Triggering a Vampire Break In - Success!
It would be nice if a break in happened for a current story. I've tried increasing my chances by having a solo sim with no pet, making sure she is in bed between 10pm-3am, she has investigated vampire secrets so much she is now level 15 in it. She knows some vampires and uses all the vampire chat options with every one she meets. It's been an in game year now and nothing. Is there anything else I can do to increase the chances?
I do have a mod that could trigger one but that kind of spoils the fun for me.

Gawd, I miss the good 'ol days of being surprised with a creeping 🐸🐸🐸🐸 in my bedroom.
At least I don't see them breaking in community lots creeping around oddly enough.
Thank you, I'll try sending her to bed earlier. Here's hoping!
The people who still complain about "extremely frequent" break-ins are either lying or are over exaggerating and mistaking a "break-in" for when vampire NPC's turn up at their sim's door-step of a night time for a random visit, which isn't technically a break-in, it's a neighbourhood interaction. There are a difference people! JFC, this topic still gets my goat.
One thing that helps with having Vampire activity in the world is to make clubs (if you have Get Together) and set their activities to drinking plasma and choose what type of hangout they will appear in, like night clubs or bars. If you make a few different Vampire clubs you can set more locations and you'll start seeing debauchery everywhere and won't be controlling their feeding. I had one of my played Sims get bitten this way at a night club and I found the chaos very enjoyable.
Now this is a good idea, I might just do this in my next save.
@LiELF I need to stop being lazy and make those clubs. DO they gather automatically when Im not controlling them?
@CelSims They did for me. This was fairly recently, too. I had my Dracula and three Brides form a club and set them to gather at night clubs and drink plasma. I went on to play other households and it was probably a couple of (real life) weeks later, I brought a Sim out club hopping (I believe it was a Spellcaster) and suddenly the Vampire club showed up, changing in and out of bat form to get around, and started feeding on club goers, dropping some of them to the floor, passed out. I was actually surprised, I had forgotten I had set them up to do that. I took my Sim away from them but Dracula appeared out of nowhere and bit him anyway, lol. I was actually trying to avoid it but still pleased that it happened.
I don't think they'll show up at every marked venue, it's more of a chance. I have several themed night clubs and bars in my game, and they appeared at the Alien club. But you can also set groups to meet at a specific location, so if you had a few venues in mind you could make a few small Vampire clubs and set them to each meet at one of those places.
So basically, my Spellcaster went to an Alien night club and got bit by a Vampire. For me, that's a good game session. 😁
Success!
He came into the apartment and hypnotized her, then they both went outside for the feeding. It triggered at around 11pm. My sim had spent the day spamming vampire socials with her son, (I got bored so she had a baby). Now I'm set up for her son to become a vampire hunter \o/
Which come to think of it is awkward as his grandma is one heh.
Oh wow I didn't know you can do this!!! Thanks!
Nice! Glad to see your Vampires getting the food they deserve.
1. Make sure you unlock the doors to yoyr house at night
2. Add Vampire Hangout Lot trait (or something like) to your sim's home lot. That should also increase the chance of breakins without mods
2 of those break ins have been in apartments which I don't play in much.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I'll have to start doing the tricks mentioned in this thread
I did this a while back while also having a mod installed that made "drain life spirit" deadly. The club was set to only meet at the designated vampire nightclub so I'd forgotten about it until I took a sim there one night...carnage. It was glorious.
I have entirely stopped playing with pack because frankly it just isn’t very much fun anymore. I feel like I should get a partial refund on the price too. Since I paid for key features in particular and now they have been removed without my consent after I paid for them.
