Hybrid occult toddler interactions?

Post by indignantgirl » October 15th, 2019, 10:06 pm

I used MC so that my sims are now the proud parents of a vampire-werewolf hybrid toddler. I also have the Hybrid mod installed, but she only has werewolf interactions and (iirc) werewolf moodlets. No vampirish interactions or moodlets thus far. The only possibly vampire thing she's done is gnaw on the throat of her imaginary friend doll. But that could very well be a werewolf thing. Her MC personal status definitely shows both vampire and werewolf occults (although werewolf has a "+" next to it).

Maybe this is just how Hybrid works with toddlers, and they gain hybrid interactions after they age up? I simply don't know to expect; I can't find any info about occult hybrid toddlers, and very little info about occult toddlers period. Do I need to DO something with Hybrid other than install it? I didn't see any additional settings pop up in MC or SP so I figured it would just do it's unlocking thing automatically. Or maybe not. Does anybody know? Thanks!

With only a small number of exceptions like the ways in which they play with toys, in my limited experience the vampire interactions, moodlets, hunger being replaced by thirst and the need for plasma in some form or other do not begin manifesting themselves until part way through the teen life stage and are only fully realized when the sim becomes a YA. Being a hybrid, as playable with the Hybrid mod, shouldn't matter.

It's really cute when a pet (dogs anyway, maybe also cats?) walks past a vamp toddler and gets a bat in their thought bubble. It seems they know something is different about them right away, possibly before anyone else does. :)

The (+) designation on on the Status panel means that under EA standard the werewolf occult state would be the dominant one for that sim and any other occult states would go into remission. The designation doesn't really mean anything if the Hybrid mod is in play.

Thank you, this was exactly the info I needed. Basically, vampire toddlers/children don't do a lot of vampire stuff. Except nom on their doll's throat, which in and of itself is worth the price of admission. :)

When I saw that the werewolf toddler could do so many werewolf-specific interactions (howl at the moon, practice howling, practice hunting, scratch), I thought there must be something wrong if a vampire toddler couldn't do a bunch of vampire-specific interactions. But you're saying that won't necessarily come into play until they are older, even with the Hybrid mod. Good to know! I'm looking forward to it. :D
