I teleported the Count to someone's house so I could see a vampire. I knew he could bite but I clicked all over the Count and my sim so I could see how it worked. I never could find out how to trigger the bite. As he was getting ready to leave he autonomously hypnotized my sim and bit her. Does anyone know what triggers it? (It's probably something obvious...I almost never figured out how to slow dance. Call me clueless...)
Clueless. I hadn't met a vampire but some guy came around towelcome me to the neighbourhood the day my Sim moved in. I discorved shift-clicking n him after using boolprop I could turn him into a vampire. He changed straight away, became all dark atc, and then --- attempted to steal my newspaper. With my Sim stood right in front of him watching. Not exactly rock 'n roll. An interaction box appeared with him looking as though he was leaping on her. I thought it was going to say 'Be bitten' but it actually said 'Yell at'. However before she could do that, he said something about it being the day he must flee. And everything went back to normal.
Oooh. I had a vampire try to muscle in on my sims date. I tried to shoo him away when dawn broke and he started to smolder and scuttled away to hide from the sun. LOL
Obviously, I haven't finished reading the Prima Guide for Nightlife. I'm afraid I'm not to the "vampire" section. By teleporting the Count (using Inge's little shrub) and letting him bite one of my sims, it unlocked his ability to run amok and turn townies into vampires. One of my sims came home from school the other day with a "new" friend. He got off the bus and started screaming about the light and ran home. It seems a number of my townie kids are now vampires. (At least they don't hang around after school for long now. )
I went into SimsPE and created a relationship with a Countess for one of my Sims. Then he called her and asked her out on a date. Before the date ended, they were in love, and she bit him. I thought that the relationship had to be a high level before they would bite? The idiot decided to go swimming in the afternoon. Guess what happened to him.
what are the clues that a regular np or sim has become a vampire? since some of the posts imply that many of their nps had become vamps. so how do you avoid bad nps?
The vampires are pretty obvious. Their skin is a blue color and they walk around like a caricature of Dracula. They are pretty cartoony vampires. And when a NPC that you know is bitten, they will have a special vampire icon. They have their hands up near their faces and their fangs bared.
I wanted to make Spike (you know, from Buffy), so I made him a college student, but honestly if he's going to be acting like a two-bit movie monster after he gets bit I think I'll pass ... Has anyone had a player vampire yet? Are they cool or just silly?
They are cool for all of 5 minutes. LOL I wanted to make Lestat and decided against it for the same reason you decided against making Spike. Lestat is suposed to be sexy, not silly!
That's a perfect description of the vampires. They are cheesy. I wish you could choose to include them in a neighborhood...or not.
I wonder what would happen if you befriended them all and invited them to move in and then let them have a little "accident" ... would they be gone? I'm thinking the game would probably make more, so it would probably be a waste of time.
I think the Count and Countess are like Mrs. Crumplebottom...NPC's that must never be killed or you fubar your game. Maybe someone will make a hack that fixes this at some point.
I wasn't going to try it anyway. Much more fun to annoy them ... especially Mrs. Crumplebottom. I think I'll go out of my way to make an enemy of her sometime ... just cuz I like playing with fire.
Mrs. Crumplebottom? There's a Mrs. Crumplebottom in NL? Or are you talking about the Mrs. Crumplebottom from TS1? I loved her; so much fun to start making out in front of her and watch her blow up.
Yes, there is Mrs. Crumplebottom in NL, and she is really mean, she ruined one of my sims dates the other day by wacking her (my sim) with her handbag repeatedly over the head, kinda killed the romance....
Yeah, she's a nuisance, but a funny one. She started whacking Marcel Mace over the head when he was on a date with Sheila Mae Sparrow (from my Dear Emmy story) but it didn't hinder their love affair. They're married and have a baby now
I ended up having two "Mrs. Crumplebottom"-types on a date last night. Virginia Dawn was dating one of the Moore Twins (Samuel, the cute and fun one.) Virginia had been dating Tina Simpson's son Kaleb. Well, Tina just happened to be at the PURE club, having drinks with Mrs. Crumplebottom. She was infuriated that Virginia would be cheating on her baby boy! She kept running up and smacking Virginia around. When she wasn't, Mrs. Crumplebottom would take over and whack Virginia with her purse. With all my hard work, I only got a "great" date out of it, but I guess I can consider myself lucky. LOL
Tyson and Lola still had a dream date, even though they each got hit with the Crumple's purse. The secret is to walk away from the interfering old busybody. She is funny, though.
