Updated: 4th Mar 2024 at 2:15 AM - Updated Info For March 2024
UPDATED INFO: MARCH 3RD 2024
Dark Meditation and Dark Energy mods have been checked. Only the Dark Meditation mods (all versions) are updated for Spa Day. Dark Meditation now counts toward Wellness Mindfulness. All of the versions for Dark Energy and Dark Meditation are compatible with Patch 1.105.x and Crystal Creations.
IF you do not have the Vampires pack, don't use these mods. It is possible to use these mods without Spa Day.
Remember to choose ONE Dark Meditation mod and ONE Dark Energy buff mod and put them into the Overrides folder.
INFO ON ZERO'S BATUU VAMPIRES POWERS MOD
Zero's "Batuu Vampires Powers" mod shares the same resource used in my "Dark Meditation" interaction mods. The ONLY difference between Zero's and my mods is that my Dark Meditation mods modify the time and remove the region to allow Vampires to meditate anywhere for however long they want. You can safely use Zero's mod with one of my Dark Meditation mods as long as you put both into the Overrides folder.
DETAILS ON DARK MEDITATION AND DARK ENERGY MODS
Does it bother you to see your Vampire gain almost nothing from using Dark Meditation to restore their Vampire Energy? Does it also bother you to see how long Dark Meditation last for your Vampire? 15 minutes??
Without further ado...
DARK MEDITATION MODS (interaction):
These mods changes the amount of time and energy a Vampire needs to meditate to regain their Vampire Energy:
1 Hour - EA default energy gain values (full Power bar)
1 Hour - Reduced EA default energy gain values by half (slightly over half of the Power bar)
1 Hour - Reduced EA default energy gain values by 1/3 (1/3rd of the Power bar) Pescado
2 Hours - EA default energy gain values (full Power bar)
2 Hours - Reduced EA default energy gain values by half (full Power bar after 2 hours)
DARK ENERGY MODS (buff):
These mods modify the amount of time a Vampire's Dark Energy buff lasts until the Vampires can use Dark Meditation:
No Buff: Can use Dark Meditation Immediately
1 Hour : Can't use Dark Meditation for 1 hour
2 Hours: Can't use Dark Meditation for 2 hours
3 Hours: Can't use Dark Meditation for 3 hours
4 Hours: Can't use Dark Meditation for 4 hours
24 Hours: Can't use Dark Meditation for 24 hours Pescado
NOTE ABOUT THE PESCADO VERSION:
J.M. Pescado was a well known modder for Sims 2 and Sims 3, having done a ton of mods to make the games harder to play or to make the Sims suffer. I'm pretty sure his poor Sims literally begged him to let them out of his games! The special Pescado mod makes the challenge more interesting for players playing their Vampires to survive with what little energy they have to go about their daily (or should I say nightly?) activities.
ABOUT THE VALUES:
The following information about the values in both the interaction and buff mods are outlined below:
Dark Meditation:
EA Default Energy Values:
Without True Master trait: 4
With True Master trait : 6
Chaavik Energy Values:
Reduced Energy Values By Half:
Without True Master trait: 2
With True Master trait : 3
Reduced Energy Values By One-Third:
Without True Master trait: 1
With True Master trait : 1.5
Dark Energy buff:
EA Default Value: 12 hours
BUT.....
EA modified a piece of code and added a hidden modifier inside the game to adjust the timer for the Dark Energy buff. This is what I discovered in my research:
EA Default Buff Values:
15 mins = 1 hour
30 mins = 2 hours
45 mins = 3 hours
60 mins = 4 hours
180 mins = 12 hours
360 mins = 24 hours
WARNING:
You can have ONE version from the Dark Meditation Mods (interaction) folder and ONE version from the Dark Energy Mods (buff) folder together in your game. Put them in the Overrides folder! Support will not be provided if either mod isn't put into the Overrides folder.

About My Policy
I enjoy modding Sims 4 for my own pleasure and sometimes share what I did with others, granted that I ask for permission to modify their mods for my own use. When I'm not making my Sims miserable, I play World of Warcraft, Cyberpunk 2077 and EQ 2 (when I feel like it). I used to play text-based MUDs such as Achaea, Lusternia, Aetolia and Imperian. When I'm working, I work at Amazon. Don't ask me about free stuff or stuff we pack or sell at our warehouse because I don't know what we carry.
Other than playing games, I enjoy reading and watching movies. I don't have a lot of favorite movies, but I have a fun fact.
Fun fact: I enjoy all of the Tinkerbell movies. Don't diss the fairies.
Another fun fact: I also enjoy high octane movies like Fast and the Furious series. Anything that has to do with racing and shooting. I do like foreign movies and shows like Squid for example.
Favorite line from a movie: "Humor... It is a difficult concept."
Favorite answer my manager gave me when I asked her which department she liked the best: "I hate them all equally."
