Unfortunately , I had a sim get bitten and turned into a vampire even though they had taken the garlic . Fortunately , although it was daylight when they got home the sim had plenty of vamprocillin and I turned them back to normal straight away . It's impossible for me to know whether the no bite npcs bit of this hack works or not , but I had no NPCs bit while it was installed so I guess that bit works , although Ive taken the garlic back from all my sims and removed this hack and put Jfade's back for now . I hope you can get it to work 100% though because it's a great idea

Bruce,

I'm not aware of anyone else that has had a problem like that. Were you able to reproduce it at all after that one incident ?

The only thing I can think that may have happened is that if you were in the menu after giving the sim garlic it is sometimes possible to accidentility remove the garlic if you click in the wrong spot rather than clicking back through the menus properly to exit...

If that was the case and it was simply removed accidentily in error, maybe I just need to add a confirmation dialog (yes/no) to the remove garlic option to ensure this can't happen without your or anyone else's knowledge...

Sorry I didn't respond earlier . The sim definitely had the garlic at the time of being bitten though because after turning the sim back to human I then removed the garlic from her ( and the other sims too ) before replacing the hack

Hi almecho :wave:

I hope you got my email about your abduction hack.

Anyways, I was wondering if you don't mind another suggestion or well, more of a request. I don't know if you've read this over at the MATY forums, but according to dizzy, any hacks that disable NPC biting completely pretty much makes it so that all selectable sims will always be suspectible to biting. This is because the ridiculous threshold in the original Maxis code only checks if 10 npcs are vamps. Not 10% of your neighborhood population.

Perhaps, to improve this, in addition to disabling the biting of npcs, this check should be changed to all sims, not just npcs. That way, if you do have 10 or more vamped sims, selectable or non-selectable (i.e. townies, dormies, or downtownies), then autonomous vamping should be curbed.

I hope this would be something that could easily be added/changed? I was thinking about taking a look at it myself, but since there are several hacks that already deal with the issue, I figure it would be better to improve existing ones rather than reinvent the wheel so to speak. :P

Plus, I like your hack the best because of the cute Jack Skellington doll. :D

Wow...I love this, thanks!

not sure if this is also something you were going to eventually add but having the vampire react to the presence of garlic that a sim has on them by cowering away or running away much like they do from sunlight maybe even a motives decay like how vamps motives decay when they are awake during the day and indoors...
just some added thoughts in case you hadn't already considered them. This whole garlic thing is great by the way.

Thanks... is it possible to turn off townie being bitten (not selectively, just make it impossible for every townie)??

Thank you so much. How do vampires start? are the already in the game? When I was making a new sim, she smiled and showed fangs so I didn't finish making her, just cancelled her, because I wasn't ready for vampires at the time. Other than that, where do they come from? I love this mod. I want to decide who can't become a vampire. It could ruin your game.

You can't create vampires in cas or bodyshop. They have to be bitten in game by a master vampire.

Thanks! It is very useful to choose which sims become vampires in my game!

Can you update this to work for OFB?


thanks

wow! this is so cool! i'm sick and tired of vampires biting my sims all the time, and here's a solution)) thank you very much!
