VTMB: Camarilla Edition is an Expansion Overhaul that completely changes the game mechanics and how we approach the game of Bloodlines. After playing through Bloodlines over 10 times the replay value has decreased, and we started thinking of ways to improve the game to make it much more realistic. I have long since been a fan of Bethesda's Open Ended Sandbox games so that is the feel I wanted to bring to Bloodlines. One of the biggest problems with Bloodlines is that you never get the sense of BEING a Vampire. I mean you have powers and you drink blood, but only to fuel those powers most of which are extremely short lived. Not only that but I have never dropped below a humanity of 10 because I was never in danger of going hungry. So what we did was completely overhaul how everything from Feeding and Regeneration, to Bloodpool and Disciplines work, giving you a completely new experience to Bloodlines unlike anything you've played in the past.
This contains no new content. It is just the final version (1.7) of Camarilla Edition for bloodlines mod loader with installer. As always, no support or questions answered here on ModDB because I almost never visit the place. If you need anything, visit planet-vampire.com.
Great! the game opens but when I press "New Game" it crashes!! :( I installed it on a clean VTMB folder for steam but it's not working and keeps crashing!
I tried so many times..
I have a Windows 10 Acer Aspire E 15 Laptop
I really wanna play the Camarilla Edition but none of the sites I've downloaded it from seem to have the right files or explaination on how to use the mod or where to put the files or what to do.. :(
please help..
Do something about the running walking and crouching animation its very silly.
Got it working lol :D
How?
use the unoficial patch (the most recent updated one)
i'll be making a video tutorial soon on how I do it :)
i'm gonna link it here when finished :D
Hi, don't suppose you've had time to make that video?
I"m no expert but i'm comfortable with PCs, but need help.
I've installed the CE final mod and tried to run it both via steam (setting the launch option to point its folder location), it fails and says "you need adminstrator privileges to run".
Then Ialso try to just straight run it using desktop shortcut and right-clicking and running as adminstrator, it loads for a bit then when I click "start new game" it crashes :((
Please help anyone i'm itching to enjoy this wonderful game and mods again.
This is a necro reply, but for the sake of posterity, "you need admin privileges" is apparently fixed by moving the steam.dll file from the parental "Steam folder" in which the votmb folder is contained, into the root directory of your game, so that steam.dll is right next to vampire.exe.
After this, the unofficial patch instructions state to:
1) install unofficial patch to the root directory of the game
2) Download cefinal installer/zip
3) Install/extract to a separate folder, renamed to cefinal
4) Copy that mod folder named cefinal to the root directory
5) Then running the game you can:
5--A) Run vampire.exe with the command line property "Vampire.exe -game cefinal"
5--B) Use launch options in steam that do that, or a batch file instead
5--C) If you launch Loader.exe, you're supposed to be able to select the game from the mod list that displays.
----
Conversely, for running the game, I read in other places online that cefinal requires only the internal "cefinal" folder be copied over to the root directory if you have hte mod loader. Which, installing the latest Unofficial Patch (UP) appears to have this mystical "loader" I've heard about, or if you don't have this elusive votmb loader, then you'd need to copy both teh internal folders "bin" and "cefinal" to the root directory.
I'll attempt THIS first, and see what happens when I use loader.
I've had to wipe and verify my game files integrity so many times now, that I've copied my vanilla files to a backup folder, and the UP latest patched version of the game files to a backed up UP folder as well.
So I can just delete all and copy over those, with each attempt, and have steam.dll in the root folders of all of them. So I will eventually get this sonuvabitch working, harf!
Captain's Log, final entry:
I've got my version of Camarilla Edition launching successfully when I click New Game. Here are the steps I effected to accomplish this objective.
1) Download the vanilla files freshly to the root directory (after I nuked it again)
2) Copy steam.dll from (in my case) C://Games/Steam/ to ".../common/root_game_dir/" such that a copy of steam.dll resides next to vampire.exe
3) Backed up vanilla root directory to an internal folder called "000 -- Backup".
4) Downloaded Unofficial Patch 11.4 (there may be an 11.5 you can try as well, but I happened to use this one from the site), and installed it directly into the root directory.
5) Launched vampire.exe, and confirmed it did not crash on New Game
6) Backed up VOTMB UP, the entire root directory in this state, to "000 -- UP", so it could be copied over if I need to nuke the files again.
7) Downloaded CEFinal (the installer) and executed it, telling it to install its files to a folder called "cefinal_files" in the root directory.
8) Navigated into the internal "cefinal_files" folder, and exclusively copied the "cefinal" folder residing in there into my root directory.
9) Optional -- if this didn't have hte loader, I'd also copy the "bin" folder to root as well, I hear.
10) Launch Loader.exe, and selected "cefinal" as the third option in the gui.
Now I will attempt to play the game, and will spam this comment section again if further issues arise.
I also previously created my own list of club songs I wanna add into the mod, with songs I felt match the aesthetic or personalities of each club owner, so hopefully that works.

yeah Like the others said, When I click on new game it crashes and freezes.
Whoever has it freezing and crashing upon pressing New Game - just copy the file "vampire.dll" from [main game folder]/vampire/dlls/ and paste it to [main game folder]/cefinal/dlls/ overwriting the file that was there before.
This course of action was recommended by the mod developer at forums.planetvampire.com and it worked for me.

sometimes when i start a new game in CE i get this Engine Error that says
MapEntity_LoadFromFile: found Car when expecting {
not everytime but sometimes. mostly after i did a Loadgame, then return to main menu to start a new game. is there a way to fix it? or did i somehow mess up the install?
hi great work !!! one question is this compatible with the latest
Unofficial Patch 10.1 by Wesp5 ?
thanks
to get this working with unofficial patch I have vs 10 +, you have to copy the two dll files from the dlls folder in the unofficial patch folder, and then copy them into the dlls folder contained in the cefinal folder
