Vampires don't break in anymore?

If you have city living move into an apartment. The vampires im game were always breaking in, that was kind of annoying. Outside the first neighbor who is knocking on your door during the night is also a vampire.

Sadly, vampire break-ins were gutted almost into oblivion because people who didn't even want vampires in their games and bought the pack anyway complained to the developers enough for them to tone them down so much that they rarely happen anymore :( If you have MCCC, you can trigger a vampire break-in at the mailbox, but I know that this kinda goes against the "surprise" aspect of the break-ins (also, the option doesn't even work for me, I always just get an error message, might need to get a newer version of the mod or smth).

Now that you mention it... I can't say I remember a break-in happening in quite some time. I have noticed them standing on the porch during the night and lurking there until morning. But, they don't break in.
I mean, it's nice when you don't want them to, but I'm sure it would be annoying if that's what you were hoping/waiting for.

My vampires are boring. They used to break in sometimes but sadly I think they possibly got stealth nerfed. I haven't had a single break in for at least a year or so now. I do occasionally see them loitering on door steps waiting for an invite in like some kind of lost puppy though. It's sad that they don't break in anymore, I miss it.

In regard to the vampires on the porch, none of the premades have the power for breaking in, at least in my games. Any time I've had a breakin has been a townie vamp. Those tend to get the break in power and are sometimes immune to garlic. But I plant garlic farms out front anyway.

In mine, both, all premades, and added/custom-made have done it, but very rarely at regular house, as someone mentioned already, in CL apartments, they visit pretty often. (PLEASE , peeps, do not tell the devs, I really do not want that to be toned down too).

Thanks guys! It’s so sad to hear that they tuned it down. Devs have to understand that not 100% of simmers hate the break in, occult lovers pay for the game too! The ability to toggle break in on and off should be added :'(

I'm not always into the occult, but I miss this surprise from vamps, especially the pre-made vamps. I hope beyond hope they'll remove some of the nerf someday.

Oddly enough I didn’t have any for a long time until I had a single sim living in an apartment. She had two breakins. Maybe three but definitely two. I was like whoa because it had been so long.

The only one I ever had wasn't really an actual break in. My sim was seeing him and gave him a key, it was wierd though. He wad just gone home and she was in her room about to go to bed. All of a sudden he was behind her, tapped her on her sholder and when she turnned around he bit her. Then he laughed and left again. Nothing like that has happened since.

My latest game has corrected me! New family, so no ripe garllic for harvesting in any of the usual places. Vlad just came on in and chowed down on one of my sims while she was sleeping. Know that only by the sim evidence, as there were none of the usual preliminaries. Front and back doors were locked, but discovered during the investigation the house has 3. Couldn't find him at first, so saved game and then went to his place. That showed he was still at the scene of the crime so went there and checked. He still does not have either garlic immunity nor the ability to get past locked doors. Finally found him by the front door and very pleased with himself, too. Went back to victim family and via the victim's mate used MCC to conduct an executive action. Used death by sun though it was the very wee hours of the morning. Fried the slimeball right there on the porch. Grimmy came soon thereafter, cleaned house, and stuck around a while so my sims chatted him up a bit. Found out he's vegetarian, loves the outdoors, and his official job title is Reaper of Souls.

Needless to say, the garlic plantation will be in place ASAP!

Nope, Vlad is the only vampire that breaks in now, and he only does it the once. Normally right after he introduces himself in the middle of the night he'll break in the following night. They stopped the break ins for all others because some people were whining so, no need to plant garlic unless you just really like fresh spaghetti. I haven't had a vamp break in since before October 2019.
