More Awesome Than You!

I tried to set clock for my Sims to live at night, but they haven't met any aliens or vampires sofar. I have all of the EPs and the latest version to play is FFS.

Appreciating any advice.

they meet aliens by being abducted while using the telescope - lots of night time star gazing.

the vampires will show up on downtown lots at night, also.

Thanks for your advice.

But roughly when do my Sims have chance? They spent couples of weeks and maximized the logic skill by using telescope but nothing happened. And, my Sims still haven't seen any vampires, though they were managed not to sleep at night.

By the way, The Sim just can meet alien when he or she is alone at night? I heard male Sim can be pregnant with alien, lol. But, sofar I haven't seen it with my Sim. ???

If you want a higher chance of your sim being abducted, go down to twojeff's section and grab his hack to increase the odds of alien abductions.  Some people have almost none, and others get abductions all the time.

An adult male sim will come back pregnant from abduction, yes.

Further on, I created a neighbourhood, then attached it to Downtown (NL Ex)., so should I move my Sims to existing Downtown lots (NL Ex) in order to have chance with vampires?

You don't have to, you can tour the downtown community lots, you'll see one there.

Furthermore to begin with there are only two Vamps to begin with....they are very obvious as to who they are.  If you befriend them there is a chance they will bite you and turn you into a Vamp also....once one of your playable sims get Vamped..then the NPC Vamp will start biting other NPC turning them into Vamps also.

Weren't Grand Vampires four?

Also, I thought they started biting other NPC sims only after your controlled sim bit someone else...

One of your Sims has to be bitten by a Grand Vamp first, then they are free to bite others.  It's not just NPC's though, they will bite your Sims as well unless they have some sort of protection (there's some sort of garlic thing on MTS2 they can carry in their inventory as protection).  Without that, you need to keep careful watch on the Grand Vamps once they are free to bite - I had an elder turned the other day and had no idea until I saw her as a vamp in another sim's wants panel.  Sometimes I take temporary control of the vamp and stop the action if they are planning to bite someone I would rather they didn't, but usually I just turn my Sims back the next time I play their lots.  I won't let any of mine stay vamps unless they are childless, as kids older than their parents is something I just can't get to grips with!  So far the only permanent one I have is Jodie Larson, who was the first to be turned in my current Pleasantview.  I had loads of vamps in the old one, including Sophie Miguel, who was a zombie and a vamp most of the time as well, as she was married to one of the Counts.  She hated being a vamp so she bought vampilcillin by the bucketload and kept changing herself back.  Was quite funny really.

According to what I read, NPC Sims are also free to bite other Sims, but I've never once seen that happen.  I had about 6 NPC Sims in my original Pleasantview and not one of them ever attempted to bite anyone.  The Count continued to do so even after he was playable, so I had three of them at it because by then the spare Count had taken his place.  On average, every community lot I visited would have 4 or 5 vamps on it at any one time.

As for the abductions, if you want to force one, just turn debug mode on if you don't play with it on (boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true) and shift click on the telescope when one of your male Sims is using it.  You can then get them abducted and they will come back pregnant (as long as they're eligible - i.e., not too young or too old).  Alternatively, there is a telescope on MTS2 that guarantees an abduction everytime it's used.  I use TwoJeffs, the 'less' version (I was getting abductions everytime with the ordinary one).  So far in my current Pleasantview I have two aliens, the first being born to JMP.  In my old one I had 5 I think. 

I've noticed in my neighborhood, that the vamps prefer the Crypt-o-Nite Club. I usually get either the Count or the Countess after a few night visiting there. (That and it is one of my favorite NL lots)

I got the Count as a $5000 date for one of my Sims, as well. 3 lightning bolts. Convenient, since I wanted to make her a vampire.

Actually, whether or not the vampires bite you autonomously is pretty much random and has nothing to do with friends/not-friends, as it turns out. It's just totally random.

Yes, if you know what hair color your Count/ess has, make the turn-ons vampirism and their hair color and viola, $5000 date, the only person that fulfills those requirements SHOULD be the Grand Count.

Only time that might not work is if your sim has an unattractive personality/aspiration to the Count.

Turn-ons don't really do much, though they can push lightning bolts up a bit. One of this Sim's turn-ons is vampirism, but I can't even remember what the other is. She's romance, he's pleasure, and apparently she happened to have the right astrological sign too. I've never had three lightning bolts happen without at least one sign being attracted to the other, with no repulsion. I wasn't even trying for the count, I just wanted to get my romance Sim a date. Just happened that way.

The lifetime want of my Count Goopy is to marry off six children, by the way. WTF?

You know that's what I always thought.  I've felt the mutual friend option is much faster since getting them to bite you on their own can be very tedious.  Have another sim in the household get the vampire over to the house and then influence them to bite the other sim.  If the target sim lives alone, then play another house and invite the target sim and the vampire over at the same time.

If you happen to have OFB, you can use JM's awesome Customer Selector to force a meeting with a vampire. Just purchase some sort of buisness and use the Person State options to reject everyone but vampires.

Or you can use that other *coughinsiminatorcough* hack to select the lifestate of your sim without having to deal with those persnickity old counts and countesses. You can zombify them that way too ^_^

The NL special NPC's (The slob, diva, Mr Big and the vampires) are all generated as a random aspiration (in Count Goopy's case, family) but are then forced by the game to be pleasure sims. In the process, the LTW's are not changed.

If you're gonna cheat and choose the life state, don't use kitten killer. Just use boolprop testingcheatsenabled true shift click on sim and select "Make Vampire."

Easy cheesy.

Oh there is also a hacked objects at MTS2 that allows you to purchase a vampire potion.

Are you sure? I haven't checked any of the other special NPCs with SimPE or anything, but my Mr. Big, at least, is definitely a fortune sim.

So is mine.

The awesome (TM) college adjustor by TwoJeffs has the option to make your Sim a vampire, too.

I didn't see it mentioned here, but you need to use the expensive telescope in order to be abducted.

If they are, it's a forced change. They're forced to a specific aspiration by hamfistedly changing their original one, which leaves the LTW intact.
