Teacher Love

[gyro_kisschasy]

Does falling in love with your uni professors actually get you higher grades. :knockedout:

[Mirelly]

Yes but be warned that making a prof who loves a sim jealous (one flirt with another sim is enough) will crash your sim to flunk-out red in les time than it takes to say: "oops" ... and having two profs in love with the same sim is a disaster waiting to occur :rolleyes:

[gyro_kisschasy]

Ok thanks. I think ill stick with late night studying. :cool:

[surprised_by_witches]

Influencing other sims to write your term paper or do your homework are two ways to get ahead without working very hard. It helps if your sim is somewhat influential, first.

If you're in a greek house and make your pledges do it it doesn't even cost you any influence points.

Apparently if you want really good grades you can influence someone to do your term paper and then go write it yourself as well.

Or you can do it the old fashioned way and just write it yourself. I had a vampire graduate with honors just by doing his term paper every semester and also a lot of assignments. He of course attended his final exams too.

how do you become a vampire? :eek:

[babewithbrains_14]

Be bitten. Usually vampires are downtown at night. You have to have NL though.

[gyro_kisschasy]

yes i do have nightlife. how do you get bitten or do they just come up and attack you. It sounds interesting. What place do they hang out at or is it just anywhere? :cool:

[person123]

You have to get your sim and the vampire into a good relationship, and the vampire will bite you. Once you let a vampire bite one of your sims, it triggers their ability to just autonomously bite sims wherever they go, no matter if they even know them or not.

In my game the Count usually hangs around Rodney's Hideout, and the Countess goes to the Maple Springs Pool and Spa. But it varies between games.

[gyro_kisschasy]

Thanks ill try that with one of my sims i dont like just in case i dont like the outcome ;)

[surprised_by_witches]

I had a heck of a time getting bitten and finally had to resort to influencing the countess to bite another playable sim, and then having that sim bite the sim I wanted to be a vampire in the first place ...

The vampire fix from Pescado will solve the random biting problem and possibly save the lives of sims you do care about ... nothing like going to a lot where a sim was, say, feeding a baby in broad daylight and have them suddenly burst into flames.

Vampires are tricky to play at first. Read the other threads about this for more info. My biggest piece of advice is never let them get out of their coffin for any reason during the day other than final exams. Or if they need to care for a baby or toddler. But make sure they're in a basement or a room with no windows if that's the case. (That's a good idea anyway.)

Also, keep an energizer machine handy at all times.

I just gave up. I had a very good relationship with the Count, we had a 90/88 relationship, WITHOUT being friends! I tried night after night to get him to bite me, but now he can bite me! Get it?

[surprised_by_witches]

Heh. Funny. I had the same problem with the countess. You need to invite the count and another playable sim to your house and then influence the count to bite them.

But then, beware. Random townies, and occasional player sims, will get bitten as well unless you get the vampire fix.

where... is... this... vampirefix...? :eek: :o

[Flameback777]

where... is... this... vampirefix...? :eek: :o
Here (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/nl/hacks/). It's called 'vampirefixes.zip'.

[gyro_kisschasy]

i bought a potion from the matchmaker and it was called something with a Vampiro in it im not sure:bandit: what it is or what it does, can anyone tell me?:o

[person123]

Vampirocillin, or something along those lines. You give it to your vampires and it turns them back into humans...or as much of a human as a sim can be.

[surprised_by_witches]

But that's different from the vampire fix, which is a hack by Pescado to keep your game from imploding.

[gyro_kisschasy]

Thanks :p

[jennyno1]

its called vampire:d or something anyway it turns ur vampire back into a normal sim

[jennyno1]

how come when my vampire sim got pregnant she had a normal sim baby? its not fair i wanted a vampire baby .:(

[HelloKit]

Because vampirism is an acquired affliction, not a genetic one. Sims can't be born vampires, they can only become one by being bit.

[babewithbrains_14]

Can children and babies be bitten?

[Lynet]

I wondered about that myself. Then I started wondering if children and babies could use the coffins because they'd need to. And could they go to school without getting burned up by the sun? I decided without even testing it in the game that they probably could not be bitten.

Also, they'd stay little kids and babies forever. :(

[surprised_by_witches]

Can children and babies be bitten?

No. I'm not even sure that teens can. I think there are two teen vampires for download on the official site, a boy and a girl, but otherwise I'm not sure a vamp can bite a teenager, much like they can't flirt with them, etc.

Young Adults, now, definitely. All of my vamps were turned in college. They do transition to Adult, but then they stay stuck at 29 days till elder.

At least until a glitch forces you to switch them back. :(

Oh, well. I think it worked well in my story, anyway.

[Lynet]

Oh, well. I think it worked well in my story, anyway.It sure did. I didn't even know there'd been a glitch you had to work around. :D

But regarding the age transition business: I can see why college age vampires would have to transition to adult, but adult vampires don't transition to elder vampires, do they? I thought they just lived forever in the adult stage.

[surprised_by_witches]

They never age past the first day of adulthood if they're vampires, that's correct. Spike and London still have 29 days to go until adulthood, and you know how much I've played them ...

[Lynet]

OK, I get it. I misunderstood your previous post. :o Thanks.

[gyro_kisschasy]

i tried something a bit cruel once.... :o i had some chidlren that i didnt want so i made the mum try and bite the child in hopes that the child would become a vampire.. then i would make her go outside and burn up but then i found out children couldnt be bitten so then i had to resort to keeping them in an enclosed room till they persihed of starvation :o :(

Theres a little evil in all of us ;)

[ASHMEANS r a d]

:shocked:


haha 'tis okay. never hurts to have fun.
i'm not even going to get into what my friend's sister did in the original sims 1. =]

[gyro_kisschasy]

you could devote a thread to it..... very interesting

[jupitershana]

No. I'm not even sure that teens can. I think there are two teen vampires for download on the official site, a boy and a girl, but otherwise I'm not sure a vamp can bite a teenager, much like they can't flirt with them, etc.

I have a couple of teen vampires in my game. Same rule applies to them for aging. They remain teenagers forever, or until you send them to Uni, where they are forced to grow into Young Adults. Careful sending them there though. I almost lost one of them because when they move to Uni it is daytime!

[Ruthie_Faye]

Can a parent bite their adult or YA child or would that be considered a romance type action? Like a parent can't flirt with their child.

Ruth

[jupitershana]

Yes, they can, that's how one of my teens became a vampire. I wanted a family of Vampires and the teen didn't know any other than her parents, so voila, teen vamp!
