Vampire Thirst is Deadly! (+ Thirst Moodlet Tweaks)

Your vampires better stock up on sanguinary sustenance, because if their thirst bar depletes completely, they'll be putting the "dead" in "undead"!

I didn't like how drinking "plasma" was just something that made vampires happy and comfortable. This mod makes it a vital necessity like in the previous game. I thought it would make more sense for vampires to drink ""plasma"" in order to survive.

The Parched moodlet's description has been changed to be more straightforward, and will now appear when the thirst needs drops below -75.


The "Irresistible Thirst" moodlet is now called "Bloodthirsty". The description is much more urgent, and the weight has been increased to 60. It will now appear when your vampire's thirst need value drops below -85. The moodlet also refers to """plasma""" as "blood", to compliment the "Drink Blood, Not Plasma!" mod. It shouldn't conflict with this mod because it only modifies strings and doesn't touch the moodlets mentioned here.


The Need to Feed moodlet has been left unchanged.

Thirstier Vampires Flavor

This separate flavor does everything listed above, but the Thirst motive has also been modified to decay at the same rate as a human Sim's hunger need. While not required, I recommend the "Better Plasma Food & Drink" mod to go with it.

Known Issues
The mod is pretty bare-bones because this is my first time making one. When a vampire dies from thirst, it will say that they died from "starvation" because it uses the "Starving!" death interaction. I don't know how to make custom death interactions (If any other modders know how, I'm all ears). While it is technically true, some people might think it looks funny.

This mod will conflict with anything that modifies the following:
