mate is a vampire and his first child is a vampire. The vampire child has the glimmer stone and I am curious to see witch way this child leans to with having two occult parents.❤️
I agree, anyone should be able to learn magic. I would love to have some of my werewolves learn magic, Remus Lupin is one of them. And part of the reason why I play very few aliens is because they are blocked from all the other occult lifestates.
I think the reason why this is impossible is the sims 2. That game allowed hybrids to the extreme. The devs even made special servo versions for servo vampires. With two or three occults that's doable but at the end of the sims 2 the amount of possible combinations became too complex. You could have something like a zombie-plantsim-werewolf-wizard. That's why sims 3 and 4 don't allow it. You can of course cheat it or create one through a glitch with the dark leyline lot trait.
I understand that all combinations are impossible but magic should have been an exception because it partly feels like a skill.
I personally stay away from them because I am afraid to risk my long term save. If you can and want to use mods, there is one created especially for hybrids.
I have had Sims who were born hybrid witch vampires (twins). It didn't work correctly though. It was years ago, so I don't remember all the things wrong, but I know they had different needs, perk trees, etc. that didn't go together and there wasn't a magic meter. I was afraid that it would somehow mess up my game and ended up curing one of vampirism so she could be a spellcaster and the other of being a spellcaster so she could be a vampire. On the plus side, any child of a spellcaster, vampire or otherwise, still carries and passes on any spellcaster blood traits.
The game is so glitchy that I can't worry about my saves. I got back up and updated mods. That's all I can do if I want to update my game, I agree with you about traits and spellcasters. They need to fix this and make it work out for gameplay.
Hybrids need a place in this game.
Zero has a great vampire witch mod, I used it a couple years until the game got really buggy with for rent pre patch. They also have a moon caster mod so werewolves have spellcasting too. And more drinks for vampires is a must have for plasma in a glass. 🦹🦇
I might have to check this out, though I keep my mods real low in this version of the game. 🙂
I kept my mods to mccc and Zero's, I haven't ran with any mods since April though so I'm looking forward to popping those in after making sure Life and Death is stable. Happy simming! 🦹🦇🎉
Children should be able to learn from elders. I wanted to make a magic school with all my young witches in game. I have to wait for them to become teens and that's fine, the younger kids are more fun to play with in the game.
I love the food so much in this game and that's why I have more witches then vampires in my saves. In the end my hybirds will turn into witches if they cannot use the powers from both of their parents equally.
I love having my sim cook up food too, home chef hustle is great but kind of a waste in a vampire household without kids and I refuse to open my legacy family until the game is stable again.
