The Sun and the Moon challenge - Shakti & Teizo - part 02: finally a vampire and a plantsim

First, let's take a look at the lot. It's finally finished and working. I downloaded this lot at MTS2 and it was a community lot but I thought it would work better as a residential lot. It gave me a lot of work because there were some objects that caused too much mess like abandoned coffee cups (the sim was always trying to clean) or the growing weeds (we had a cockroaches infestation). But as soon as I solved these problems, the house became very playable.







I was sceptical about the fruits/vegetables because the winter was coming but to my surprise we actually could have some tomatoes and oranges.

This is what I call "vampire's trap": objects outdoor that they want to use. Once Shakti becomes a vampire I must pay attention on him during the day or he will become ashes too fast.



The winter came but to our happiness it wasn't a rigorous winter. We had some snow but not too much.



Teizo could continue to take care of the tomatoes (since the tress were in "sleeping mode") and work in the ruined car. Shakti could continue to develop his skills.



He really adopted the last floor (a room without windows) and the coffin.

Then, Teizo had all his wants related to love and relationship (I was expecting this since he is family/pleasure). Shakti and him were not getting along very well (for my surprise, since they were a couple in my last installment, living in a gorgious beach house and I kept the same signs, aspirations and turn-ons so they should be interested in each other). I even tried a blind date to Teizo, since Shakti didn't seemed interested at all.  In the end I think Shakti was being stubborn (he likes to play the tuff-guy) and Teizo was being shy because once I give them a little push in the right direction they quickly became friends and felt in love with each other. I didn't even needed to make a date with them!



Shakti really had met the Countess Maria in that cinema so he made several phone calls to her to become his friend and invited her to the house once. I discovered that they must be at least best friends so Shakti can ask her to bite him so things got a little complicated. It's taking more time than I thought.
Since it was winter there was no much chance to Teizo do gardening, we need to wait till the spring to be able to continue the process to make him a plantsim.



But the tomatoes survived, I was really surprised.

I finally got them to transform in vampire and plantsim! We are almost in the middle of the spring, it took some time but I finally managed to transform them.

First, the vampire. I was making Shakti invite the Countess Maria to visit and interact with her with no success. Unfortunately he didn't showed the want to become a vampire, I had to make it without him wanting, which is not my usual style but I did for the sake of the challenge. Since there wasn't an option "please, bite me!" in the menu with the Countess and I didn't remember how to do this without cheating (I usually selected the vampire and made him/her to bite the target) I ended asking Teizo to influence the Countess to bite Shakti. It worked.



YAY! I was beginning to feel hopeless because I didn't know how to make the Countess bite him without cheat. Then, in the very next day, while Teizo was taking care of the trees...



...he transformed into a plantsim!



He is so cute. At first he was wearing the default plantsim outfit but I could change that. I don't recall to have any hack installed to do that so I believe you can actually change the plantsim clothes. I remember I always did that.

I sent him to peek at Shakti's coffin.



I love this! <3

Then since Teizo's social was really low and all he needs now is water, sun and love, I promoted a date between them.



Both of them showed wants to get engaged and marry (and Teizo wants a baby) so I decided to make them happy.



Now I need to make the arrangements for the wedding. 

Just as notes for those who never played vampires or plantsims:

Shakti with his new vampiric thumbnail and the memory to had become a vampire:



Shakti with his motivemeters all filled during the night:



Shakti and his vampiric face, going to his coffin during the day because the motives started to decay:



And Teizo with his new plantim's motivemeters (sun, water and love):
