Re: Vampire problem skills
Vampires (Warewolves, Fairies, or Witches) don't really have a skill progress bar like the rest of the skills on the Sims 3. When their skill increases you will get a note at the top right hand of your screen that says that they have "leveled up". They will also get more options and interactions if that happens. If you are saying that it is JUST the vampire itself that won't level up in normal skills (Athletic, Painting, Logic, etc.) then try reloding the game or copying that household and seeing if they then can gain skills.
