* This mod may not work with the latest patch (6/3/20). I will be testing all my mods over the next week or so and upload updates as necessary. Thanks for your patience!

Based on the book Vampires Don't Sleep Alone by Elizabeth Barrial and D. H. Altair, the Bloodborne Aspiration allows your Vampire Sim to explore their ancestry in order to reveal their true nature. Found in its own, new Aspiration category, Supernatural, once selected it grants the bonus trait Observant for sims Teen through Elder.

There are four levels to the Aspiration.

Upon completion, the Sim will be awarded one of eight unique traits which aligns them irrevocably with a specific vampire house. Each Bloodborne house has a base mood, an additional bonus reward trait, modifiers, whim set and custom moodlets/social interactions (as applicable).

As with my other traits, I have re-purposed other, already in-game moodlets which should appear occasionally for the traits they are associated with. Some may not be spot-on, so let me know if anything looks especially out-of-place. Although I've tested the Aspiration and accompanying traits, I do not have all the Sims 4 expansions so there are some aspects I've been unable to test, specifically: Money gains for Transeo, Illnesses for Cicuta (a little wary of this one, but it shouldn't kill anyone... I don't think), Fertility with Vespillo. This, generally, shouldn't impact gameplay if you don't have all the expansions yourself; the only ones required are Vampires and Pets. However, please consider this a beta version of the Aspiration and feel free to report any issues you run into so I can correct them.

Planned Updates
  • Broadcasters aren't, as far as I'm aware, working in MC4. If/when this is ever fixed, I'll add some in where appropriate
  • Missing from the unique traits is the final Bloodborne house, Silenti. I need to take a brief break from modding and would rather submit an Aspiration is 90% finished for the time being
  • I'd like to see if there's a way to add a base trait for any humans who decide to take the Aspiration which I've been working on, called Renfield. If I can't integrate it, I'll just release it separately at some point
  • More custom moodlets/custom social interactions
  • Some change if the vampire is cured or the trait is removed with cheats. I'm not sure what right now, but you can bet it's going to be bad
  • Make the Aspiration selectable in-game

Known Issues
The Reward Trait shows as a blank llama when moused over in-game; as the Aspiration rewards one out of eight traits, I cannot determine how to list them all as potential rewards (and don't think there'd be space, in any case)
Because Supernatural is a custom Aspiration category, it cannot be viewed in-game when changing aspirations. So, Bloodborne can only be selected while in CAS
Technically, this Aspiration can be chosen (and completed) without Cats & Dogs; without it, the Be friends with X animals milestone checkpoint just doesn't appear the Aspiration continues without it. Similarly, the only Reward Trait that requires it is Tristis, as it grants Animal Whisperer. IF you get Tristis and do not have Cats & Dogs, a LE error is generated as a result but all other aspects of the Reward Trait itself function just fine

Updates
01/07/20: Updated for Discover University. PLEASE NOTE that my MC4 file has somehow become corrupted and I've been wrestling with fixing it prior to updating because I wanted to finish the Silenti trait not originally included along with some other planned updates to it. Unfortunately, it looks like I may have to scrap the entire Aspiration and start over so please consider this a temporary fix until I find the time to re-do everything from scratch, which may take a while. Let me know if you encounter any errors with the updated version, however.
