Vampirebot child!

[misseureka]

I've been hearing about those cool Simbot babies people found accidentally, and I thought I'd try to get one myself. I have Twallan's Mastercontroller mod, which has a "pollinate" function. I discovered I could use that to impregnate one of my vampire sims, Daria, via her Simbot lover. When the baby was born, she looked like a normal vampire baby--but when she became a child, I realized she was both a vampire and a Simbot.
AND IT'S KINDA FREAKIN' AWESOME.

By the way, I hope I put this in the right category... this kind of belongs in both the Ambitions and Late Night boards, so I didn't feel right putting it in either.

LOL that's awesome!

[misseureka]

Isn't it? It's weird, because I feel like blood would rust her insides.

[claudiasharon]

LOL true. I've never tried a simbot/vampire baby before. Wonder if you could throw mummies in there...xD

Yes. As soon as I'm done with my homework (that's what I get for procrastinating), I'm firing up the game and I WILL try this!

I saw the slideshow and that kid looks EPICALLY awesome. Now, I have this sudden need to create an army of evil simbot-vampire hybrids and take over the world.

*throws on lab coat, grabs Igor and runs down to secret laboratory* VICTORY WILL BE MINE!

:pauses:

Sooooo... What happens if you have Vamp-Mummy sim and a Mummy-Bot sim spawn offspring? Or any other combination you can think of? What would be the behaviors of a Vamp-Mummy-Bot Sim?

Once I am done with my homework, I HAVE A NEW GOAL TO WORK TOWARDS! :zooms off:

I enjoyed the slides. Nice documentation. And it does look like she's getting shot. Poor strange creature!

I WANT ONE.

I don't know why people get so worked up and joyful about glitching and mucking up their Sims. Occult features are designed to be mutually exclusive (unfortunately).

[insane_in_charlie_shirt]

Does doing this actually bother the game in anyway? There are far worse things I'm sure.

Anyways, I think it's funny and kinda cool. Strange as heck, don't know why you'd do it, but awesome. Glad you shared :D

LOL.

There are far worse things, it's probably harmless to the *game*. But the Sims function poorly. They don't have all their interactions, the game possibly doesn't know how to deal with two competing sets of motives (although maybe it just favours one or the other?). The animations mess up. The Sims are mutants until they reach adulthood. It's just a huge mess.

Which is what makes me wonder... ...why do people enjoy glitched out Sims in their games?

I want hybrids too, but fully functional, properly programmed ones, not hopelessly deformed mutant sims.

[insane_in_charlie_shirt]

Because they enjoy it? If it doesn't bugger the game then there isn't any reason not to. If they're willing to put up with a few glitches in the animations to get things like a floating child with fire feet who eats scrap metal and drinks blood why not?

I've never done it myself, only occult I actually play regularly is vampire, but I can see the appeal. I think it just depends on your tolerence for problems to get what you want, to get something different and entertaining.

I mean, I can understand where you're coming from, it does seem a little strange to intentionally bork a game just for one thing, but this isn't that bad.

[smacksim2]

Because its harmless emergent non-intended behavior?

Like, if you could use objects to make sims play human checkers, or remember the baby-races (to their food or a toy?) from TS2? When the game literally transcends (yes that is objectively not possible, but you get what I mean) itself and becomes something quite functional yet totally not anticipated, its pretty nifty. There is some potential for unexpected emergent behavior in the Sims, and when it happens the whole thing is a little more alive.

Another angle is that there is always the potential for harmful unintended things to happen, resulting in catastrophic failure. Routing bugs, memories from TS2, endless elevators of death, etc.. So when some glitch comes along and is odd but doesn't ruin everything forever, its quite a relief! Oh Shi... CTD....
