Just why?

[scoed]

OK my latest vamp is living at a home registered with the vampire council. You would think they would be very pro-vampire. In the past I have gotten vampire lore books, plasma bags, and seed packs.

Lately though it has started sending my poor vamp garlic wreaths. Three mail drops in a row. It is getting so my poor baby vamp is getting terrified of the mail box and not just because  of the bills. 

I kind of find it funny my vamp apparently made enemies of the council. I just thought it odd that garlic is what the vampire council thinks best to send registered vampires as a membership perk. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and ask why.

...Sometimes you just have to shake your head and ask why.

Yes, I do that a lot Especially with TS4. Clearly, some things haven't been that well thought out by the devs.

The offerings through the mail basically climb the ranks of the Lore Skill which is why garlic wreaths etc start arriving. I like that as it makes for good story telling if your sim is a vampire hunter reading up on vampires and gaining the knowledge necessary to slay cure them.

To be honest, the developers have a hard road trying to cover all 'types' of simmers this time around due to the way in which the content is delivered. It's a very different model than TS3 and the developers are led by the managerial decisions, not the wishes of the gaming community. The key for them is to try and get as much flexibility in each pack as possible. It's easy to point the finger at 'the devs' and I have been guilty of doing that in the past too, as if 'they' aren't individuals going to work each day and doing their best, but some kind of anonymous blob that are guilty of all crimes against gaming!

Vampire council? What vampire council?

It is part of the 'back ground story' associate with the lot trait Registered Vampire Lair. It's actually the "League' that are supposedly sending you gifts through the mail.

In the description of the lot trait "Registered Vampire Lair" it is called the "League" and when the send stuff to you it is the "Vampire Council" as Playalot said. Any how they aren't a group you can meet. I was joking around as it seemed for a while they were trying to starve my poor vamp. It is actually one of the best perks. You get all kinds of cool vamp items for registering your lot as a vampire layer. I have gotten some stuff worth my time to put it as a lot trait. The gifts come often more often the the bills come anyway. Free plasma ROCKS.

I suppose you could make an NPC club called the Vampire Council and set their meeting place to a community lot... not quite the same but it may add a bit of richness to the whole back story. Maybe?

That would be fun. And it would give me someone to get even with next time they try to starve my vamp with a constant flow of garlic. That is one bad moodlet.

[Playalot]

lol yes! You could cover the doorway into their club hangout with the garlic wreaths they send you!
