Vampires no longer breaking in

I just got attacked by plasma bats in my game shortly after the update :D

I want them to amp the break-ins up though since we now have that option to disallow vampires.

I don't play with Vampires that much and I really miss how often they broke in or see them run fast. Vlad doesn't even tell my Sims they have a nice neck anymore. I have no one to use my freeze ray on in the middle of the night.

Thus far, I still see them zooming around in my game as well as wizards on brooms though I don't play neither. But thank goodness, that is the extent of it.

@Pamtastic72 I couldn’t agree more! 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.... :'(

Exactly! And it would be like turning off Knitting from the pack that folks buy this coming Tuesday, you are turning off a main feature, or making it where there are No spellcasters at all. If you are buying just for CAS or build Mode items you have to be aware that you are buying all the features, especially the main thing it comes with. I still don't like that they made no townie sims come to be spellcasters now, I know they wanted to tone it down some but they did not have to remove all of them, I wish they also let them decide if they wanted to be a vampire too (without a mod). That just is not a valid argument saying just because they buy knitting for some things but not knitting maybe. I know that I am not interested in knitting really, but I do know that when I buy it, that it will include the main thing the pack is for, knitting. So they should just create a toggle (for those that do not want to or cannot use a mod to do it) to turn off any Occult sims they do not want in their games, then those of us that bought a pack to use the Main Thing it is created for can actually use them, they are basically powered up humans right now, and powered up humans that do not even use their powers! I can take a sim over to see the Vatores and they will be getting drinks out of thei fridge over and over, or if that glitch is fixed or when it was still see Lilith even eating food, even tho her one weakness would try to keep her from it and it has always done that with her or any vampire. They have never acted as supposed to, and little by little some parts get fixed but not very many, and its not fair to see folks wanting a light fixture to be smaller and more affordable when you still have Main Aspects of packs not even working.

Click on your mail box, see the MCCC option. Click that and under cheats for NPC sims, I think, it has Occult options, under Vampires I pick force break in. I hope I got those right, lol

Clicking on the mail box gives me MCC - npcs - but then the only vampire option is to humanize all vampires. I don't see a general Occult option or any other vampire ones D:

I re-installed my MCCC and I am not sure how I found it before, there are no options using the mail box like I was doing before. Maybe I had an older version and that was not added? I am not sure, I am sorry, I wish it was still there. I waited the whole day to keep trying in case it would come up at night, but its already after 11:30 pm and its still not there. =(

They could have used lot-traits as an opt-in.

We have a lot-trait that might give you vampire-children even if your sims are just plain ones.

Just give me a lot-trait “ Future Vampire-Snack” and I’ll stick it on my house.

I am miffed today. I try to turn an area industrial, it is hard. There is a lot-trait that makes a lot go greener faster but not one that makes it more industrial.

The in-game cat scratched the bed, 250 simoleons. Bill for a 4-stories home is 300 simoleons. Paying the bills is so not a problem and I am currently looking into what kind of mods would make money an actual issue for my sims.

It is hard going and mod-intensive to make life difficult for my sims.

That is why I wanted the vampires. Something scary out of my control. I just want my little sims to have something to worry about. If there are no challenges to overcome, then the victories feel less interesting.

I would totally use that lot trait! I try to put Vampire Nexxus even on my human sim and still cant hardly get even the visiting ones lol, I would definitely use a trait like you mentioned, especially if it helped bring them back

I can count on one hand how many times Ive had vampires break in this year. And on average I play on a daily basis.

Now maybe Im just the odd one out, but I kinda like occults doing occult things in the occult packs I PAY for. I DONT appreciate the nerfs and half-hearted occult shenanigans demands from peeps who despise occult play, yet somehow still speak for all of us (no you dont speak for all of us.) as if their wants represent the whole of the community. (No, your wants are entirely different from my wants amigo.)

Please let a toggle come soon so that occults arent constantly subject to the nerf hammer. Once again, maybe Im the odd one out, but I would LIKE vampires to break in ALOT more often.

I Have not seen any until the eco living pack came out. Now they come in wake my sim up. Bite them and leave.
