Vampires Can Kill (Re-post, New Version)
Wolfgang's photo is kind of a tradition for this mod.
This mod requires the Core Library. Please read carefully the description!
UPDATES:
23/02/2026
Applied fix for sims adopting the dance posture when directed to use an interaction from this mod (fix also included in the unofficial patch)
Added optional file to stop cattle and servants from appearing as walkby (shared with black magic and expanded RoM)
DOWNLOAD (Curseforge)
Download (G-Drive)
MAIN FILE (Always Required)
STBL (Only pick one): PLASMA - BLOOD: you need at least one of these two. If you prefer vanilla definition of blood as plasma, pick the "Plasma" version. If you want a more realistic definition of blood as blood, pick the "Blood" version
OPTIONAL FILES: These files are optional and not needed for the mod to work, some can also technically be used without the main mod. Since this one will now be my main Vampire mod, I'll add more optional files in the future.
Vampires don't run away from Werewolves: will stop Vampires from running away when Werewolves turn.
If updating from an old version of the mod, follow these instructions, as the mod has been completely reworked:
Remove the old mod and load the game.
Make a clean save without the mod inside your mods folder
Quit the game, instal the new version
Load back your save, if you had Sims as Cattle in your old save, you'll have to turn those Sims into Cattle again.
Notice: if you experience the dancing bug (Sims starting to dance instead of running the drink animation) install this mod by Lot51. This is a well known bug with some cloned interactions.

FEATURES
Deadly Drink:
The basic feature of the mod is allowing Vampires to kill Sims with a bite.
First change of the new version: the mod doesn't override Maxis interactions anymore, the deadly interactions are all in their own category to avoid conflicts with other mods:
Interactions from this category are always deadly! Low level vampires might need to weaken the victim before attempting to kill them with a drink.
There is now a custom death:
With a custom ghost:
Some Sims react if they catch your Vampire killing another Sim:
Non Occult Sims, Aliens and Mermaids: might attack to slay a vampire who killed another Sim if they have the brave, adventurous, hot headed or good trait and relationship is below 60.
Werewolves: Maxis seem to have made them very people oriented so they always attack a Vampire who killed a Sim unless they have a very high relationship with them (above 80) or have the evil trait (Greg is excluded).
Witches: they attack with fire magic if they have the brave, adventurous, hot headed or good trait or are the Sage of Untamed Magic, they have more tolerance to it relationship wise (above 30 they'll not attack).
Other Sims will react with panic and run away both to deadly drinks and to regular Maxis drink.
Fear of Vampire:
Witnessing a Vampire drink or getting attacked by a Vampire can trigger the Fear of Vampires:
It pissed me off that there is a generic "Fear of the Dark" but no specific Fear of Vampires (or other occults) so I made one. It can only be solved by slaying a Vampire.
Cattle:
Vampires can turn Sims into Cattle to keep them around and drink from them when they need it, like in the old version of the mod. All vampires can tun Sims into Cattle during the New Moon. The "Manipulate Life Spirit" perk unlocks the ability to turn Sims into Cattle always.
Cattle have two custom motives and no social motive, they cannot socialise unless allowed to by their Masters. They also have a custom autonomy.
Plasma (or Blood, depending on the STBL you choose to instal) is what a Vampire consumes when drinking from a Cattle instead of energy like it happens for regular Sims. A Cattle doesn't die from critically low Plasma level, they just pass out, and there is no "recently bitten" limitation for drinking from them, but a critically low Plasma level starts consuming their Life Force. Plasma level goes back to normal if the Cattle is left alone, it goes up faster if the Cattle is well kept (hunger and energy high).
Life Force is what keeps the Cattle alive, pretty much like in the old version, this motive cannot be normally restored, once it's over, the Cattle will die. A Vampire can restore a Cattle's life force by feeding them their plasma, but doing so will block the ability to drink from that Cattle for a while. Vampires can also directly drain Cattle Life Force to restore Vampire Energy;
You can check on the Cattle's motives from the Manage Cattle menu:
Life Force also gets drained during a specific event that can only happen at night: the Cattle can get attacked by shadows as their defences are down and they're between life and death. A Vampire with resistance to sun can use the "Protect from Shadows" power on them at night to prevent this.
Cattle Levels:
There are 5 Cattle levels, they come with different emotions and autonomy.
Cattle doesn't have the full range of emotions a regular Sim has, they cannot have positive emotions and normally, they're either scared, sad or dazed depending on their level. Level 1 and 2 Cattle are scared, 3 and 4 are sad and 5 are dazed. Their level affects how likely they are to refuse following an order and how good they are at bringing in other victims.
Their appearance also changes on high levels.
The level goes up as you order them around, drink from them or use some powers on them. At level 5 Cattle can be turned into Servants.
Cattle Management:
You can give orders to Cattle:
You can either be nice or severe, how you decide to behave with them influences how fast they level up (and nope, I don't reward you for being nice). Aside from the regular stuff like cleaning up and repair stuff, you can also order them to go out and bring back other Sims:
This will send them to a rabbit hole and they'll come back with fresh victims:
What you do with the Sims they bring back is up to you! low level Cattle is better at bringing back victims as they're still more human!
Cattle can defy your orders.
Low level Cattle is more likely to say no to a direct order. When they reject an order, you cannot order them again for a while. It also unlocks the ability to punish them:
This is another power that makes them level up. A punished Cattle will not defy orders again for a while.
Cattle doesn't age as long as they're Cattle.
Servants:
Level 5 Cattle can be turned into Servant
Servants behave very much like a butler, they do stuff around the house autonomously, you can still order them to do specific things, they never fail at bringing other victims. They're undead, so there is no turning back from the Servant status, they can only be destroyed. (You can turn a Sim back from Servant only with my debug cheats). They don't have needs and they don't socialise:
They also don't age and give a skill bonus to vampires when they're around.
Turning Sims into Cattle:
In order to avoid the problems the old mod had, there are some restrictions and tests:
If the Sim has a house: they'll be automatically added to your family when you turn them. Sims whose household has more than one Sim but no other Young Adults, Adults or Elders cannot be turned:
For example is you try to turn a Sim whose household only has one YA and all pets, the interaction will fail
If the Sim doesn't have a house: they'll become roommates to prevent them from running away. If you have too many roommates one will leave. I didn't add tests to check how many roommates you have because there are mods that increase the cap. Same restrictions as before applies to households with more than one Sim and less than two adults.
Other occults cannot be turned into Cattle to avoid conflicts with motive bars, but you're welcome to try turning them!
When you turn a Sim into a Cattle, the Cattle automatically belongs to all the Vampires in the household. Some specific interactions can only be used by the original Master, but all the Vampires in the household can drink from them.
Freeing a Cattle:
Cattle can be freed by: another Vampire, a Werewolf bite, or the Rite of Ascension from a witch. The Masters will react to another Sim freeing their Cattle.
When you free a Cattle: if the Cattle had been added as a roommate, they're removed and they'll run away. If the Cattle had been added to the household, they'll be removed and they'll run away, it this case they'll become hidden households, you can get those sims back by inviting them into another household or unhiding them with MCCC. If the Cattle has a good relationship with the household, they'll stay either as roommates or as members.
NPCs and Autonomy:
(This is something I plan expanding when I'll have more time, right now I want to finish the other projects I put in hold to work on this mod)
You can enable autonomy on vampires on an individual sim basis in my cheats menu by shift-clicking on a Vampire:
There are also 3 NPC roles you can assign from Vlad's statue in the centre of Forgotten Hollow:
They follow Maxis premades set up for Forgotten Hollow and the purpose is giving more lore to the Vampire GP to bring it in line with RoM and Werewolves.
The NPCs roles come with custom autonomy:
Good Vampire (Caleb): will autonomously free every Cattle, will react if they see another Vampire turning a Sim into a Cattle. Cannot turn Sims into Cattle, cannot kill other Sims
Neutral Vampire (Lilith): will autonomously restore Cattle's life force. Will attack a Vampire who turns a Sim into a Cattle in front of them. Can kill other Sims but cannot turn them into Cattle. Sides with the Good Vampire NPC.
Grand Master Vampire (Vlad): the most interesting one (autonomy only enabled in Forgotten Hollow), the Grand Master vampire can and will autonomously turn Sims into Vampires or Cattle. So if you, for example, set Vlad for the role and visit him at his mansion, it could happen that he'll turn a Sim in your household into a Cattle and steal them from your family (the active Sim cannot be a target for this autonomy).
You can give these roles to played Sims and assign more than one vampire for the role, but you only need one for each. It's also a completely optional feature.

Sorry, Google Translate doesn't always translate what I mean to say. Sorry again for that. Thanks again.
Hello. I haven't received a reply to the message I sent three months ago. Furthermore, there is something even worse that I forgot to mention: after requesting and obtaining permission to drink the blood, I received calls criticizing me for having done so. Thanks again for your help.
Hi! I wanted to ask for some help. I’m having a problem with the mod: whenever my vampire Sim drinks from another Sim to kill them, the Sims start dancing. Is there any way to fix this?
Hi)) Thank you very much for the mod. Unfortunately, sometimes my sims are still dancing instead of drinking blood. Is there any way to fix it? The mod by Lot51 is nowhere to be found, when I am trying to open the wage, it says: "Blame it on the simulation lag. You are not authorised to open this page".
Lot51 mod is here or on curseforge https://lot51.cc/mods/cowpoke-wrangler/releases/2.0
Bonsoir, depuis quelques temps je ne peux plus tuer de sims en buvant, cette intéraction ratée...
Hi, quick question, the mod works great but it seems my vampire cannot drink blood to death or turn another sim into a cattle even with the perk unlocked, new moon and everything needed installed. Is there any reason of why is it that way? A conflict or something?
Hello. It's been a long time since we've been able to reveal to another Sim that we're vampires. For now, I don't see any other way to do it without doing something wrong in front of another Sim
Do this happen autonomously? If not would it be possible? I don't want it always to be my ow decision and I like random death and that NPC can kill :D And wonder if this will conflict with MCCC when I have it on here, that every vampire bite might turn sims to vampires.
Not sure if it’s this mod or another interfering, but when trying to drink blood to death, they do a silly little dance where their arms bend backwards and they don’t complete the action 😆 I so love this mod if you can please look into this that would be awesome!! Thank u
I've been noticing this too so I hope there is an update!
Could you link the core mod that overrides the dance bug again please? :) the link doesn't work unfortunately. Love your mods!!! Thank you for all you do!
when i look at the link it said cowpoke-wrangler at the end so i dowload this mods from lot51 but it still do a weird animation when i try to turn someone into a cattle. mine it is like they are dancing while playing volleyball with is so weird. i hope someone give the real name of the mods or maybe it is just a bugs with all my mods.
Does this mod still work? 6/3/2026?
I want to know too
Is this mod compatible with the latest update?
Everything is working but there is no Protect from Shadows option and they are so scared that they can't complete tasks.
I love this mod, but with it, i not able to turn someone into a vampire T.T, the animation stops when the vampire should give their blood
Hi,dear creator,I like this mod veryyyyyy much! I have a problem,when I try to change Vampire Cattle into a servent,it didn't succeed,and the Cattle showed it's free.The demand decays normally,and can get old.So I dont' know is there something wrong with my file or mod conflict?
I have an issue where, when I remove the mod, all Sims who were killed by vampires become alive again and walk around town. And they do not appear in the household editor.
My Sims starting to dance instead of running the drink animation. and the link to the fix is not working? any ideas what the link was?
I have this issue too, I hope he'll be able to fix it soon this mod is truly amazing when it works!
Hi. I have been using this mod for a while now (love it!) but recently the action to drink to death another sim isn’t working idk why… the mod is updated and the only other mods that I have that I could think that may conflict is lumpinous law and disorder
does this work with the new update?
It's been working for me.
Hi! Ive been following you for years :)! I recently came back to the sims and was looking for the Death Before Turning and No Sunlight Weakness mods, are they still available or have they been added to this one or a different one?
Your mod isn't working; none of the mod's options are showing up for me. It used to work, but it stopped working after a few updates. Please update it. And yes, in case you're wondering, I have the main library installed.
It's working for me.
hi,i tried your mod but when the vampires try to drink from the cattle or any other random sim,they instead do a glitchy dance :/ and then nothing happens
even with the fix?
nao funciona no meu por nada
Install the core library.
Just wanted to clarify, but is your immersive vampires mod discontinued? I’ve been looking for the old interactions where you can confess to being a vampire to family/friends and yours is the only one I’ve come across. 😓
So far, yes. There is an interesting "plasma sucker" scandal in the new EP though, so I might take advantage of that in the future but at the moment I'm more interested in making the game at least tolerable before going back to working on mods that add things to the game.
hi! is this compatible w a reason to slay?
Hello, I would like to install your mod. I would like to know which lot51 mod to download to remove the bug of the Sims that dance in your mod.
The fix is included in the mod now
The pass out animation replacement doesnt work is there a new version for this or is it included in any of the mods?
It's likely a conflict in your load order. If you have another mod that replaces the same interactions, that mod will not work.
where is the unofficial patch?
https://www.patreon.com/posts/150876053
hiii, im still experiencing this weird waltz bug even after downloading lot51 mod 😢😢
Use my unofficial patch, hopefully Lot51 will add the new dance posture. So far he hasn't, and that's what's causing the issue.
Hi, I'd like to know why my Sims do a waltz dance when I try to raise livestock. (I've already installed the core library).
Cause maxis didn't add a cost to the dance posture and some interactions use it when they're not supposed to. Since the problem also breaks some vanilla systems the fix for it is included in my unofficial patch.
There is a new issue due to the Royalty and Legacy pack. Drinking from Cattle results in the new Waltz dance similar to when the Life and Death pack came out with its ghost dance. Moreoever, there has been an issue with interaction stuttering there vampire and cattle will stare at each other unless a prior interaction has happened beforehand. Could you test this issues and see if it's an universal problem or just on my end?
Already fixed in the unofficial patch (for other reasons, it also breaks the loud noise situations in city living, NPCs start dancing instead of completing the event), the dance posture has a cost of 0 as usual.
Hi! Can you please update this mod for 2026 Royalty and Legacy path?
It works for the patch. I won't support anything new EA publishes for this game besides Walkby Overhaul because I don't want their new packs and that one is the only mod that won't force me to keep them.
I have noticed one funny issue with thralls: when you select "turn into cattle," they do an awkward waltz, but do not actually turn into cattle. Must be something with the new X-Pack!
I think it's a posture, there are some added by recent packs that are causing issues in the unmoded game too (the ghost trait from the woohoo gets given to NPCs because they can use a posture) but I'm still testing it.
love ur mods so much. I rely on them for my best occult gameplay.
just installed this and its soo good, so much love and details went into it. Makes vampire gameplay much more fun! Thanks for your work
not sure why, but lately, every time my vampires try to autonomously drink from someone, they & the other person just stand there staring at each other, & they don't actually bite them 🤔 EDIT: Don't know if this will help pinpoint the problem, but I finally can get it to work again after removing the 'replace plasma with blood' file & then cancelling it out every time my vamp tries to autonomously drink. when i cancel it out, the vamp then can drink again on their own. but if i don't cancel, they just get stuck in a staring contest with their victim. very odd
with me my sims are unable to turn anyone into cattle. it turns into a staring contest. Hopefully lovely zero will fix this on his own time. love this mod.
I just finished working a Cattle up to level 5 and I'm trying to turn her into a Servant. I do the thing, but right after the vampire bites her, but before she feeds the Vampire Cattle trait goes away and she gains a moodlet about being freed. If I try to do anything with her it shows her as having just been freed. The animations then continue through, she bites his wrist, she collapses, she goes through the vampire turning animation and there is a notification that she's been made a Servant and then nothing. She's not a servant. Also, there appears to be no Trait for being a Servant. Not sure if there's supposed to be. If I try to use the cheat to force her to become a servant after this whole situation it appears to do nothing at all. However, if I use the cheat to force it on a different sim that was never a Cattle it works just fine on them. There doesn't seem to be a way to cheat them from Cattle directly to Servant, unless I'm missing something.
Confirmed this is an issue with Teen Cattle. Cattle also don't age, so they'll never age up to Young Adult without cheating. Young Adult convert to Vampire Servants without issue.
does it work on the current game version?
when I attempt "turn into cattle", or "drink blood to death" a can't get there sign pops above my sims head and the two interacting sims perform what looks like the volleyball animation. I have no made what this is about the mod worked fine when ii first downloaded it and I haven't added any new mods since.
In duels, both vampire and sorcerer duels, the Grim Reaper glitches and only appears without actually taking the dead... she just stands there, unable to interact with her, and only starts working again after debug... also, the death by poisoning from drinking a werewolf's blood the same way, the Grim Reaper just appears and does nothing... ;-;... apart from that, all the other functions are working perfectly, as far as I'm concerned.
Is this mod up to date with the current sims version?
Do we know if this is compatible with a reason to slay by onemorekayaker?
I don't know.
where immersive vampire mod?
It's been left behind, I haven't had it in game in a while. Each time I try reintroducing mods one by one to update them, EA releases a new fucking patch and I have to start over updating the ones I already reintroduced so I haven't gotten to that one yet.
When i try to transform a sim into a cattle, the animation start but not complete, both characters just stay facing each other. Someone have some ideia how to solve this problem?
Workaround: You have to choose it twice, then delete the first one and the second one will start.
This is my favorite mod for dark storytelling. I eagerly look forward to the next update so we can use it again!
Please update this amazing mods to 1.19 version pleasee.
I love this mod! is there an update coming for this one soon?
When I convert a Sim into a servant, they are automatically freed from being a cattle. What can I do to prevent this from happening?
Servant and cattle aren't compatible with each other, the UI would get messed up. That's why converting into servant removes the cattle status.
I'm trying to find that old spellcaster spell you made, the one that can free a sim from being cattle? Does it still exist?
It should still be around somewhere... I had forgotten about that. I don't have it in game right now, I'll add the option back into this mod because the old one will not work with this version of the mod.
Any plans on updating this mod for at least the enchanted by nature pack? Or is this a killed mod
I haven't even played that pack yet.
Hello! I downloaded the mod and the injector, I tried to find someone else with my problem but I havent found anyone. The prompts show up, I can click it and my sim will walk over to the other sim, but no interraction happens and the action never ends, so I have to cancel it. I deleted and redownloaded the mod and the injector shows up in game so I dont think it is the source of the issue. Thank you in advance if you can help me :)
That seems like some version of the dancing bug. Try installing the mod by lot 51 linked in the post
Love the mod! Quick question. What is the sanguine bond about?
Sanguine bond is an interaction between 2 vampires and is really cool for storytelling!
Is this mod updated
I've yet to install the latest patch. I haven't been at home lately. I'll probably do it tomorrow to at least check the files.
Hey hey, i been loving this mod for a long time now, but i had a little idea for a vamp and it seems like i cant do it with this mod, I have gone and gotten the reclaimed humanity trait fro that aspiratiuons as part of my murderous vampire cover as a all so good vamp, but now i cant drink till death. Is there any way i can disable that? cause i would very much want to keep the aspiration trait haha! but i also wanna kill :D
Got to say, I love this mod! This along with the Bloody Bites and Wounds mod by MizoreYukii (when it worked, apparently it broken now) and the Dracula Untamed mod by ilkavelle my vampires are living their best undead lives. Thanks!
Hey,i have a problem can u help me? I downloaded ur mod for the first time and when i click turn into cattle, my sims are starting to kiss lol. same with killing a sim
Yeah it's a common bug with some postures. The kissing one is likely from a different mod, for the dancing fever get this one https://lot51.cc/mods/cowpoke-wrangler
Is there a restriction that prevents Morgyn Ember from being 'cattled'? Moved them to a lot with another YA sim, no pets or anyone else and no option to turn into cattle. Also made them human, still nope. No issues with other sims just Morgyn.
All Spellcasters are prevented from being cattled because the UI for the cattles would conflict with the Spellcasters motive panel. They should react if you try to make them into a cattle. If you made him human and the interaction is still not appearing then the problem is another, Morgyn doesn't have a special trait that identifies him in game and allows testing stuff for him specifically.
July 2025 Patch Fixed interactions not working because all sims are allegedly pregnant; I still have this problem. I deleted all the old files and re-downloaded. The problem still exists.
Check that you don't have another mod overriding the vampireCanDrink testset. Maxis rolled back that change in the testsets anyway so the problem should be fixed by the patch they released a couple of weeks ago to fix pregnancy mods. Try updating the game to that patch.
Hi! I know you mentioned that you already corrected the problem with every sim "being pregnant", but I'm still having the same issue, even tried to remove every pregnancy mod I have to check it, but I still can't turn to cattle, or drink deeply etc because everyone "is pregnant"
You have another mod that is overriding the Vampire_CanDrink testset by Maxis. Mine doesn't, the custom testset is fixed but some of my interactions use the standard one from the game.
I have been using this mod for years and its always been an essential mod for me and I just downloaded the updated version of this mod (haven't played in 6 months), but now the option to drink, turn or create cattle isn't working. It says that you can't drink from a pregnant sims. This is on all sims, male or female, and definitely not pregnant. I have tried removing all other mods and testing in a new file and its still saying the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm aware of it. It's caused by the latest patch. I'm testing other stuff at the moment. I'll get to this one too.
Hi! New to this mod and Patreon. I've been having some troubles - when a vamp selects 'compel for flirty/dazed/etc drink' they turn into ghosts and disappear and when they reappear there isn't any evidence of the vamp taking a drink/the victim being bit - tried downloading the dancing bug fix file above and it was the same outcome. Also completely missing the 'turn into cattle' option - all other drink options are available and the vamp has the required perk, moon is right etc. I've removed and installed a few different versions of the mod and this remains the same. I've tried assigning them via the statue and the siblings have a strong dislike for them because of it, but still didn't work. But yeah just trying to get the cattle bit to work. Thanks for helping out this idiot :)
This is the absolute BEST mod and now Vlad is a real Dracula!! Plus now everyone who went to my Vampire Nightclub has the vampire fear and they're teaming up to keep Vlad dead. I can't seem to make cattle though! Or at least, it only appears intermittently, and often deletes between saves (like I save game, exit, then the next time I load the game they're no longer cattle!). Is there an update coming, or a page with troubleshooting? Thank you so much for all your hard work!
One of the things I used to love about the previous version is "Drink Uncontrollably" killed the sim, which meant monitoring vampire sims thirst meters used to be very important otherwise there was a big chance you'd kill a sim you care about. As the new version uses new interactions, the drink uncontrollably interaction is back to the default outcome of energy failure, would it be possible to have an option to allow deaths from this interaction again when they're at low thirst?
I can make that into a little tweak.
Try as I might, the "Zero_VampiresCanKill_STBL_Blood.package" does not override the word plasma. Your other mods, like the Premade holidays and reverse inclusivity work, but not the plasma -> blood.
It's not supposed to. It's only the strings for the mod not to override Maxis ones.
Hello, it's been a long time since I updated the vampire mod and now I did the update and now it is no longer possible to propose a transformation into a vampire in friendly, and I wonder if it is possible to remove the blood link from a sim because I just saw that we can only do it on a sim. thanks in advance
For anyone wanting the Brainblasted injector, it is broken. I got LEs for it and searched for an update. All I found were players discussing the errors and found it mentioned on mod updates (for Nov. 1) claiming it "Broken"
Andirz has updated the brainblasted injector https://www.patreon.com/posts/updated-tools-115719096
Love this mod, great to have vampires with some menace to them. With the new ability to create ghosts in CAS, would be awesome if eventually we could pick the Death by Vampire option there too! Also, thanks so much for all your hard efforts on all these latest rounds of patch updates!
It's already in cas
Hi! It says I can't make cattle since I regained my humanity. How did I regain my humanity?How can I lose my humanity again so that I can make cattle? Thank you!
Regained humanity is a trait Sims get from completing the good vampire aspiration. It shows in the UI and you can remove it with UI cheats extension.
Thank you! Sims 4 is not kind to vampires and at least they can go back to in-your-face vampires again!
Hi! Thank you for the vampire mods! so much work!!!!!! you always think these through, i'm in awe. nevertheless I have your old "vampires can kill" mod and i think i will keep that one because i prefer the simpler cattle gameplay. Is it normal that my cattle sim is burned by sunlight? can i disable this? thank you again for your work!
Yes it's normal, and can't be disabled. I don't even have that version anymore so it's not something I'll change.
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that none of the interactions with the Drink blood to death and Turn into cattle are working. Would you be able to look into it please? Also I love your work, I have many of your mods.
Love the mod it adds great features. I have a cattle bonded to my vampire but there is no manage cattle option. The cattle also still has the social bar instead of the plasma bar. Also he option for deadly drink isn't showing up but they do die if I drink too much. Love the features and just wanted to know if I had to do something to have these options show up.
Seems like the required trait and relbit weren't added to the cattle correctly for some reason. You can try to fix it by using the cheats on the cattle and trying to bond them again or by removing the mod temporarily, loading the save, saving the game, adding the mod back and restarting from scratch.
I have an issue where my master vampire can't make cattle. The option is there but when I click on it, it goes into the queue and then disappears. The most my vampire will do is stand in front of her target or show the "I can't go there" thought bubble. I've tried emptying out my mods folder and having just this mod and the required others, but nothing is working. Does the interaction require a lot of space, does it need to happen outside?
Did you try running the interaction with another vampire?
Cool mod, many thanks. Are there any special conditions I have to meet to resolve the "fear of vampires" through "Slay a Vampire" ? I made the Ultimate Vampire Cure and it's in the inventory, I'm talking to a vampire but there is no "Slay" option. Sim is a teen if that matters. I did not update the very latest Sims 4 Game from Feb 28th, but up to date from before that. I assume the Lot 51 install is correct, it's the latest, and the script injector test says its good... Oh I found it, its because the sim is a teen, aging up made the option appear.
Slay is a maxis mean interaction (under mean) that comes up on low relationship (I think) I'm not sure if for teens it can only be performed on other teens like the fight one.
Hello! Was just curious if this was compatible with the latest patch? Huge fan of your works <3
yep, thanks
the mod stopped working two (or so) days ago for me :( does anyone else has the same problem?
Perfect! Thank you for your fast reply <3
Hi Zero! Is this compatible with the Vampire Slayer Mod from Ilkavelle?
It has no overrides so it's compatible with everything
For some reason I cannot make cattle... it has the option, but whenever i try it fails. I have the perk 'Manipulate life spirit' yet it still wont work for me. All help really appreciated :)
Does the interaction run at all?
I thought you could drink from other vampires with this mod? or was it removed with new update?
I removed when I remade the mod, I've yet to add it back.
does this work with the child vampire mod?
No. It will not affect children. But it will not conflict.
Love this mod!! I was wondering something though, how do things work with cattle and pregnancy? Can I turn a pregnant sim into cattle? What happens if they get pregnant? What happens to the baby when they give birth? Thanks!
i can't get the options to drink plasma
Have you correctly installed the core library?
This is super impressive and I'm grateful that you put so much work into making this. Have you considered making an alternative version/optional add-on that will enable the full range of emotions for cattle? While I like the roboticness of these new cattle, I have a romance story going between a vampire and vampire slayer-turned-cattle that requires more consciousness on the side of the cattle, so it does put a damper on that. Thanks again for all your work!
I think there's some sort of bug with the cattle interactions. For some reason, I can only make a sim my cattle if I use cheats. Drinking from them and trying to turn them the normal way never gives me cattle interactions and relationship changes. I removed all other mods, but it persists. Any ideas?
I finally got around to test this out! I really love this mod, and I loved the old version too. So far the only issues I have found is, when you turn a homeless sim to cattle, they become your roommate. I have a basement dedicated to cattle with beds and stuff, but they keep saying "I haven't gotten any sleep, I'm leaving" so they leave in a couple of days. Also, I can't really use the cattle options on my new "room mates", I can just turn them to cattle over and over again lol. I looked away for a second after letting Caleb in (my b) and he ran down to the basement and freed the cattle I had added to my household, the cattle yelled "freeedooom" and ran up the stairs but didn't leave the house or the household. So he just became my nanny until he died from old age two days later (I actually made him cattle to prevent him dying from old age, I wasn't ready to say good bye to Don Lothario!) Otherwise, I'm actually enjoying playing with vamps again, haven't done that in a while. Thank you! Now I'm gonna try and find the vampire engagement ring lol
For some reason my vampire sim no longer has the option to turn sims to cattle. It was only there for a brief part of the game play, did I do something wrong?
Hi Zero is there a way disable cattle option? Or do you think you would ever add a future option to erase relationships levels like the original manipulate life spirit did? Not sure if that is possible to do both. Thanks in advance and thanks for all the great mods you create!
This mod doesn't override the "manipulate life-spirit" interaction anymore, it's all custom now, you can totally avoid using the Cattle function.
The only suggestion I can make to improve this mod for the next version is that I wished that freed cattle had after effects. It's a pretty horrendous experience to be cattle and I think they would have random fears, and other moods ie anger, sadness- for quite a while afterwards. They wouldn't just get over it once they were freed.I even set up a rehabilitation house for them lol.
it already has a very high chance to trigger the fear of vampires.
I've been playing with this a while, and it really transforms game play. especially the autonomy and cattle functions. So many aspects of this mod so well thought out- thank you.The only problem I had was with cattle added as roommates sometimes disappearing. Not as reliable an option as when cattle are added to household.
about the cattle, I turned one sim into cattle but she had constantly terrified buff many days and she kept only crying from fear and did nothing else, I come tired from it, I dont see it useful at all, if they cant live and do anything else except crying??
is it still possible for vampires to drink without getting a bad rep for it, like in the older version of this mod if no other sims are present, when another sim is compelled?
Thanks-so glad to try this again. Some quick questions. What happens when another sim fights a vampire after seeing them kill someone? Is it a fight to the death? What will help a non vampire sim win against a vampire? Also, I had this mod in my game previously and play in one save. I removed it months ago. Do I need to do anything special when re-installing it? Lastly, I have mod that removed all fears because EA made them SO annoying. Will this create a conflict with the Vampire mod, because you are introducing a new fear?
The fight that happens as a reaction is a custom one and it's always a "slay vampire with garlic", meaning the non vampire is advantaged from the beginning. The vampire usually wins the same, but still has a fairly high chance of being slayed. Since I still used maxis outcome, what happens to the vampire depends if you have a mod that modifies that outcome like mine to make the vampire die with the vampire cure, in that case the vampire dies; if you have vanilla outcome the vampire is cured from vampirism. As for the installation, if you saved since you removed the old mod, then the new version is safe to install without further steps. The new fear is completely custom, so no it will not create a conflict.
One of my sims cattle, a genius, kept getting the idea of making a cure potion and "slaying" her vampire. As level 4 she got everything together, talked her master into getting a bar. Master paid no attention to the garden and had no idea what was in the fridge. Fighting wasn't going to work out, so she formed a group with master and got him to drink the potion. We reloaded the save. With the vampire cured, my cattle found that she was still a cattle, but the once vampire couldn't do anything about it. Because he didn't allow socializing, she couldn't even speak to anyone.
Can happen some times, especially if you have a lot of mods in game and the script is falling behind, that's why I put two cheats to fix problems like this. Enable testingcheats on, shift click on the cattle and from my cheats menu select "free cattle"
hello. asking on behalf of a friend who can't comment on your posts: she says that the option for vampires to bite other vampires is no longer an option, and it was a very important aspect in her gameplay. was removing it an oversight or a deliberate choice, and if it's the latter, maybe you could return it as an addon or something?
I removed is at a choice but I can add it back in an optional package is someone needs it in their gameplay! I'm a bit busy lately but I will as soon as I'll have time
Hey zero I noticed that when I make a sim into cattle the interaction to assign a side of the bed no longer appears on beds. Loving the new gameplay from this mod, just thought I’d give you a heads up.
To assign it to the cattle? They have most social interactions blocked. I'll check
Wow, you made an impressive mod even more impressive. This mod is the only thing that will make me play with Vampires.
Thank you so much for your hardwork!
Forgot to say, I also like the new way you format your mods posts, with the optional files directly being added here and the update history being on a dedicated page. It all feels clearer.
I don’t understand why I can’t turn sims into cattle or a deadly drink on sims it just grayed out saying my vampire sim regained humanity I don’t understand what that means
Your sim completed the good vampire aspiration and has the trait "regained humanity" which I blocked from killing and turning Sims into cattle for coherence. Try another vampire.
Dang this new version is SUPERB
This is even better than I could have hoped! Thank you so much for all these new interactions and reactions. Cannot wait to play vampires again.
I think the previous version needed the Death Interactions Shared Tuning file. Is that no longer needed?
Nope... This new version uses a custom death for everything!
