If you don't have Vampires, do you have to mark DNF?
if we turn Bella Goth for example and then bump into a new sim called Barry von homeless we cannot change him unless we go right around the alphabet and back to B again right?

Sounds like Barry Von Homeless had a lucky escape.

When you create a Vampire, you need to witness the transformation for it to happen, does this mean that after we turn Sims, we need to have them transform in front of us?
the order is based upon when your sim bites them, right? Not when they actually transform? Because they could be bitten in the right order, but transform out of order (have had this happen before).
Thanks!

Correct. Ba comes before Be, so Barry would need to be turned first. Since you turned Bella, you'd then be looking for a Blake, Brenda, and maybe even Bjorn Ironside. Lol. :) "You vampires are nothing! I am the son of Ragnar Lothbrok!"
I still haven't seen an answer the questions I asked about turning homeless or randomly generated Sims, can we do that? I mean the fate of Barry and Betty Von Homeless is at stake here! :o
Seeing as my brilliant joke is clearly too complicated for @Metropolis Man I'll answer this one:
Q: What do you get if you cross a Snowman with a Vampire?
A: Frostbite!
:D
Also, to confirm, for this challenge, Uni and the Magic Packs are allowed?
question. Is Johnny zest J for Johnny or Z for Zest. The household is called the Zest household but the Sim is called Zest Johnny.It goes by first name. So if his name is Zest Johnny its Z

I will have to double check what he is in my game. Honestly haven't played him in years sorry for the stupid question.

It was not stupid at all, Rachel. In fact, truth be told, when Lena originally threw the idea out to the team I had it in my head that alphebetizing any list of names automatically goes to the surname. But, once I wrapped my head around the first name approach -- it's honestly simpler.
@Metropolis Man @LenaLJ Was this Challenge Lena's idea?

The whole vampire turning thing was Lena's idea, but then I tossed out the idea to give players a bit more to latch onto, more prep work and that's where needing to turn townies alphabetically came about.

Seriously, this brings back good memories as a little boy sitting at the dinner table. My dad and I would try to outdo each other with the stupidest puns just to make mom laugh.
was there a ruling on aging up children to biteable age?Not written down, but there should be, so I am going to change that.
Probably stupid question, but still...
If my game's not in English (and there's no way to switch it to English, though I'd love to), what alphabet should I stick to when planning the order? The alphabet of the language my game is (which is Russian), or should I use English names of premade townies and transliterate the names of Sims that are spawned while the game is going?
One quick question (be warned, there will be more!) - at what point does a townie count as turned? According to the progress report on the "Convert 5 Sims into full grown Vampires" goal of the Vampire Family aspiration, a townie counts as a vampire the instant you've finished biting them (unless they're a teen, because reasons), but I would have assumed that, for the purposes of this challenge, their transformation would actually have to take place...
Please forgive me if this is a silly question; I haven't played much at all with vampires. Anyway, if I drink from Andrea without turning her, am I free to focus my attention on turning Alexis or is fangs puncturing skin sufficient for the deed in this challenge?
Missing community EA lots such as the spa, must be placed at the beginning of your file. You are free to travel and/or move to any neighborhood or town.
As threatened, having spent the morning poking around a practice file, I've got more questions! My first pair stem from two consecutive sentences in the general challenge rules, whilst the others are more general:Missing community EA lots such as the spa, must be placed at the beginning of your file. You are free to travel and/or move to any neighborhood or town.Thanks in advance!
- Though the event doesn't explicitly call for any of the missing community lots, can I still place some at the beginning?
- Am I correct in interpreting that second sentence as permission to "Move Household" as many times as I like, so long as my sim always moves onto uninhabited residential lots?
- Presumably the Seasons settings are player's choice, else they'd be mentioned in the general rules? I've gleamed that starting season and season length aren't forced, but this is the first time I'm thinking about altering the rain, snow and temperature effect options...
- What's the stance on adding/changing/removing lot traits? I'd assume no touching community lots, but my sim's home lot would be fair game?
- Finally, and most simply, can my sim sign up for career(s)? I don't see why not, but I figured I'd ask...
EDIT: okay, turns out I've got another - can my sim hire a butler? I know for the Power Of Ten dynasty it was decided that one didn't count as a household addition, but different strokes and all that...

QuoteAm I correct in interpreting that second sentence as permission to "Move Household" as many times as I like, so long as my sim always moves onto uninhabited residential lots?
I thought we couldn't move households unless a rule for a particular challenge states otherwise, I mean hasn't that always been a rule in the past or has that changed now? ???
So my Sim died is that a straight up dnf or do I count my pitiful 42 Sims that I had turned. If anyone was wondering she died after gavin richards started a fire and the game sent her running out into blazing firey sun death and wouldn't let me send her back into the house because fire.
Rachel
Just created my vampire, this will be a fun grind. But it's my first challenge so I have a few questions:
- How does editing non home lots work? If my Sim moves to lot A builds a house and I want to move to lot B, do I have to demolish lot A or can I just leave it?
- Is intentionally killing sims allowed in this challenge?
- Can my Sim get a money tree and can I move it in my household inventory to get more trees?
1. You can leave the lot behind like you want, bulldozed or not.
2 and 3. Nothing in the rules for this challenge prevents you from those things.

So, if we were to conflate this challenge with the next one, would we be pancake turners?

Because it falls into the category of doing something over and over...like our painting events of the past.

Posted by: Deklitch« on: March 01, 2020, 02:12:06 AM »oh dear ... an old dear who was part of his group contacted my vampire to complain about him drinking from sims without permission. He started a gathering and drank deeply from her ... as much as to say "thanks for your feedback, I disagree with you, but thanks for it, anyway."
Also, he asked someone if he could drink from them, they said no way, keep those fangs away from my neck, he drank deeply from them anyway :D
Yes, I'm having totally too much fun with this.
Pfffffft, okay, fun question based on something that's just this minute happened - since we're counting score based on "a successful bite to turn", I can still count the poor sim who's only gone and died a mere two hours after Radu successfully bit them, right?
I was hoping they'd be safe once they got off the lot, but they didn't make it out in time... most inconvenient, really...what happened to this poor Sim?
Yep, go ahead and count that one.Yeah, I figured I could, but thanks for the confirmation!
what happened to this poor Sim?Honestly, it wasn't as dramatic as I made it sound; I was, uh, racing against the clock, so to speak. This episode will definitely be explained in my post-challenge write-up...
I should have made a practice run, felt like 200+ might be possible

I'm certain we'll see a few scores above 200; lots of the best players submit their scores on the last day of the challenge
I had to end early due to Sims 4 crashing on me. (thankfully I kept a spreadsheet on my turned Sim offspring).
Erich Von Carstein ended up with 63 offspring and a bad toothache.
His dental specialist told him he needs to floss between bites to eat. Dental Hygiene is important even for vampires, especially for vampires, it would appear.
What a fun challenge!
Yay, I'm not alone in the 200+ club any more! Seriously, congrats on that (potentially winning!) score...

Yes, indeed...a great score posted from Rainbow. I will not work up the first World Ranking until tomorrow after I close this event. But, as it stands and assuming no one else comes into the top of this event you'll have 1 win under your belt. Rainbow will have 2 out of 3 events as wins, so that pretty much solidifies where she'll be. Lena and Nikitachi are consistently right behind you guys. We'll wait and see tomorrow. :) Ugh. I just wish more of the heavy hitters from years past would still be around. As a true fan of how awesome you guys are it would be great to see a bigger pool of talent at the top.
Posted by: Vesper« on: Today at 06:17:07 AM »Congrats Rainbow. It's fitting that the most vocal vamp fan turned the most.
My top tip is to read the rules carefully so you don't suddenly run out of time.

...so, despite what my score might suggest, I'm not actually that familiar with the vampire mechanics... but I didn't think the Sunlight Reversal Cocktail was an actual reversal? Does it actualy provide a net gain of vampire energy when you spent its moodlet's duration out in the sun? If so, then man did I miss out...
Posted by: Deklitch« on: March 10, 2020, 06:22:22 PM »@Vesper yes, you are correct re the spellcasters. which I discovered multiple times (I kept on forgetting that they couldn't be turned)
Two questions
1) Do the reward traits/objects you get from the reward store work for vampire things - I know that the moodlet potion doesn't work for thirst, but does something like the 'never hungry' ones work?
Posted by: lizzi6692« on: March 10, 2020, 08:53:25 PM »No, the need traits for sleep and hunger don’t work on vampires.
2) How do you get people out of your club when you no longer need them?
Actually this was one of the first things I tested in my practice run, I gave Morrigan the Hardly Hungry and Seldom Sleepy rewards traits and let her run around for a while. Her thirst gradually went down over time but her energy bar didn't budge at all, she wasn't using any powers during this test run,
Posted by: lizzi6692« on: March 11, 2020, 10:38:52 AM »If she wasn't using her powers or outside in the sun, there would be no reason for her energy bar to go down. Vampire energy isn't like the regular sleep need, you only lose it if you actively do something to expend it.
