Can't search for "vampire" on the Exchange

I saw vampires listed in the "Sub Type" that's listed as the last thing under "Sims".

Here is a link that I'll post with some vampires on the page... :)

I'm actually looking for builds, not sims. I need some 20x30 and 30x40 builds that will fit in a vampire style area of a world. A google search only brought up Sims (the same ones you showed, in fact), although since all I could see were the links, I had to click each one to see what it was. Not the most efficient way to search for something that suits my purposes.

As for Sims, I have learned not to download Sims from the Exchange, since a lot of people use CC. You can't really tell what the Sim will look like without the CC until you strip it of the CC and then bring it in your game. Since that sort of defeats the purpose, I've learned just to make my own Sims, even though I know there are better creators out there.

Every time I try to search the Exchange for lots and use the keyword "vampire", I get an annoying Liam error:
"Oops!
We are not able to process your request."

It would be interesting to see if you can do the same search for vampires when selecting lots and not Sims, and can do it successfully. I'm betting you'll get the same error I'm getting. Since keyword searches are supposed to search on any word used in the description - and I'm positive that there are many builds out there that use that word in the description - there is no reason why the search should NOT work. The fact that it gets the error means that EA did something deliberately to block it, and I would like to know why.
