.:IL - Sirens Addon ~ Sirens can Drink on Land:.

.:Land sharks but make them Vampires~

∆•∆•∆•∆•∆

Ok so this one was sitting in my library for basically years now. I created this addon with the help of Zero in tandem to his IL - Sirens Mod found here. I really loved the idea of blood drinking merfolk for storytelling/gameplay elements but  at the time hybrid mods for TS4 weren't as advanced as they are now.  And even with newer working hybrid mods, it's nice to have the blood drinking interactions contained to one occult without tacking on all the other junk that comes with vampires. This mod was perfect for someone like me. Well, almost perfect.

The blood drinking capabilities of these sirens were contained to the water only....

Until now.

This is one of my very first projects dealing hands on with modding the game files and I'm glad to be able to share this with you all today. I'm also eternally grateful to Zero as a creator and patient soul who taught me the basics of modding the sims leading to the lengthy journey of me creating mods for myself which in turn has allowed me to share some small, albeit hopefully fun enhancements to all of your games at home. I encourage you to check them out if you haven't already.

This mod adds the simple ability for the sirens from Zer0's mod to drink blood much like vampires.

.:Details~

THIS MOD REQUIRES THE XML INJECTOR BY SCUMBUMBO AND ZERO'S IL - SIRENS MOD TO FUNCTION

The threat of land sharks have never been more real with this small addon which slightly enhances an already captivating custom occult.  Sims on their holidays and day trips to the beach had best beware least they get hunted by a new type of plasma drinker~

The mod will contain the following edits to your siren sims:

∆ 2 cloned Revamped interactions

• Compel to Drink >> Gives the Siren a Happy buff and grants the victim an uncomfortable buff

• Compel to Drink Deeply >> Gives the Siren a Happy buff and grants the victim an uncomfortable buff 

These are simply cloned from the in game vampire interactions and will have similar effects with new flavour text I wrote in to spice things up. And naturally it will fill the thirst motive added by Zero's mod to appear on their custom siren lifestate.

.:How to Install

IMPORTANT: The mod will not work with the Original Zero_IL_Sirens_Thirst_NoHunger.package or the Zero_IL_Sirens_Thirst.package

Basically these are the files I've cloned and they have the same tuning so their package will override mine and prevent the interaction from showing. Insert all the other package file the mod has to offer but instead of choosing the optional packs, use mine instead. 

Drop the files into your mods folder as usual

The Gameplay Spoilers folder is simply a collection of images showcasing the custom buffs this mod adds. It contains spoilers for mood effects, buff strength, and their in game descriptions. Please do not add this folder into your mods folder

∆ Bugs

• None Known

∆ Conflicts

• Some vampire mods will grant buffs or cause effects recognizing sirens as vampires, such as Zero's Scared By Vampires and Vampires - Pass Out Animation Replacement mod. It's not game breaking for either mods but maybe immersion breaking. Or it can be seen as a cool little easter egg of your sims mistaking sirens for vampires if you're optimistic enough :)

.:Special Thanks

I cannot stress how far Zero has allowed me to learn and grow mod wise even if my projects are held together with glue and duct tape and not super complex.  I'm simply glad I can edit my game in ways I would have never thought possible and to further share some of those edits with you all. Many thanks to them and the various other patient helpers across the sims community who take the time to help small creators such as myself put my work out there <3
