I understand what you mean with it takes longer to make vamps powerful... but for me gameplay is playing all aspects of the game and I don't plan on limiting my witches to just being all powerful witches and done.

In fairness, it is possible to simply have your sim research vampires on the computer to level them up in about 36 sim hours as well, so it is more how you play it. While not doing that will take a very long time for a vampire to level, playing your spellcaster without dueling for knowledge or just having them practice magic and going to make yourself a sandwich will produce similar results as far as the time to mastery.

Actually I didn't know that about vampires... I have to try it out. Leveling vampires isn't or wasn't that fun to me but if I can see it from the top down I might be more inclined to explore it further. Thanks :).
I also gotta say I always enjoy your posts and bent mind .. the great evil hiding in plain sight is basically my favorite type of character.

I appreciate the compliment. Thank you.

The devs said that you weren't supposed to get additional vampire XP from searching for vampires on the internet and it was left in as a bug. I don't think they'll ever change it, as it gives people the option to progress quickly if they don't want to grind it out over weeks and months. I think that would be a good call, as it gives both you and I the option to do what we want. I want to slow-play things, and I can. You want to push through, and you can.

I'm pretty sure it's been fixed. When I got vampires (just last month) continuing to research Vampires on the computer made my character bored and didn't result in any new vampire discoveries. I'll admit I didn't pay attention to if it increased the vampire's power or not.
