The latest Sims 4 update allows vampires to date, which raises an interesting question. Is marriage to a vampire considered a wedding or funeral?
“One of you is dead after all. Ok, ok… let’s not get into the dead vs undead debate,” SimGuruGnome writes in the latest patch notes.
The new patch fixes a bug that didn’t allow Sims to plan their wedding event with a vampire Sim. Per usual, the notes came with jokes.
“Technically — as for your determination of their date-ability, well, that’s on you. I wish you a happy twilight, and a merry nosferatu.”
Dating a vampire does come with downsides. If they don’t turn you into a vampire, get ready for a lifetime of involuntary blood sucking… while you sleep, while you’re cooking spaghetti and meatballs or watching a movie. However, it could come with some upsides too.
You can’t die if you’re already dead...
So if you’re a normie Sim marrying a vampire, may as well plan your funeral too. Once you go vampire, you never go back.
In addition to the vampire bit, there’s an array of quirky bug fixes, such as the corporate fridge now allowing vegetarian BLT sandwiches.
“The Corporate Fridge Raider Revenue Generating Cooler now offers a Faux BLT selection. As the slogan says, “Faux B, if it’s fo-everyone, it’s Faux B.”’
If you noticed your Sims stand while playing video games even though there are empty couch seats, you’ll be happy to know they will sit and relax now.
“Obviously… have you ever tried to rocket jump standing up, the balance to weight ratio of the stick to foot differential completely messes with the timing.”
The dartboard is also no longer useless. Say goodbye to lonely games standing around not throwing darts.
“Play Darts With…” more than one Sim should now work, and no longer leave the Sims standing around looking awkwardly at one another.
You gonna throw?
Lost a toe.
What?
Yep, *schtick* toe gone.
So… you wanna play some b-ball?
Lost an eye.
If you’re a Doctor at level 8 and need to deliver a baby to get promoted, pregnant Sims will now actually go to the hospital to have babies.
C’mon honey, you’re pregnant, and it’s time to go to the hospital.
Nope.
Nope? But, you’re… pregnant… and… it’s time.
Nope. Rather have my pregnancy off lot.
Off what?
Off lot, you know off camera, no pain, no animation. No baby… and then *pop* baby. So much nicer than labor.
But they fixed the issue.
They did WHAT?!
And last but not least, kleptomaniac Sims will no longer steal something, then put the stolen items into the inventory of the Sim they stole it from.
