Vampires Thread

Has anyone else experienced glitches when you you turn a NPC into a vampire? I played a game with my sim becoming a vampire and she parried Matthew Hamming. He died a natural death while she was still a young adult. Their 3 children made it up to young adult with no glitches in the game. However, when she found another man (weeks after Matt's death) he asked her to break up with Matt before he would marry her (what gives with that?). Matt was LONG gone; but it showed in her family tree that he was her fiance, even though he was a ghost.
I played another game, where she turned Matt into a vampire and had people being stuck and disappearing! Perhaps you  aren't supposed to turn some NPC into vamps? Had to scrap the game and will start again and let Matt die.

One of my Sims turned Matthew Hamming, and nothing happened to him like that. Maybe it was just a weird file glitch?

I've played a total of like 5 minutes in Bridgeport so I don't know about Matthew Hamming but I'm able to turn any and all people from SV so maybe it's a glitch in that file?

Bella and Kristoff had 3 babies and it's getting crammed for the apartment they were living in, but there aren't any good places to move in BP. I heard it's possible to move a family over to a different town, does anyone know if that's true and how to do it?

Nevermind, I got it working. But it isn't letting me move them to an empty lot even though they have enough money?

This article can help you out.

Thanks Esther but I did figure it out hahaha (:

[Esther1981]

You're welcome! Glad you figured it out! 

[evamichaela]

Yep!
My vampire couple just had twin girls and i'm excited to see what they turn out to look like. :]

If you want, there is a story board here. You can start a new topic, and I'm sure people would love to read it. We really love stories here!!

I know a lot of people have been saying that when their vampires had babies, the babies wouldn't have the mark.
My vampire couple had a son named Onyx a while back, and he just became a child. He has the mark, and I'll see if his two sisters have it too when they get a little bigger.
I'll put a picture up soon.

I think they meant there was no mark in the baby stage, I know toddlers get them. A few pages back there was an experiment by Pam to find out the chance of a Mortal Child from Mortal/Vampire Couple - 100% Vampires and only Saltypaws (I think) reported having a Mortal Offspring but a long time ago.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.  Likewise, sims who were turned will lose the mark sometimes.  In game terms, the bite and fangs are accessories and if you use the unlock outfits cheat, you can apply them to sims that aren't vampires (I'm not sure, but that might only work in CAS).

My sim's fiance turned into a vampire the day before the wedding. He didn't live with her so I was unaware until he showed up for the wedding. So, I had him go to the science center and turn back to normal. However, he is still skilling like a vampire. For the skills bar, he has 2+ to her 1+.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Bugs connected to skills are common in such cases. You are at least lucky to have a profiting bug instead of no skilling at all. I was hit by the latter, tried everything - switched households, devamp/revamped, nothing, and I repeat, nothing, helped. It is something that can't be fixed as far as I know.

Yeah, glad he didn't lose anything. I was going to have their vampire son turn after maxing a few skills, now I'm not so sure.

Edit: Well I had the female teach him Martial Arts and in one sparring, he gained 3 belts.

Edit: used the same sim (I keep a sleeper game for various scenarios) and had her become a vampire. I sent her to the Lab and she did not have the same vampire abilities as her husband in my other game. Maybe it's just NCPs. I'll try another game by having her ask Elvira to move in. Curious (though curiosity killed the cat).

Edit: Tried the scenario again and now the female is maxing as if she was still a vampire. However, I got a different glitch before turning her human. She went hunting on Friday and on Saturday one of the people she hunted showed up at the club still lit up as if she was being hunted. She stayed that way until Monday
