Vampire motives at work

[gynarchy]

If I exit the household while my vampire is at work, when I re-enter the lot he comes come with his motives looking like this:



His hunger and bladder are high because he ate and peed while at work. OTOH if I continue to play the lot until he comes home without exiting or visiting another lot in between, he returns with his motives at 3/4 full or more. I keep his coffin in the garage with his car so he doesn't need to go outside to the carpool to get to work. Is this normal vampire behavior? He ended up dying on his way to the energizer right after I took this screenshot. I'm guessing was sunlight exposure even though it was 10PM. I have all EPs and SPs and nearly all of my hacks come from here or are by TwoJeffs. HCDU shows nothing out of the ordinary.

Mighty peculiar, but generally related to the way the game recalculates motive decay on lot load, which likely sets it to the "outdoors" setting. It can be fixed, but probably not without causing a patch-style reset.

I only play this one household so a reset wouldn't be a huge problem for me. It would certainly be better than having a Sim standing by the energizer every night to plead with the Reaper in case he can't use it in time.

off topic, WTH is with that sim on the bar between the vampire and the runaway? Is that some sort of elephant man?

[gynarchy]

LOL no, no elephant man. Just a Servo going through his nightly werewolf phase.

ah, that explains it. I was wondering if it was some kinda default servo replacement XD neat
