I got the Vampires game pack a few months ago and I've noticed that there are no vampires who break into people's houses ever. They just come onto the sims' lots like normal sims. How come? And could they possibly break in again?

I also don’t want to have to pick and choose which packs/features I get to use, they should all work together. I’m trying to get a story going without cheating but I don’t think it’s going to work. My spellcaster will either have to purposefully go seek out and visit a vampire, or give up her black cat familiar. I don’t understand buying a pack titled Vampires if you don’t want them in your game and then basically ruining the pack for everyone who actually wanted vampires. I feel like if the nerf features we paid for we should get some of our purchase price back. I paid $20.00+ USD and now I rarely get vampires so I feel I should get like $10.00 back.A lot players just want the build/cas items. That's why. They may not mind the other features that come with the game as long as it doesn't interfere too much with their style of game playing. That's not hard to figure out. For ex. I don't care about some knitting, but I may consider the new stuff pack anyway if I like hair styles or other cas/build stuff and/or maybe get the pack for a discount.It is not interfering at all, it is just a removed feature at this point.Really, what is the use of occult-packs if muggles just nerf them into oblivion.It turns into glorified B/B-packs, with gameplay slowly chipped away.I really really don't like players who cannot be bothered to use lot-traits for residential home that keep vamps away and instead are happy that all gameplay of the original pack is gone.Edit: Can't they just make it a lot more likely that you get attacked if you read the lore....something.... :'(

When nerfing the break-ins they basically made the garlic thing useless. How we could have our sims learn to make wreaths and stuff to put around the door that would then stop the break-in vampire from drinking from you (unless they had the garlic perk). That is gone too, there is no point leaning how to make then nor having the wreaths at all. I do think that the garlic thing was a way to appease the non occult players, they could use it to not have vampires drink from the sims. Guess it didn't work.The saddest part of the occult scene in TS4 is how, like others have stated, they don't feel like occult at all except the one that you play (and maybe not really even then sometimes). They don't use their powers on their own. Vampires don't even understand they should stay out of the sun on their own. Can't even tell how many times I've had to save my own vampires from other played households in a save by quickly adding them to a group and use "go here" inside because they will be standing burning at the spice market or at the edge of a restaurant lot etc, just chilling to death.

I've not had any in a long while and if I do,it's like maybe once. I use MCCC and sometimes cheat to force a break in

Yeah, I haven't seen a legit break in with feeding in forever. I'm a little salty about it, not gonna lie. When the pack first came out it was awesome. Good times back then. :'(

Nope the anti occult players complained about it and then it got nerfed. Sorry. But it still exists in the game maybe 0.5% chance that it will happen in the night

It does still happen, but it's so so rare. I bought the vampire pack around this time last year and I play a couple of times a week (more lately because of lock downs) and I only JUST saw this happen in my game about a month ago. (And then, not since then). It's really disappointing. I bought the pack knowing full well there would be vampires and hoping this would be the case, I have no idea why it was nerfed to nearly never just because people bought a VAMPIRE pack and didn't want the vampires....

Now that they have locks on doors and you can actually select to lock out vampires specifically, they can hopefully turn this feature back up.

Wow that's weird after the Eco pack I started getting a lot of break-ins. I was in new saves though so maybe that had something to do with it. Then I switched to the new door restriction for families I didn't want to have break-ins (although I did have one weird incompleted break in with the restriction on once). The vampire got in and mesmerized a sim (roomate) but just kind of wandered around and never bit him. Then eventually left.

Not gonna happen. ? I had fun while it lasted. I use to run around putting garlic everywhere and it was exciting. Now they say hi and keep it moving. I swear they nerfed celebrities too. The people use to go wild for me and that was exciting. Now they barely notice me and I'm a global super star. borrrrrriinngggg.?
They notice me so little I don't even go out in disguise

I saw Vlad breaking in on a let's play video after Eco Lifestyle was released.
I remember it because he was wearing a bag on his head and it was hilarious.
I personally haven't had vampires breaking in for a while and I miss them.

I’m upset about this as well, even trying to force it doesn’t work (without cheating/mods). I just had my Sim (a spellcaster) max vampire lore, meet several vampires, talk about them a bunch.. nothing. I did have a teen vampire (the daughter of one of mine) knock at the door around 1am, she stood there for an hour then left. Honestly, the save I have where I focus solely on occult’s is becoming so forced and boring. Mermaids don’t want to ever admit it (um I can see your tail), alien abductions are incredibly rare, and the vampires are “broken”. The one time Vlad broke in recently he just emptied my trash, loaded the dishwasher, played with some clay, then left. I used the club system to make vampire covens, and they don’t even show up when I send another Sim to their hangout.. so even my “cheat” isn’t working.

Jupp, no scary vampires in my save either. I am so disappointed about it :'(

It is like they have real difficulties getting frequency for stuff right. When the pack came out some players had vampire-break ins nightly and came to yell on the forum. Cue mega-nerf.

Now N.A.P.s are completely too spammy, wait a bit and they will go extinct too.

How about just.... not going overboard in the beginning with a new feature.

Please turn the vampires back on again!!! Pretty please!!

I modded risky vampirism into my save so that each break-in could vary the risk of my sim turning into a vampire. I was ready to play my sim as a vampire but I did to be out of my hands as to when. It was very easy, after the first visit from Vladimir it never happened again.

I miss break-ins, they added a scary element onto the Sims 4. Those are few and far between. It is so irritating not knowing when a random patch just obliterates something that you truly enjoy in the game.
