Vampire - spellcaster hybrids possible?!

I also have a vampire/spellcaster hybrid through the dark ley line.

When he became a teenager, I got the notice that he is now a spellcaster and a vampire. He has got vampire needs, but can only level up magic but not vampire skills.



He can cast spells and brew potions.

I may need to experiment with this. I have spellcaster, vampire, and mer dynasties so perhaps I can see what happens if the different groups intermingle.

The bloodline trait is not exclusive to spellcasters. Sims get this if their parent is a spellcasters but they don't have to be a spellcaster themself. I have had mixed couples of spellcasters and normal sims and spellcasters married to werewolves. The bloodline trait always show up all children of spellcasters born in the game no matter what the occult type of the child is.

The way it works is that offspring of a spellcasters gets a better bloodline. A spellcaster without a bloodline has children with a weak bloodline. A spellcaster with weak bloodline will have children with the strong bloodline. A strong bloodline spellcasters gives children with the ancient bloodline. If a sim with a bloodline who is not a spellcaster has a child it get a lower level of bloodline. What matters is their occult state at the time of giving birth. So if you have a non-spellcasters with a weak bloodline you can turn them into a spellcaster through gameplay they will produce offspring with a strong bloodline. If you turn a spellcaster into a normal Sim and they have a child their child will have a lower level bloodline.
This only applies to babies born in the game, not children created in CAS.

It would be awesome do be able to have a vampire/spellcaster hybrid that could have all skills and spells for both occults. It's such a shame that you can't! Think of the awesomeness!

I have had hybrids happen a few times, but I always end picking which thing they will be and curing the other. Things often don't work right because hybrids aren't supposed to be a thing. But as was pointed out above, they can still have a bloodline trait and pass it on, even if they are a vampire.

I actually forgot to try this. I may have to experiment with sims designed specifically for the purpose.
