[VampPack] Has anyone got 6 weakness points instead of 5?

To Anyone
What can I do to reset the no. as 5. I already use the reconfig. potion, that's why I know my ghost-vamp has an extra 1 weakness point. Is there cheat code to set the number properly?
Tks Rgd

    1st picture show what I mean. My Weakness Point is 6 instead of 5.

    2nd shows exactly my problem. Please pay attention to the Day Phobia, although there is no highlight BUT the game acknowledges the EXTRA WEAKNESS.
  • Nope, I've never seen this before.

    Try using

    sims.get_sim_id_by_name {Firstname} {Lastname}

    to get the sim's ID, then use

    bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40962 {simID} false

    to remove all the weaknesses. This should then allow you to reselect weaknesses (if you wish)

    The PROBLEM is my REFUND is 6 instead of 5. I want a cheat that can correct the No. of weakness. It's suppose be 5 NOT 6. Also, I've already upload my BUG Ghost-Vamp on the gallery. Please help me out if problem occurs in anyone of your game. My OriginID is same as my forumID. My Ghost-vamp Household is Bai, under "Townie - Bai"

    Yes. I UNDERSTOOD the PROBLEM and there is no CHEAT to remove WEAKNESS POINTS. So INSTEAD, I offered an alternate workaround to the issue. Emphasizing your original question as though I can't read is just rude and it's not going to help you solve your problem :)

    Sorry if my writing has mislead you. What I meant is I already try the method you've provide me but the result is. I still got the refund of 6 instead of 5. Such "Evil" no. is forever stuck in my sim. Wish there is a cheat to correct the count of the no.

    I had a vampire with 7 weakness points once. But this happened because I cheated the rank down and then cheated it up again. Once this happens there's no way to remove the weakness points. It's either play with no weaknesses or play with the extra points.

    Wow 7? That's WAY~~~ unfair. I~~ not knowing what to say... SIGH
  • I don't know if you use any mods that might cause this or if it is because she is a ghost or just that the power system remains a bit unstable following the C&D patch in November. I also don't know if you used any cheats to get to this point, but it does seem like there are still some strange things happening with vampires in general :/

    I don't have this exactly, but it interests me that you have a weakness greyed out but selected. I have this in my game too:

    As you can see if you look carefully, the restless sleep whatever it is weakness is greyed out but still has 1/2 selected. This has been the case for this sim since before the most recent patch. As you can also see, this sim has sun immunity even though he isn't at the right level to have it. He has never been an NPC so the game should not have allocated him this power. I have three other sims who have also obtained sun immunity at random without being the right level for it, and I still have times when powers grey out and can't be selected when things are chosen.

    Here is the above sim's son, also with sun immunity.

    Although this relates to powers rather than weaknesses in his case, there is an anomaly here too which I think is related. For comparison, here is my grand master sim whose powers have been added normally and without any oddities:
    https://i.imgur.com/yRRnp8U.png

    In his case, the sun immunity is selected but shows 3/3. It is the same in the case of HIS son, who is the only other sim I have given full immunity to and who I have levelled all the way up to the top in this game:
    https://i.imgur.com/gJN6jTJ.png


    In the case of the other two, it's just there as selected but doesn't seem to have come about from allocating any points. It's just there.

    Like the greyed out weakness that you and I both have, it's something the game seems to have control over, rather than the player. I feel like even if I did want to reset those sims like you are trying to do, probably I wouldn't get any points for sun immunity because it doesn't seem to have used any to select it.

    If you didn't use mods or major cheats to get to this point, and I have no reason from what you said to assume that you did, it sounds to me like the vampire power bug from the november patch is still not totally fixed. The fact this happened in a new game makes me think so even more. Since the most recent patch (which should have fixed it) I have had at least one vampire with greyed out powers that I couldn't select, and it took a couple of tries to get them to be available. This points thing and greyed out selected weakness seems like it might be related.

    Unfortunately I have no idea how to resolve it :/

    That's very impressive info. All I can say so far those problems happens when the game creates Vampire Townies. Luckily didn't effect our regular CAS creation of Vampire Sim. Oh and I do not use any mods or ccs for sure.Tks Rgd
  • You need to leave off false just type "bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40962 " without any quotations if you do this it will permanently remove all weakness points from your vampire (make sure you have assigned all the weakness points first otherwise it won't work), but you can ADD back the weaknesses using the equip trait cheats (https://www.reddit.com/r/sims4Cheats/wiki/vampcheats)

    It's time consuming, but you'll be able to give your vampire 5 weaknesses instead of 6. Then you can refund it normally later once you have ranked up if you want to switch it around (though can't guarantee it won't bug out again!). Or you could live with the 6 weaknesses until you are a high rank then do the cheat. I am not sure why more people don't know about this, but I found it tinkering around and it's the workaround I use when I want vampires with varying amount of weaknesses. If you leave off the false it will take all your weakness points and you can assign them however you want by equipping them (through the cheat menu in game).
  • Is anyone having a problem where you can’t take any weaknesses at all? I’m supposed to take 5 and it’s not registering when I click on one.
