Vampire Biting Habits
Magicmoon:
Not having played a vampire before, I'm confused somewhat by their inconsistency with game rules.
I had a Sim who was bitten by a Grand Vampiress. They later married and had children. I've noticed that the Grand Vampiress has a few autonomous behaviors that I haven't witnessed in the regular vampire, such as flying around the house at random, for no apparent reason, since they often fly into one room then walk clear across the lot to do something else, or worse yet, land inside of objects where they can't get back out.
The behavior that I am most concerned about is the biting. I am using vampwerefixes of course. I was told that only teen and above could be vamped. Yet this Grand Vampiress has attempted to bite a toddler (not related but living in the same household) and two of her own children. The bites have always been attempted while the Sim is sleeping. But if I take her and have her click on one of the sleeping Sims, bite is never an option. Is this normal behavior?
The image is hard to see but the vamp is entering the door to bite the sleeping toddler in the crib. Although this image was taken at a dorm, the other two 'bites' took place at home in the regular hood.
The bites have never been successful, yet she has the memory of vamping 2 of her kids. She does not remember the bite attempted in the picture above, however. The kids do not have a corresponding memory, as the transaction was never completed. Can vamps actually bite sleeping Sims? Does this mean that she will never attempt to vamp those 2 kids again later in life because she already thinks that she did, thus giving them immunity? Or will the fact that they are still Sims leave that option open still since they could have conceivably been cured and thus open to re-vamping? I'm not looking for any forced bites, only autonomous ones.
I was hoping that she would actually succeed in vamping one of these little ones. It would make the game quite interesting. Anyway, I've only seen these behaviors in her, but not in her husband which was my playable that she first vamped.
J. M. Pescado:
Grand Vampires try to randomly bite people as a signature behavior. Vampwerefixes restricts them from messing up playables from other lots because of state-inconsistency death, as well as NPCs. Not sure why they're trying to bite those of ineligible age, though. Will look at it.
Loncaros:
What's a Grand Vampire and how does one differ from regular ones?
Gwill:
The grand vampires are the original NPCs. They're not much different from other vampiric townies.
jrd:
With the exception that they bite autonomously (normal vampires don't), are called count/countess, and wear a special outfit.
