Autonomous Vampire Feeding being Changed and Reworked...or just the same idk

[scoed]

Good news!!!!!!

here is the latest from SimGuruNinja. Quote:

" Guess what? I'm an plum.

Nothing has been changed on this feature. Vampire events remain untouched. This was much ado about nothing. The functionality of the break-in w/ bite is the same as it has been since we launched.

I was confused. We were investigating some tuning changes to this event that would have turned it off, BUT WE DID NOT ACTUALLY SUBMIT ANY CHANGES to the current Live build.

And guess what else? We're not going to change it based on the fury contained in this thread. Your vamp break-ins will continue unabated. Any bugs we solve will be done without adjusting this event.

So like I said, I'm an plum. Sorry to cause panic."

So it was much to do about nothing! I am glad they are looking into ways to help those who do not like the break ins but they need to keep it for those that want them.

So here is the direct link to SimGuruNinjas post: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/16361994/#Comment_16361994

It is interesting that despite Vlad not biting sims during his initial visit he now claims that no nerfing occurred. Either way, perhaps our concerns have been heard and indeed this game play feature is safe and here to stay.

Thank you for being on the ball and up to the min on that thread @scoed

And it's not even April

Well, I take a courteous bow and leave this discussion satisfied then.

Thank you for keeping us informed, @scoed & @Playalot

Maybe there is a new bug messing with Vlad? This game has more than most.

Let's be generous and say that is exactly what happened.

FYI edited first post to reflect changes.

@Playalot
Thank you so much for being so quick about keeping us in the loop about this potential catastrophe!

Thanks, too, to @scoed ! Bearer of good news!

When I first start reading this thread I was furious and completely freaking out, I love the danger, excitement and unpredictability that Vampires bring to my game, I love the break ins and definitely want them to continue.

People who don't want Vampire break ins in your game you have options! Don't buy the darn pack or make a freaking Garlic Braid (That is what they are there for), you only need level five Vampire Lore Skill and a few garlic seeds to do so, lock your doors or delete the pre-made Vampires. Don't spoil the fun for the rest of us, fun that we paid for and are entitled to enjoy! 

I have been upset with EA's watering down of the franchise with Sims 4, no Burglars, getting juiced or dancing on counters and where is that woohoo skill we were promised?! 

Anyway, I am so relieved to read SimGuruNinja's comment about how Vampires have not been nerfed and that it was all a big misunderstanding, I laughed about his comment saying how he got bit during a live play, lol. (Poetic justice much?).

I apologize for the rant but I had to get that off my chest, I love my Vampires and the thought of them being messed with made me see red. Of course now I just want to trigger a Vampire break in, time to have some fun.

@Rainbow Dash

I read on your other thread that the premade vampires are showing your sims a lot of extra love today.
Guess they're glad to be back at it, too.

@oshizu Hehe, yeah they certainly are and they are sharing the love with@Playalot too, I'm glad, I missed them too. 

Makes me feel bad about my little rant after the sudden but welcome Vampire invasion, I'm glad EA fixed it.
