You don't need to register if you use direct link to the file. Search the forum, it doesn't hurt.

No, because that's easy-ass in comparison to actually having to use the hunt option, find and befriend the prey, then lure it somewhere private to drink from (if you want to avoid public disgrace).

Did anyone else notice that garlic is making vampires sick? Loled a bit at that.

The link remains the same. You need to search MOAR. It's been posted here at least a dozen times.

Yes, you can buy them for 30 or raid the store and get some for free. Reportedly you can get caught for stealing but I haven't so far.

Very basic question is what are you gonna use it for: just sims/other games or maybe mainly graphic processing tasks, because that calls for different config. I'm sure forumers can share knowledge and experience, but basic info is required.

At this point in time 8GB RAM is absolute overkill. I've got 4GB and when playing the sims, running Win 7 x64 with couple of apps in the background it's using slightly above 2GB total. I suppose that by the time you actually need 8GB you'll need to replace the whole computer. (also, check if the motherboard is dual or triple channel. Don't install 3 modules in a dual or 2 in a triple, because that'll lead to performance loss)
Also, consider AM3 instead of Intel. Last time I checked they were cheaper for comparable performance.

What's with you and insisting on free plasma fruit? Is it so hard to raid grocery store for them?

Probably moved My Documents folder. R-click/Properties/Location. You probably should've figured that out yourself...

It did seem slower to me. I assumed the high-rise buildings were to blame. I didn't remove my cache files, though, have you?

I like this idea.

Sure, you can completely ignore that comment, it was just me reminded of the issue and wondering if I'm the only one surprised/not exactly pleased with it

I remember having no problem with some sims 2 expansions being on a different drive than the other, so not the issue probably. I'd be more worried about access time since as far as I know communication with external drive is slower than internal SATA. You could back-up your saves and test it (i.e. not touch what you already have there, install NL on the external drive), if it's unplayable then remove LN for now and invest in a larger internal drive maybe (unless you're using a laptop, then it's probably not an option).

No such problem in my game. Playing with AM only.

Don't bars close at like 2-4AM in the game? (I thought it should be like 6AM, but again I have no experience with real-life bars, so maybe it's a realistic closing time)

Doesn't matter what they want, you can't make everyone happy when putting vampires anywhere, simply because there are so many interpretations. I'm pretty happy with Dracula interpretation and think it would actually be funny if they were sex predators, but it's a 12's-friendly game, so they can't obviously do that. No instant death in the sun is actually there for practical reasons, too, as mentioned several posts above. And I guess the coders didn't want to make it impossible to fulfill most of the opportunities for vampire sims.

Besides, there are so many screw-ups in this EP, vampires are like least of the problems.

I think that one is for the sake of graphic engine sanity. Reflections are reflections in the game, if they wanted to omit some elements in those, they'd need a separate render, as far as I know, which would be quite resource-heavy.

What do you want people? Dracula could walk in the sun except he'd lose his powers if he did. This is EXACTLY what happens with vampires in NL.

I played the Hemlocks for a bit. The kids age normally, have normal needs etc. until becoming YA. The only vampire features I noticed were the vampire look and ability to drink from the plasma juice boxes, possibly also eat plasma fruits without the sick moodlet, but I didn't try that.

Good idea. I play with AM, all eps/sps, no other mods or CC, stalker swarm on. Computer is 4 cores, 4GB RAM, GeForce GTS 250. No problems for me.

All people who complain about lack of sims in clubs - how good is your computer? With slower computers the game will allow less non-player sims on a lot, which I know from experience since I played the game on a crappy computer and I see a huge difference on the new computer.
I didn't observe the clubs being deserted. There's usually 3-8 sims there, it looks like usual npcs per lot in the sims 3. If there were more it would probably result in even bigger route failing horror.

Anyway, I too observed a sim being unable to fulfill opportunity at the bookstore, while that same opportunity worked for another sim in the same household. I'm also disappointed that my sim's band never gets any gig invitations and I have no idea how I'm supposed to solve this issue.

I couldn't see any magnifying glass icon while rotating around the lot, that's why I assumed it was glitchy.

I believe it's been discussed before. The answer is yes. If you use AwesomeMod you don't need a crack so your game files are exactly the same.

Oh well, that explains a lot. I'm kinda disappointed that the "lessons" section neglected to mention it.

Major fail with investigator profession. Sims might get a case to search through sims' garbage on sims that live in a apartment and don't have garbage cans. I suspect more of such problems with the investigator profession.

I had a sim ask to be turned and she got stuck with "bitten" moodlet, but not turned into a vampire. I had to remove the moodlet and ask again for it to work.

Dunno, what problem is it to download and install? It's not like it sets your computer on fire. If it's not updated it will yell about version incompatibility.

Because it updates from any version of the game to the newest one, as opposed to normal patches which update from specific version to specific version (eg. from x.0 to x.2).
