*sigh* this is bad.  It may corrupt your objects.package file.  I would check to see if that has happened.


Before NightLife, I ran the game for several months with the objects.package file marked as read-only.  That seemed to prevent large amounts of weirdness and bugs.  I've now done the same thing with the NightLife objects.package file.  Is there any valid reason (other than a Maxis patch release) why this file should not be read-only?

Oddysey:
Yep. Objects.package file has a little over 2000 more KB than it should. Am to be replacing now. And I'm going to look into how possible it is to get a vampire to bite Mrs. CrumpleBottom, and if there are any other game critical type NPCs vulnerable to this. If the Grim Reaper can be vampirified, that's a massively bad thing. Don't touch the Reaper. Too bad you can't train sims not to do things by giving them electric shocks . . .

That is an awesome idea! Unless MaxoidTom or anyone else has any word on any repercussions, I will do that too.

cabelle:
And what about vampires randomly biting other sims, like Brandi Broke and Dina Caliente? I've read a few posts over on the BBS about this and was puzzled. I was under the impression that a sim would only be bit if they had a high enough relationship with the vampire. I'm not really into that aspect of gameplay (have very few aliens and no zombies either) so I thought if my sims avoided them like they do the child townies I wouldn't have any other vampires than the ones that came with the game. Are these incidents of "random" biting a glitch also?

sanmonroe:
I think there may be a relationship bug. Several times (3!) I have, ina  brand new neighboorhood, had a sim meet someone that they have at least 2 lightining bolts for, and after the first contact (generally tell joke for me, but didn't keep track) they are instantly best friends and in one case both crushed.

I also noticed this did not fill the make a freind want on one of my sims, so I assume the game thought it was already set and was just updating it.

I haven't been able to make a save to reproduce, it has only happened on NL town lots.

If this is happening between vamp NPCs and townies/and NPC CAs sims, this could explain the biting, they ARE great friends.
