Umm why would you buy a pack revolved around vampires if you don't want vampires in the game?

That's not a valid argument. My boyfriend plays the sims too and he wants vampires so we got the pack. I hate vampires but am now stuck with them in my game. A toggle would have been great. Hoping the MC Command Centre adds this option as they did with aliens.

That's definitely not a valid argument as you are not supposed to share accounts. You should each have your own account and own purchase. It is against the rules to share accounts. I have 31 different people in my family that owns all the Sims games and each one of them has their own games and own accounts including the youngest who is now 12. Her mother has the game on her own pc, as does she. In my oldest sons house their are 7 players each with their own games, pcs, and accounts.

We have one computer so share the one game with different saves. One can hardly expect a family to buy a different computer for each player to play one game. Like saying that everyone should have their own PS4 to play Grand Theft Auto.

Anyway that's besides the point. It would just be nice to have more options to play as each player wants without being completely excluded from buying a pack.

You can have one computer but sharing accounts isn't acceptable to the company so you need to buy your own sims games and play them in your account. Not use the same account to play the same game. My nieces have their own copies of the game. They also have their own accounts I don't share accounts with anyone.

Exactly. I know many people who share pcs but have their own games and accounts.



This from EA itself:

From EA_Kristi - Community Manager of Electronic Arts:

"You cannot share the games on your account with a friend or family.



Account sharing is against the Terms of Service and can lead to compromised accounts."

I wouldn't mind a vampire randomly drinking from my sim because It gives me a full vampire experience in TS4's sight.

That is a valid argument and if you bought it to please someone then that is your business if you don't like vampires. A toggle might make the vampires less then they are that isn't acceptable to me. I bought the pack because I wanted vampires.

It won't change anything for you if you don't click on the toggle.
And a toggle won't change vampire too, it will just stop the game to create new one, even if you click on the toggle, the vampire you already have in your game will continue to live their lives and break into your sims house to feed.
Honestly, what you are writing make me feel like you didn't understand the toggle stuff :/
When we ask for a toggle, we ask for an option in the gameplay something like "autonomous generated vampire townie on/off", we don't ask the dev to do the same thing that they has done with alien (not at all, i didn't like it, way to hard to get abducted now, even harder to end up pregnant). Like that it's up to the player to decide, and you don't change anything to the game if you don't change the option.
Off course if they do the same kind of toggle that they have done with alien i'm totally against, i want the choice to turn on or off the autonomous vampire generation, not the vampire themselves.

BUT the point is the devs that made this game said they could not do that for this game. They explained it is not Sims 3 or even a Supernatural pack that was made for a variety of Supernaturals - The Sims 4 Vampire pack was totally designed from the ground up about and for Vampires - and many parts of the game intersect with the vampires. In Sims 3 there is not the same connection - as the supernatural was just another sim with extra abilities ADDED to the game - in Sims 4 Vamps the Vampires came first with all else added to work with the Vamps and the programming for them. It is why they said they went with a GP and not an ep as the eps have to work with everything else - but the GP is all about the main subject - and in this case it is the Vampires.

Keep in mind Sims 3 was the only sims game ever to have toggles - because it was possible in that Sims game to turn some things off and on - and even that still had it's limits - if you recall you could not shut off those things completely - you could have less of the ones the game produced but not eliminate them completely anyway - but that will not work in Sims 4 Vamps because the gp is first and foremost about the Vamps - every thing else is secondary but made to work with the Vamps.

The devs have posted this info - it is not like we pulled it out of our hats.

Deleted. The thing I wanted to say was already pointed out.

That was news to me. I guessed that it perhaps would be to cumbersome but not that it was not doable. Is this in the tech-thread?

I still rather have all the supernaturals than none, just wish I could get more control over the game. Oh well, can't have it all I guess.

It was in a thread link from twitter from the head guru of that pack. He also repeated that in one of the threads here.

So is there any info about how much vampire the game need if we play with them ?
I know that if you have enough sims in your world as unplayed household the game will slow down on creating townie. Is there something similar for vampire in what the guru have stated ?
Edit: I've found out by reading SimsGuruNinja's post that the vampire i create will not be used as townie vampire, and the one who are create should be deleted quickly. I must try to repair my game because my game seems to forget to deleted them, and keep them until i delete them. Might be a bug in fact.

Not that I can see - but then they seem to indicate that the game does not generate any townie Vampires - so I wonder if something else in your game is causing that to happen. I know myself I have not had a single vampire generated by the game. The Guru's said the game will randomly pick sims to generate to fill positions needed in the game from walk bys to what ever is needed and it will generate what the Guru said was Faux vampire or vampire wanna bes but they have no vamp abilities just look and dress the part. Well that is all I have seen and very few of those. They look gothic but aren't vamps.

If you send your Sims to Forgotten Hollow, the game will generate additional vampires. And you should generally be wary of any strange Sims that show up on the front porch after 5 pm or so -- they may be vampires. But they won't come in if you don't interact with them.

Well, i really must repair my game then :D
I moved one of my vamps in Willow creek, and something like four night after i wanted her to feed, but i can't because the game said he was a vampire. I can still see him 2 weeks later in well in the place most townie end up. I deleted him, and notice that other vampire were here too.
I'm going to repair my game and see if some of them stay.
