Been really struggling with finding help on this matter, so I'm hoping I can ask here for help. I'll take a mod or cheat at this point!

The recent update seems to have broken the Supernatural Smackdown interaction between vampires and werewolves. Now, vampires will always flee and not engage in the smackdown, leaving a very confused werewolf. Is there a mod to fix this? I've not seen much info on the bug, but I have reported it.

I had plans to do an enemies to lovers run, but wanted them to get in a fight at least once. This vampire has been through a lot, sure (alien abductions everywhere), but he's still pretty strong. I'm sure he could take on this werewolf!

(The bug was tested in a non modded save, so I'm confident it was that new hot mess of an update. I tried to stop it, but I guess it snuck its way in.)

I tried SO HARD to prevent my game from updating, but I think it did so automatically when I wasn't paying attention or something and I am so frustrated.

I am trying to play an enemies to lovers with my vampire and werewolf, but want them to have at least ONE supernatural smackdown before they start romancing each other. However, no matter how much I train my vampire, he keeps fleeing from the werewolf anytime the smackdown is triggered. I am at my whits end and don't know what to do.

Is this a bug others have experienced? Is there any work around? I appreciate any help or advice!

For reference I am on PC. This issue does happen in vanilla non-modded gameplay.
