Vampires no longer breaking in

I had one yesterday, in a save_as copy of my rotational save. Then the Phillips family I played in spring had break-ins all the time, they were also a save_as copy of my rotational save. I do not know why none happen in the original save, but since this one is suposed to be more alien- and robot-centric I'm perfectly fine with the arrangement.

As usual the family players screamed their head off until it got removed because we can't possibly have any gameplay that isn't specifically for them and for some reason they decided to buy a pack around vampires despite hating vampires.

It's been nerfed I'm afraid, mainly because the "realistic" players complained enough times that the feature was downed to a 0.05% chance of occurring after the first scripted break-in. It was fun while it lasted though, now vampires are just immortal human sims. I want my vampires back, gosh darn it! D:

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.

That's definitely a new save thing, there is always one scripted first break-in, then the rest is left to random chance.

I want my vampires back too. I also have my Risky Vampirism fixed at different rates and a break in bite would be higher. I have a story I want to create and cannot do it if they don't do it on their own. Why do people get a pack and complain about it having things in it they don't want, like a life state, or even not get a pack and still complain so that those that did get the pack for what it was supposed to be cannot play what they paid for?! Thank goodness for MCCC and now after reading this discussion more I will use the force break in more often, because I know after a certain pack ( I think was Get Famous or whatever came after) they declined even more. Before that they were not happening when supposed to or as often but was at least more than now. The Historical Apt in the Foodie area in the City is usually a great spot to get bitten, if you live there. Lately when I try it, there are none that ever show up, or they show as vendors and then I know it won't happen. I want either Vlad or Caleb to bite my sim to turn her, or my vampire version of Diego, he's great as a vampire and seems to love being one too. Here's to hoping we get our vampires back! And not broken in a different way this time!

They put a no tresspassing option now for those players who dont like occults but bought the pack anyways lol developers change them back, I love my vampires and I miss my vampires breaking in lol, meantime us occult loving players are miss out ?

Wait!

I got the MCCC risky vampirism with a higher risk for break-ins but what is this about forcing a break-in? I will search MCCC again but if there is some other trick I would love to know what it is.

If they’re going to break in it will be between midnight and 2 a.m. in game time, and every sim in the household must be asleep and the doors must be unlocked. The frequency has been severely decreased since pack launch due to several simmers who only wanted the CAS and BB in the pack but not the vampires themselves very vocally complaining. Now they can set the no trespassing for vamps on their doors, but sincerely doubt the frequency of break ins has been increased.

Gosh, hope that didn’t sound too bitter.

ETA: you can increase the likelihood by studying vampire lore, researching vampires on the computer, and interacting with vampires in game.

You dont sound bitter at all, honest is good, your just expressing how us occult players feel, I can sound even worst than that I'm like why even buy a pack that actually says vampires as a title if you dont like them, lol @Pamtastic72

The researching and interacting hasn’t increased it happening at all (for me at least), I’m on a new save too. I believe Pets being awake also keeps them away, as pets take up a Sim slot, so the game doesn’t consider them separate.
