Can’t Vampiric Spar/Duel

Alright, I had just recently got the Vampire game pack so I’m not a complete master with this stuff but I had been doing research on this issue and nothing seemed to have worked. I have never in the entirety of owning The Sims 4 have I installed mods, I have tried to repair my game but the issue wasn’t resolved that way either. I had also tried with different characters in the save to see if it would work, it didn’t. But I did try a completely different save and I seemed to do it with ease. What can I do to fix this problem?

    It looks like your save has been bugged. You can try to reset it.

    However, before you attempt to repair as below, could you give us some details on the situation when it happened?
    Go to Documents/ElectronicArts - inside will be The Sims4 folder
    Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
    Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
    Step.4. Take random sim and start a new game. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder
    If the problem disappeared
    Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
    "saves" and Tray.
    Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
    Step. 7 Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
    Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder
    Step 9. Turn on the game, go to your save and check if all is OK now
    Step.10 If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder. Now you will have only one game folder which- I hope - is working properly.

    @TaylkushaJie  The vampire spar option is not under the vampire menu.  Look in the friendly menu.  It's Vampire Spar.

    Edit:  There is also a vampire fight option under the mean menu.  And there is an age restriction in that a teen vampire can only spar with another teen while YA and above can spar with other age groups.

  • I was doing testing and not seen it mentioned anywhere. 

    If your having trouble finding the spar and your sim is Female make sure she's NOT PREGNANT  🙂

    turns out if she is she can't spar till the baby is born.  in all the messages I've seen posted none mention if the sim is male or female. so for those that couldn't figure out how to fix it and your sim is female there is your answer

    omg THANK YOU - I wish I had seen this before I spent forever resetting my game and losing all of my saved progress... Would be great to have an in-game UI that indicates that certain options are not available due to things like pregnancy... Gonna have to start over now I guess.
