I got Vampires over the summer, and was eagerly waiting for my first vampire breakins to occur!So far, all that happens is someone knocks on the door late at night, and hangs around like any other visitor.If invited in, they come in, read books or chat or watch tv or whatever.If not invited in, they eventually leave.No biting... no feeding... nothing creepy at all (except it's late at night and they're randos)... The only reason I can tell they are vampires is that when I click on them the "Make vampire pun" social is available.Oh, and when I start a new save Vlad or another random individual calls to compliment my sims on their lovely neck.Is that it??? I'm kinda feeling let down

Yeah, this was one of those sad nerfs that happened when EA decided Twitter crybabies are who they should pander to. It was a beautiful pack back in the day. still very good but they child proofed it.

I bought Vampires when it first came out. I remember the first visit from one was to the home of a couple I was playing. They were sleeping and Vlad came in, compelled my sim and bit her until she passed out, then he left! I was surprised, but really enjoyed it! Started looking up how to protect them from visits, and she went looking in the lore so could make the garlic wreath. It was fun. But if I remember correctly, people complained about the vampire visits and it was toned way down. Unfortunately. They later added locking out vampires on the doors, so it would be nice if vampires visited more often now, or a toggle similar to werewolves so those who don't want them can have a choice and those of us who do can still have those visits more often.

Thank you so much for this information! The break-ins have always been one of the most fun things about the Vampires pack (and for me, it changed the game as a whole in a positive way) and I've been so bummed out that they don't happen anymore. I wish MCC had a setting for it, I like to use as few mods as possible and I know that Deaderpool always updates, so it's reliable. But I'll definitely check this one out.

It's so sad to see an occult pack be nerfed all because players who don't like occults... bought an occult pack and then complained about vampires. :|

Nowadays, if you aren't actively playing a vampire character, the pack might as well not be there for all the affect it has on your game play.

Most likely my mod combination but that mod stopped working to me some time ago,and I took it out. I need to give it a new try :)

I've never had a vampire break in. I thought it was because my sims are friends with them and they just show up for house visits late at night, but now I learn it's because my sims aren't asleep then. There is one vampire that likes to kick my garbage cans if I shoo him away when he turns up at my sims door.

Aha thank you @maggiemae8135 and others !
I would totally love it if this would happen in my game!
I guess I have to keep starting new saves till it happens though :/

hmm
If there is only the one vampire breakin, and then never again in that save, what is the point of garlic and making garlic wreaths? Since no other breakins to protect our sims against?

I wish they happen more often. I just like options. Having this happen I feel gives the game more variation. In my very first break in, literal years after buying the pack, I was feeling nostalgic and made Bob and Betty Newbie for a new save, and then Vlad broke in and fed off Betty. My game quickly turned into Betty Newbie: vampire slayer. It was a fun and unplanned twist.

If you have City Living, for some reason those apartments are only places I still get break ins. Worth for try , so you could see the thing :)

For me it's different for every save. I've had no bites for a long time. In another I've had my sim bitten by 3 different sims. And in another bitten by Vlad. And, she was good friends with Caleb who was visiting one day. He stayed all day and did a lot of dancing. he was getting more and more uncomfortable. She started dancing with him when all of a sudden they both stop and Caleb bites her. Let me tell you I was surprised because I've never seen a sim get bit while awake without my doing.

Im staying salty over the fact that vampires just dont break in anymore. I know I enjoyed it for the very few times it occurred in my game before it never happened again. If the team revisits refreshes and Vampires gets one, a toggle for vampire break ins would be loved. Everyone can adjust it to their preference, instead of it being basically removed despite some players actually liking it in their game.

Vampire break-ins can only occur when all of the sims in the household are asleep. Otherwise, every vampire that happen to visit will only knock on the door.

Unless you are in a dorm it seems, cause Vlad was creeping (he was moving in the sneak anmation) inside my sims dorm the other night and my sim was not sleeping, he ended up playing some chess with Vlad tho :)

If Vampires do still have a chance of breaking in, I wish they'd tune it to be after or around midnight, so most Sims are asleep by then. 10 or 11 is way too early. If not, I would love if they fed on Sims who were still awake. >:)

Maybe that's just me, but I don't go to bed before midnight. It just feels wrong, lol.

This! Plus awake pets seem to keep them away as well.
