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 Center adds this option as they did with aliens.

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.

All a toggle would do would be to stop the game from generating vampires if you have it selected -- players could create their own vampires if they wanted to add some, or just deal with the three existing ones however they wish. It would have no effect on your game if you chose to leave vampires on. Or they could "nerf" the vampires the way they did with alien abduction. I would think with that choice, adding the toggle would be preferable.

I don't want a toggle a toggle to prevent them is don't buy the pack. I can't help if people hate vampires and buy it to please other people they live with. Thats not my problem.

Hmm...

I could use a toggle and I love playing supernaturals. I just might not want to use all of them in each and every save.


I wish we had more control over what kind of townies that are generated by the game. I had save in which I tried to play out the story of a scientist getting trapped in a timewarp-freezer and waking up many many years later. All normal sims had died and now the town only had aliens in it. I made so many alien households for that game. It was fun! Then the game kept spitting out normal sims, and I had to go and delete them all the time because there can be only one. My sim was supposed to be the only regular sim. In the end I just deleted that save because I got too irritated while playing.

• If I can get the game to only generate aliens and vamps, that would be great!
  
• If I can get the game to not generate aliens or vamps, that would be great!
  

The sims that are in our saves means a lot to the story. If I could influence it I could be more creative. Or that is how I feel about it.

I <3 supernaturals, but perhaps not all of them in every save.

No one is suggesting that it is your problem. People are just saying that an option to disable them would be good. I'm not the only one with multiple players in one household and multiple playing styles. Therefore saying don't buy Vampires if you don't want them is not a reasonable argument.
Fair enough that you like them and like playing with them - lucky you.
I don't understand how if MC Command Centre can turn off aliens, the sims creators can't.

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.

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.

I think you're the one who doesn't undersrtand the toggle, no offense intended at all.

Vampires are completely intergrated into the game like never seen before. The new world cannot function without vampires, it is specifically designed to spawn them.

Vampires are coded to generate if Vlad dies or is removed to fulfill his role, there are also break ins etc.

The way its designed is if you dont want vampires, dont interact with them. That means delete the premades, dont visit forgotten hollow, dont talk to vampires, dont study vampire lore.

You will still see a vampire here and there at night, but they should RARELY break into your house, and far less will be generated. If you interact with vampires it shows youre interested.

If you want absolutely zero vamps then people need to not purchase.

This isnt going to change, as pointed out by a guru. The guru himself stated it would cause alot of issues as vamps are deep into the code.

I feel like a pack toggle like sims 3 got in the end would satisfy alot more people. Play with vamps when you want and disable when you dont

Arg. i would rather have this kind of toggle, then, i will rely on MC CC to stop autonomous townie generation (By the way, anyone knows how many vampire the games need ? if i could replace them with my own vampire it would be better).
Annd i don't want the kind of toggle they have made with the aliens, so no toggle for me.

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.
