I've started all over, removed my mod and everything, all looks good until I try to have my vampire do some dark meditation. However, all he does is waving his arm and shrug, as if something was blocking his way. Is this a new feature or something? Not sure how that's gonna help, though.

Same here. I started a clean save after the patch, no mods or cc in the game at all and made a new vampire. She also has influence emotions in her vampire menu when she is outside only. She doesn't have the ability but when clicked she gets the question mark above her head like she does when trying to meditate.

Uh oh... Doesn't sound good. Why are vampires constantly breaking? I actually have a mod that only allows me to use dark.meditation once ever 24 hours because it seemed too overpowered, but not at all isn't good.

The 18 June patch includes some changes for upcoming stuff in Island Living, but they seem to have broke some things with Dark Meditation and Influence Emotions.If you're not opposed to using mods, I found out what was causing the issues and created a fix for them: Vampire Interactions Fixes. It should let you play normally again until an official patch is released.

Vampires can't use dark meditation anymore?

Same thing with the Influence Emotions. You can't do it inside a building anymore it seems, and when you are outside the Sim just gets the question mark thought bubble, as if they don't know what to do. I know the latest patch supposedly fixed and changed some Vampire stuff, but they've obviously messed other stuff up.

Exactly those 2 don't work for me either. So thanks, I'll definitely have a look at your mod tomorrow!
