@Rainydayz179 this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for challenge wise rather than legacy for my story telling.
I'll be using this as a guide only and using some of the challenge mechanics (challenge/fight/slay) to add drama and flavor I also like the human stable for the 'donors' (perfectly willing of course).
I may choose to actually play the game a bit more before starting as I was so excited after making my Vampire that I just moved her in with Vlad and started screenshotting and cheating moods etc for my story telling!!!
This makes me so excited. Also I didn't see a way to comment on your Wordpress blog. If you don't want comments mucking up your "rules" page maybe a link to a post we can comment on?
@cshaner You can't comment? I had no idea! Hope you have fun with the challenge. Let me know if you have any thoughts on the rules. I'm off to go figure out why it's not allowing comments.
@Rainydayz179 i can comment on your regular story posts! I was wondering if those rules were a page and not a post. You may just have to tick the 'allow comment' or something on the left side menu when you are in the page edit mode.

It's fixed. Yea it's a page so I can find it quicker. Just had to check comments. I assumed that it's an automatic thing because I've had comments on pages before.
@Rainydayz179 I think there is somewhere to have comments on by default I would say WP Admin probably! I like having it off by default because most times I don't want comments on pages. Usually I have them just as jumping off points to posts. (Chapter Index etc)
I'll go back and comment there on your blog as well!
It'll be a while because like I said I need to play with the game properly for a few days to figure everything out. Then I'll take my matriarch and begin the challenge.

No problem. You're giving yours more of a head start than I gave mine but truthfully she's not my favorite sim in the coven, Acheron is so I was eager to get him and the kids moved in and speeded things along with her. I also didn't want her to get too skilled that nobody would later be able to overthrow her if I wanted!
I have my Vampire Matriarch made but she's chilling in my Coven challenge save. I made a new save and dumped her into a new save just to run through Rory's master Vampire challenge to get the hang of them!
While at this moment I love my matriarch but I do kinda like the idea of her being over thrown maybe. Someday!! Haha.
@cshaner I'm glad you like it! I'd do Rory's challenge too but I'm already going to be doing mine and another with vampires so more would be overkill. Plus, I'll be posting 3 different challenge chapters a day starting today so it would really be overkill!
I'm totally into the idea of my leader getting overthrown. I think it would be cool to have the dynamic of the coven continually change. Also and most importantly it's the only real way to keep going for a long period of time without it getting stale and boring!
@Rainydayz179 Yeah I was thinking about that this morning. There has got to be change in the dynamics or play will get boring. I may Shift storywise how the power dynamic changes or just see what the challenge throws at me! Either way it will be a while until a power shift happens. more like Legacy in that respect that a generation arc sort of happens.

Yea, I don't know how long I'll wait to start the roll either. It might be sooner than I thought at first just to keep things interesting!
@Rainydayz179 on second thought I think I have the hang of the Vampires well enough I may not continue with Rory's challenge at this time.
What I may do is finish House 002 of my Drifters and then begin my Coven challenge. Not sure I could write both stories at the same time. I'll continue to give it some thought.
@misfit091376@cshaner I need to make a decision about how to handle these randomly generated townie vampires. I hadn't expected them when I wrote the rules. One of my coven members has a love interest with one. I definitely don't think they can join the coven because I think saw one in another save turn to mist so their skills might be higher than the main vamp and that's no good. I don't see any problem with dating one but what about breeding? It's a nice option for our female coven members to be able to breed outside of the coven but what about our male vamps? Should they be allowed to try for baby with them? Decisions decisions!
What if, the leader wants a particular kind of stock in her/his lineage. The stable females are ok and the vamps in the house are ok. You can "mess around" with outsiders, but there better not be any resulting lineage.
Edit: On second thought - you said breed outside for the females. Yes, fine - allow all procreation!
Edit2: On third thought - this does give females more options to breed...but perhaps that's the cost for the males, they can breed with the stable humans, but the females cannot - and this would be a way to increase the numbers if the females were breeding with vamps outside the house.
My thoughts might be - Dating for both genders yes. Woohoo for both genders yes, Try for Baby with outsiders - Female only.
Yep I agree.
Okay so I tested out the "hibernation" in casket thing and I think it would be a good punishment for getting caught feeding on a non-stable human. The decision I need to make now is how long should the punishment last? Originally the punishment was banishment but that seems very harsh to me and kinda takes some of the fun out of playing vamps really.

Sorry, was working on my toddler challenge I think that would be good as far as dating, woohoo, and try for baby goes. Um, maybe a sims week? That makes them miss their turn to feed in the stables...
