It is normal for a Vampire to spar(fight) with another Vampire autonomously. (with a sufficiently high skill level)
If it was a spar, yeah, that would be pretty normal. This says "fight" in the interaction queue and behaves like a vampiric duel (found in the mean category). And, the sim she picks a fight with is not always a vampire. Anyway, the part that becomes frustrating is the relationship loss and the sim inflicted acts like it has the insane or mean trait (sim acting mean for seemingly no reason then acting nice the very next interaction). It's kind of kooky with those traits, but this isn't really. IDK if I'm explaining it well at the moment, just trying to help nail down what's going on a bit (perhaps badly).
I'll add this
are they Vampires for you as well or all hot-headed Sims ?
Windenburg is a bit special as it has these 'brawls' that happen all the time so you have more fights that's why I ask.
Thank you. For me, I've really only seen this as a recurrent thing for sure with hotheaded Sims. One of my Sims had this problem just as badly before he was a Vampire as after. And no, these are not Vampiric Spars; it's just plain fighting. And again I should stress that at first I played him as a human and even then, he had this problem. I added a screenshot I made today where he can be seen autonomously fighting Caleb, whom he has an incredibly high relationship with, completely out of the blue (here he is actually a vampire). He was happy, Caleb was happy and they were having a casual discussion when it happened. There was no provocation/instigation at all. After this their friendship bar took an extremely big hit, as now it's only barely filled at all while as you could see, it was filled to the top before the fight happened. You may understand that it's kind of annoying to be forced to monitor my Sim all the time to make sure this doesn't happen again. 😛
Having said that, I do like a bit of a challenge in my game and so I wouldn't mind the fact that my in every way dysfunctional Sim would start random fights with people. I did choose traits like hotheaded for a reason. But these people should be strangers or despised sims or enemies, not best friends and lovers. Actually, I wouldn't even mind it all that much if he fought loved ones, even, granted that he has a mood that correlates with his aggression, like Angry or Tense. Then it'd at least be kind of understandable why he'd suddenly go ballistic. :D
