Vampires "Disable always move as Bat" doesn't work.

I hate having my vampires moving around from place to place as a bat and it gets quite annoying when you have a vampire visiting your house and they just teleport everywhere and you lose track of them; even teleporting 3 spaces ahead or something ridiculous like that. When giving a vampire the skill to move as a bat, I always disable "Always move as a bat." Always. WALK. Walk unless you're stuck out in the burning sun without cover.

I'm bad at explaining things so lets call my vampire Elizabeth. I click on her and click "Disable always move as bat." She walks. Great. Use those legs. However when I go to play another family and I invite Elizabeth the vampire over, she suddenly begins teleporting everywhere as a vampire again. So I go back to Elizabeth's family and suddenly she's set to always move as a bat again. This happens with ALL my vampires.

How do I stop my vampires constantly deciding to revert to always move as bat when I'm not playing their household? It's super annoying.

  • Same issue. Even disabling the move as bat thing doesn't work, it reverts when you change households. I'm on PS4 so no mods or CC or anything. Just another bug. Sigh.

  • I have the same problem, exactly like you said. In my vampire family, one of them died and I kept him as a ghost, he's a ghost-vampire, it works on him instead.

    Since vampires are one of my two favourite life states, I have a lot of vampires from multiple houses who all had the move as bat power. Having them all meet and transforming all over the place was far too annoying so I removed the power on every single one of my vampires, always use an umbrella outside,  and avoid meeting during the day so none of my uncontrolled vampires die in the sun. 

    It's a shame the power works the way it does.

    Another thing that makes this so annoying is that the vampiric speed power has pretty kuch the same mechanics except it actually works sensibly. Like Lilith and Caleb Vatorr have it and when I invite them over, the only time they use their vampiric speed is when they're travelling large distances. Like from the house to the point of the world where the game considers an end point to the current location. But otherwise they just wander around normally. So its frustrating that move as bat doesn't work the same.
