Bloodborne Aspiration

Created for: The Sims 4 by Sresla

Based on the book Vampires Don't Sleep Alone by Elizabeth Barrial and D. H. Altair, the Bloodborne Aspiration allows your Vampire Sim to explore their ancestry in order to reveal their true nature. Found in its own, new Aspiration category, Supernatural, once selected it grants the bonus trait Observant for sims Teen through Elder.

There are four levels to the Aspiration.

Upon completion, the Sim will be awarded one of eight unique traits which aligns them irrevocably with a specific vampire house. Each Bloodborne house has a base mood, an additional bonus reward trait, modifiers, whim set and custom moodlets/social interactions (as applicable).

As with my other traits, I have re-purposed other, already in-game moodlets which should appear occasionally for the traits they are associated with. Some may not be spot-on, so let me know if anything looks especially out-of-place. Although I've tested the Aspiration and accompanying traits, I do not have all the Sims 4 expansions so there are some aspects I've been unable to test, specifically: Money gains for Transeo, Illnesses for Cicuta (a little wary of this one, but it shouldn't kill anyone... I don't think), Fertility with Vespillo. This, generally, shouldn't impact gameplay if you don't have all the expansions yourself; the only ones required are Vampires and Pets. However, please consider this a beta version of the Aspiration and feel free to report any issues you run into so I can correct them.

Planned Updates

Broadcasters aren't, as far as I'm aware, working in MC4. If/when this is ever fixed, I'll add some in where appropriate

Missing from the unique traits is the final Bloodborne house, Silenti. I need to take a brief break from modding and would rather submit an Aspiration is 90% finished for the time being

I'd like to see if there's a way to add a base trait for any humans who decide to take the Aspiration which I've been working on, called Renfield. If I can't integrate it, I'll just release it separately at some point

More custom moodlets/custom social interactions

Some change if the vampire is cured or the trait is removed with cheats. I'm not sure what right now, but you can bet it's going to be bad

Known Issues

The Reward Trait shows as a blank llama when moused over in-game; as the Aspiration rewards one out of eight traits, I cannot determine how to list them all as potential rewards (and don't think there'd be space, in any case)

Because Supernatural is a custom Aspiration category, it cannot be viewed in-game when changing aspirations. So, Bloodborne can only be selected while in CAS

Technically, this Aspiration can be chosen (and completed) without Cats & Dogs; without it, the Be friends with X animals milestone checkpoint just doesn't appear the Aspiration continues without it. Similarly, the only Reward Trait that requires it is Tristis, as it grants Animal Whisperer. IF you get Tristis and do not have Cats & Dogs, a LE error is generated as a result but all other aspects of the Reward Trait itself function just fine

Don Your Space Suit as EVERSPACE Comes to VR

It’s been a while in the making but finally ROCKFISH Games’ rogue-like space combat title EVERSPACE Earlier this month the studio revealedhas finally made it to virtual reality (VR). the title would be getting the long awaited support for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and OSVR and now version 1.0 has been released.

ROCKFISH first announced VR support back in 2015, prior to its successful Kickstarter campaign. The arrival of version 1.0 not only benefits VR users but also players who’ve enjoyed the title all the way through Steam Early Access. The update brings with it, the addition of a story line, achievements, more points of interest, a new device called the Sensor Array, plus many tweaks and bug fixes.

One feature that has been completely overhauled is the use and crafting of scanning probes. ROCKFISH explained on a Steam post: “We watched a lot of streams and videos of people playing EVERSPACE and noticed that crafting/using scanning probes has become too obligatory. The routine would be to craft and use a scanning probe at the beginning of every location which is neither fun nor does it promote explorative gameplay. We realized that a lot of gameplay elements would not work the way we intended, i.e. cloud fields, comm hubs, jump suppressor signals and many more. On the other hand, not being able to craft scanning probes (e.g. due to a lack of gas) would result in frustration, so increasing the crafting costs was not and option.

“Our solution: Remove scanning probes completely, add radar memory (so that scanned objects will remain on the HUD), increase the amount of comm hubs and introduce a new device, the sensor relay which increases the ship’s sensor range. With these changes in effect, we noticed a huge improvement in gameplay, shifting the approach towards risk/reward driven exploration rather than dully working off HUD markers one after another.”

EVERSPACE can be purchased now for £22.99 GBP, and for any further VR updates to the title, keep reading VRFocus.

I just downloaded two of your mods and they're showing conflicts in HCDU: Sell Great Novel Personal Wealth Fix with noplagiarism from MATY and Negative Promotion Bonus Fix with No Pet Code Spam by twojeffs. Are these resolvable?

You no longer need noplagiarism as long as you have sell great novel personal wealth fix. For negative promotion bonus fix, find line 0x3E and change the true target to 0x34 to remove pet code spam (and then remove twojeff's mod, as it's no longer necessary).

[midgethetree]

Hey Midge. I'm getting the following conflict between Negative Promotion Bonus Fix and TwoJeff's No Pet Code Spam: [Sub - Level Change] [File Type: BHAV] [Group ID: 0x7f8f4eb6] [Instance ID: 0x0000203f]. What do you recommend?

Hi! In Negative Promotion Bonus find line 0x3E and change the true target to 0x34.

[midgethetree]

Hello Midge, hope you're keeping well! There's a conflict between your new Negative Promotion Bonus fix and Pick'n'Mix/WH's sims salary optional bonus mod. That mod says "Includes code to fix pay related overflows (ie bonus or pay+bonus >$32767)" so I was just wondering does that mean I don't need to use your mod to cap the overflow when using that one? Thank you for everything!

Hi! Sounds like you don’t need the negative promotion bonus fix if you use that Pick’n’Mix mod :)
