AM is Borking Vampires.

[Chaavik]

Or have Grand Vampires go on a biting rampage to turn half of the customers on a community lot into vampires before dawn.

[J. M. Pescado]

No, that part was stupid and we got rid of it with Awesomeware. Besides, that sort of happens anyway...only now, the sims turning into vampires never get bitten by anything at all, they just suddenly turn into vampires like it's some sort of strange, contagious disease.

[Chaavik]

Can there be zombies in TS3? I want them to run around wreaking havoc on the poor unsuspecting Sims AND vampires? I miss Zombie Apocalypse.

[Soggy Fox]

The whole bursting into flames thing isn't mythical, so I have no problem with them just being weak and miserable in sunlight.....  But sparkles >.> *shudders* Ick

I was fully prepared to go on a blood sucking rampage until I found out you have to get friendly with the victim and then ask them if you can bite them.  A bear doesn't ask you if it can eat you before it eats you.

EXACTLY!  They ought to at least be able to bite/drink from whatever random stranger they encounter in order to survive...

But considering that I played one of them for only a couple days and he managed make something like 6 or 7 vampire babies, that particular instance of Bridgeport is pretty much vampire central now. I haven't been playing that fambly for a while now...just don't want to deal.

I kinda miss the 'bleh'...it was stupid in a Mel Brooks kind of stupidly funny way...or maybe that's just me?

Quite so.  I was hoping you'd get on with it, myself.  Dark Trepie is the only vampire in my Twinbrooks hood, and he does nothing except work and collapse on the floor.  No vampires populate the vampire lounge, and certainly nobody is drinking anyone else (at least not in the vampire way, to my knowledge).  Perhaps if I have Dark Trepie buy the vampire lounge, it would at least lend some credence to the name.

This appears to be a problem with everyone.  It's frighteningly common for me to switch to another household and find everyone passed out in a puddle of their own pee and starving.  There's a couple in my current Bridgeport stuck in an eternal "Tour City Hall" with "Expire" in their queue.

Have you ever actually toured City Hall? I mean the real one in your own town? That's a feature, not a bug.

I'm touring it now, even as we speak.  Please send food.

I hate both twilight and true blood.. if it weren't obvious by my name, I'm an Anne Rice vampire fan.  I prefer the old pile of dust as soon as they hit the sun vampires, where only the ancients who are over 1,000 years old can tolerate it.  So yea.. i pretty much hate everything about the Late Night Vamps, lol.  It gave me something to do though.. I went and downloaded some weapons from MTS and went on a shooting spree, cleansing Bridgeport of all the fairy vampires (aside from the mixologists for plasma that keep respawning.. I may have to burn that building down to completely eradicate them). 

All is right in the world! ^_^

[jezzer]

The only thing impressive about Anne Rice's vamps is that she managed to take her head out of her ass long enough to write umpteen novels about her beloved Mary Sue, Lestat.

[Mekare]

Not true! She said sometime before, maybe multiple times, that Lestat was based on herself... or her alter ego. Therefor she was writing umpteen novels about herself. =)

Either way, i'm a fan of the books, not the lady. Head up her ass or not, the woman is a great storyteller.

You haven't the slightest clue what the term "Mary Sue" means, do you?

[Mekare]

No, I don't.. ^^

ETA: ok, looked it up.. now I do!

Though I did like Lestat..

[Moryrie]

Lestat is a whiney emo. The only book he's good in is the first one, and that's before you know he's a whiney emo, because you think he's a psychopath instead.

[MissKitty]

No, I don't.. ^^

ETA: ok, looked it up.. now I do!

Some people do like to read about other people's Mary Sues, which is why it's still feasible to churn them out. Heck, some Mary Sues can even be enjoyable to those of us who don't normally like Sues, if they are done particularly well or at the very least are doing interesting things. I don't recall Lestat really fitting either criteria (at least after the first book).

But I admit that I also liked Lestat / Anne Rice as a 12. And I also have an internet handle (in other places, didn't dare use it here ) that stuck because of it. Fortunately, I eventually grew out of it.

Urge to buy Late Night decreasing. DX

I loathe breeding vampires. They're undead ffs, they can't have babies.

And aren't they more likely to bite someone expendable who they don't know than bite a friend and risk killing them?

So funny how the babymaking is always what people get hung up about. Why shouldn't they be able to breed when they can walk, talk, and do all kinds of other crap? Infertility seems a bit too convenient and is far too often used as a cheap source of wangsting, because omg you can't be happy without ze babbys. I'd rather see a vampire wangst about how annoying it is to use rubber for hundreds of years because they don't want babbys and STDs still itch, and how that time with the syphilis was especially bad.

Ramble aside, there are other things to LN than the vampires. Like, empty clubs, for instance. And boring bands that don't really get any gigs. >_>

Stuff is borked, but I still kind of like it. I must be a glutton for punishment. Or maybe I just have too much faith that Awesomemod will eventually fix everything.

  I feel the same way.

[J. M. Pescado]

Empty clubs should be somewhat reduced with the removal of the DDoS factor where club visitor slots were being DDoSed with randomly selected visitors who are not actually allowed in the club.
