I heard that they used to break in a lot. I just got my vampire pack a week ago and there is no break in at all. My sims live alone and i tried to make her sleep before 12AM. Any suggestion to make the break in happen? I'm very curious.

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of the break-ins (also, the option doesn't even work for me, I always just get an error message, might need to get a newer version of the mod or smth).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.

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).

Vampires don't break in anymore?

I've seen vampires lurking on the porch in the night, and if I let them in, all they do is go play on the computer. :/

I've seen 2 actually break in over the past year. Vlad once and he actually did have a snack on my sim. (I really do wish this would happen a little more, it's part of why I bought the pack...) The other was a vampire townie and she just broke in and took out the trash and left. :D

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.

Not true, sorry to say this, other vampires do this aswell. :)

This picture is from march the 2nd March 2020. His name is Dirk Lambertz, Vlad still exists in my game. the character was bitten twice from two different vampires, unwanted.

I haven't had a vampire break in in over a year. It's ridiculous to me that I paid for VAMPIRES only for vampires to be nerfed because the reality club couldn't handle paying for VAMPIRES.

And yet, people keep crying for burglars...

Honestly this "logic" of buying an occult pack knowing you dont like occults and then getting mad when said occults are doing occult things baffles me to no end. If a player doesnt like occults okay then. But I, as well as you and many other players actually enjoy occults doing occult things in the occult packs we buy. And I personally dont appreciate it when occults end up getting nerfed and dont act to their fullest potential. I cant remember the last time a vampire broke in. I'd love it if my spellcasters automatically use their wands to make dinner instead of going to the stove. I want burglars too, but I have a feeling that they too will end up getting nerfed so they never appear or never steal anything worth over $100.

Is it the reality club or the 'we want the game to be safe for our 8 year olds' club?

As for the burglars, I don't expect them to be added at this late point. If one doesn't like them the defense is easy, build/modify one's house to provide a vestibule & add the alarm. The vestibule will keep the thief from getting to anything before the cops come as they come quickly and the thief wastes time gloating and looking around.

Or maybe she just did it because all the members of her household are vampires :D

But yes, they've become rare. Although I must say that I play almost exclusively with vampire households. But these also have break-ins, as my pic proves ;) .

They shouldn't have nerfed them, they should just have an enable/disable vampire break ins option. I usually play more realistic games where constant vampire breakins would be annoying, but sometimes I go for an occult generation (why I bought the vamp pack), where I'd like for the full features of the pack being available.

It's so selfish ????? there is a lot of things I don't like but I never complained for it to be taken away from people who might enjoy it. I'll never get over the nerfed vampires. ?

Did they really tone it down??? Ew that’s awful! Way to ruin a good thing. Let’s complain so much that we tone down everything. If there was people annoyed by the break in why follow some game rules and put garlic up or don’t buy the pack OR go to manage world evict and delete your vampires and just use the other content. Hey the sun in the games to bright can we do something about that... (sarcasm) #annoyed
