This is very frustrating as I have to continually micro manage my vampire sims when I know that this shouldn’t be the case. They are supposed to drink from inventory when plasma packs are bought. I understand they do not drink made ones or plasma fruits but I know bought ones they do. As I have previously mentioned my partner has the game and does not have this issue. I am starting to believe my game maybe missing some kind of code. And slo to my frustration it feel like I am the only one having this specific issue.
- @crinrict You won’t believe what it was...... This thread needs to stay up for anyone poor soul that suffers with this issue like me in the future. Right! I have a ASUS ROG STRIX laptop and theres a software that comes with it called “Sonic Studio” well I had my partner just log in on my laptop and download her own game of sims to test if the vampires would auto solve their thirst. Well guess what they wouldn’t. So it got me thinking recently I played Borderlands 2 on my PC and an issue with the audio not playing whilst in game. So I did a little bit a research and turned out to be this “Sonic Studio” you have to turn it off in order for the audio to work. Like a bug with the software. Anyway I told my partner to test that theory and see if it made a difference to the vampires drinking automatically. And to my surprise it actually worked! She turned off the “Sonic Studio” and my vampire sims finally drink!!! The software must be interfering with different games in mysterious ways haha! But thank you so much for your help and guidance on this issue it gave me more determination to find the source of my woe. :D
