Oh good. I figured this mod would be coming, and I'm quite relieved it only blocks humans from eating the plasma fruit salad, and not vampires from eating regular food. (Not like they'll usually push themselves to eat regular food anyways unless a club rule encourages them to eat food.) I need my collector sim to collect the prints from dine out, so such a mod would've led me to procrastinate even more on such a thing.

As for the Withered Stomach weakness, I was annoyed by it as well, but I suppose there is a kind of reasoning behind it. The salad is made from the entire fruit (as opposed to plasma janes which are made from just the juice. Or when you eat the fruit, the sim just sticks a straw in.) So when your sim with a withered stomach eats it, their poor stomachs can't digest the fruit itself. (Ultimately the distinction between eating oranges, and drinking orange juice.)

It's definitely an inconvenience for vegetarian vampires. Since then they're stuck on an all liquid diet, which wasn't very substantial as it was.

For some reason it seems like the game has too much of an emphasis on vegetarian vampires feeding off of their friends, with permission. I don't see why a true vegetarian vampire would do such a thing! But it's also typically the only feasible option since plasma janes and blood packs are quite awful in vanilla. And, given the limited selection of weaknesses, it's really hard to have a vampire that loves life, doesn't burn up like really annoying kindling, and doesn't constantly bathe in plasma.

As for Lilith Vatore. The vampire break-ins seem to have a nasty habit of not discriminating on who it'll pick. Should have had a test for the guilty drinker weakness and the vegetarian trait so that it wouldn't have just anyone break in and feed on ya. Granted, I don't know if Lilith actually has either, but I have had her break into my house and feed on my sims. I wasn't happy about that. (And don't get me started on her brother. He's a special snowflake that has less weaknesses than usual. Might have been more than usual, I can't recall perfectly.)

Also, since the topic was mentioned, GEEZ I hate the constant fine moodlet power that vampires can get! They should have made it a weakness instead. They'd never be happy, just "Fine". And "Fine" doesn't help you get promotions or build skills. Just to stop me from going insane, I had to make my own mod that made it a stronger moodlet, but on toggle.

Ah, look at me, rambling again. I just wanted to give my two cents and I wrote an essay! Helps that many of my sims are vampires, so I have a lot of opinions on them.

Back onto topic, thanks again for another mod that will have plenty of use in my game!

No problem, @coolspear! Happy I could help. Especially since, otherwise, you might've been wondering why, despite the No More Fears mod, your cats and dogs were still getting afraid, and get frustrated wondering what the problem was. And, while I'm at it, I should probably say thanks for all of these fantastic mods you make. My game would not be the same without them.

And thank you for letting me know, @Kimi! Means I didn't break a rule by putting a link there. Was a bit worried about that.

I just had to check over the rules several times to make sure I could post a link. By the looks of it, such a thing is allowed (with some restriction, as long as it's not in a "status update", whatever that is? Perhaps I'm just a bit dense.) But someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Regardless, that mod can be found

My first time posting on this site, I noticed you mentioned the dog Paddy being upset for several days straight. Apparently there's some kind of messed up logic with the wellness treat (I'm unsure if you were using that or not, but I figure I might mention it anyways), that made the pets constantly "Afraid of something and should calm down soon".

I experienced this myself when my sim's cat M.E.K.A. (Which has a robotic design and was made "neutered". I like to think my scientist sim created the little guy!) was given a wellness treat and was constantly upset, and when my sim asked what was wrong, it turned out he was "afraid of something and should calm down soon". That poor cat was afraid for several days straight. At the time, I thought it was just because the poor little guy had gone through surgery multiple times due to experiments (It is a robot meant to SIMULATE cat-like behaviors, after all!) and then receiving the cone of shame. Especially since a lampshade icon was showing in the cat's thought bubbles every time he was asked what was wrong.

A few days later, though, I was looking at mods on another site and noticed someone had made a mod to fix issues related to wellness treats causing fear in pets. (Which was a really silly choice to begin with on Maxis' part!)
