[Solved] [V] Vamp Still Scolded for drinking plasma

So not sure if anyone else is having this issue (I have the latest patch, but am currently reloading the game to collect evidence - didn't think about that before writing up a report.. ugh..).

So my vampire (with permission) drank from a friendly sim in front of other sims, and a day or two later I get a notification that I've been drinking plasma without permission! Not sure if rep was hit or not.. wasn't paying attention to that at the time (sometimes the little popups are hard to track).

So later I tested something to make sure. I secluded myself and my victim, drank (compelled) alone with no witnesses.. Then either same day or next (don't remember) I went over to the Vatores where I invited my friend, asked to drink, and drank them in front of Caleb and Lilith. Day or two later, Caleb calls saying I drank from someone without permission (so I know it wasn't about the secluded victim...  unless that's somehow tied into the problem even if Caleb never saw me drinking the other victim).

NOTE: I do have mods installed, but I doubt that's the issue.

    This is a vanilla bug since release and was never fixed. The team fixed another issue with this it was the issue that vampires with permission get scolded.(https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-V-Vampire-drank-with-permission-yet-getting-scolded/td-p/7177743)

    The core bug, that you get scolded if you drink from a victim without permission and not another sim is still there and happen often if you drink from sims if you on other lots (empty Houses, community, generally lot). Yes, there was never a report for and really, I don’t think is worth to report. My vampires drink most the time with permission and this is fixed in vanilla. I use the other method to reduce my reputation, so I like this bug.

    If you use mods and don’t like the vanilla system you can use the mod “Vampires – Can Kill” from Zero. Zero fixed this bug in his mod. Sadly, I don’t found a standalone mod for this bug.

  • @JarrenV Please make sure to test without your mods before making a report. I can't find a current report for this since it was fixed.

    I'll have a proper testing hopefully on Thursday. From my gameplay yesterday, I'm starting to think it's not the same issue. I have been randomly feeding on sims (compel), and although all have been in private, am getting notifcations that I've been feeding on sims without permission (which is true) but by sims who were never even in the area O.o So I'm starting to think it's something else. Will test thursday again with no mods active - Will backup save file just in case - and try both the brazen feeding and feeding with permission in front of other sims.

    Hopefully can gather enough data to confirm any suspicions (including running same simulations with mods after). Once I gather my data, will make report later in the week. (either same day - thursday - or friday at the latest).

    As a side note - it doesn't really bother me personally, I just ignore them as an evil vampire who gets her way regardless :P  But if it is indeed a bug that was "fixed" and is still cropping up, I felt the need to report it ^_^ So we'll see this week.

    @JarrenV Make sure that you make two reports if you have it for both cases .

    In your OP you say you get it with permissions which would be the old bug that's supposed to be fixed (there's been multiple attempts to fix this though) and in your second post you said it you get it when there's no witnesses without permissions.

    To my knowledge, there's no open thread for either.

    So I think I can safely conclude this issue is not as the title prescribes. I believe @daikoyu is correct. After a week on a plasma pack diet ( sounds disgusting :P ) I seemed to be clear of notifications. I then proceeded to go around to friends for permission to drink - no notices - but when I compelled sims in private at a bar, I get the notifications ( not always, but most of the time ). I think I'll mark this as solved, because I doubt that'll ever get fixed. It's so minor an issue that I'm not that worried about it (if others aren't).

    Thank you for your time @crinrict <3
