VAMPIRES - Reworked Vampires Mods
🕑 Added 2022-10-28 10:30:10 +0000 UTCI was never happy with some of my smaller Vampires mods so I decided to rework them, also to remove unnecessary overrides, I'll put everything in here.

Vampire Power Tweaks
This is meant to replace two of my old mods posted here: block powers by day and daytime drains energy. It's more fleshed out than my old mods, has no overrides and takes the gameplay into consideration more.
1. Vampires are kind of boring to play because their energy doesn't go down unless you use powers, so they end up staying awake for days. With this mod, their energy will go down during the day, normally very fast, to force them to sleep. Having the sunlight resistance perk unlocked will reduce the decay but will not stop it, their energy will still go down twice as fast than human energy, on the positive side, their energy will go up very fast as soon as the daylight is out, to force them awake by night. This also affects vampire children and toddlers, their energy too will go down faster than humans by day and up faster than humans by night. Vampires with the sunlight resistance can temporary block the decay with dark meditation.
Can be disabled on individual Sim with the cheats.
2. Vampires are also a bit overpowered especially on high level, the mod blocks vampire powers completely if outside during the day, they still can use them inside. Vampires with the sunlight resistance can temporary unseal the powers by day.
Can be disabled on individual Sim with the cheats.
3. Vampire children and toddlers don't really feel like vampires at all. I don't like mods that unlock vampire powers on them because then they don't feel like children anymore. So I just gave them a sunlight buff when outside under the sun, the kids too will be uncomfortable (or sad in the case of toddlers)... it won't kill them or anything. they will also avoid being out under the sunlight.
Can be disabled on individual Sim with the cheats.

Cheats:
The cheats package only contains the pieMenuCategory, the interactions are inside the mod. I made it standalone because I plan putting cheats from other mods I'll do under the same category to not have 200 of them for each small mod.

Hi, I find that when my vampire sim goes to work at the evening in the criminal career and comes home at night i get the message "vampire powers wont work during day" If i restart the game it fixes it.

I know! I had never noticed either before working on this one that energy doesn't go up much by day for vampires while sleeping in a bed, that's maxis! It's the reason we have coffins. The mod isn't active during sleep. That's the reason I gave them a huge boost to the recovery as soon as it's night because it goes up at the same rate as regular energy by night while sleeping in a bed in vanilla. I didn't touch thirst, that's the same as energy in vanilla, it goes down at a different rate depending on the unlocked perks on the vampire. During my testing Caleb's was going down pretty fast, Lilith's wasn't. I wanted to make it faster too but I need to look into what's affecting it first.

Thanks for this, it's making University quite a challenge! A couple of observations, Thirst appeares to be quite slow going down and sleeping in the day doesn't appear to effect Vampire Energy, not sure if it should.

These mods look great and should make vampires a lot more fun - thank you! And thank you for letting the vampires use their powers inside during the day. π My vampire home is so huge, I'd go nuts if the vampires couldn't change into bat/teleport as mist/speed run to get around.

I don't think children and toddler are supposed to be occults at all yet in vanilla game, I don't know what logic they used besides not wanting to bother much since the game is really balanced for a short lifespan and those stages are very short.

Thanks for that. Having totally unlocked powers on toddlers and children doesnΒ΄t make much sense to me but them having some quirks and developing powers is good too. Occult toddlers and children should not feel like regular ones. NateTheLoser has a nice one for quirks that are fun to play with - https://www.patreon.com/posts/68072219. Maybe children can start to unlock lesser powers or be needing plasmafruit/getting sick from regular food? It would up the challenge in raising occult children too. But thanks anyway. Your occult mods are wonderful to play with. Take care.
