Vampires and Doors

I think the no trespassing option maybe works to keep them away.

Hang garlic braid in front of the door.

I know there is a lot trait to prevent unwanted guests and the garlic works wonders.

There is a specific door option to dont allow vampires into your home. You dont need to lock the door. In fact, locking the door in this game is one of the worst things you could do, unless you have an isolated sim of course. Locking doors cause more problems and inconvenients than anything else. Mostly because the locking door mechanic is completely dumb and pointless.

I'm not sure whether this depends on what packs are installed (I have EPs & GPs but a couple), but I got the Vampire pack couple months ago, and no vampire has ever walked into any house uninvited. I was a bit worried when Vlad showed up st the Free Will Show house (a video series of mine where all contenders go by free will), but he only politely knocked on their door, waited outside for maybe an hour, and then left. I just recorded a new episode and he showed up again, he seemed to gain a certain contact with one of the contenders, but never entered the house and eventually he left. The door is not locked, and thee is no sign on the lot to keep him away (I assume that is what the no trespassing is about?).

There is a mod to keep vampires away.

Again, you dont need any mod lol. THERE IS AN OPTION when you click in the interact option of any door that keeps vampires out. And it works, it has always worked (must be one of the few things that actually work in this game) at least for me in the past two years.

And yes vampires and Vlad will show up (they have done so in every single sim household i play) but if you use that option, they cant enter your house. They will wait and leave.

Does it say specifically "lock out vampires" ?

It doesnt say "lock". It says "unauthorize" that it is, in the case of vampires, basically the same. But yes, it says "vampires".

Yes, it does.

I'll have to look very closely for that, because then I can not use any mods, as that was the only one I was using. Thanks
