    Is your Vampire Sim tired of drinking the same old regular Plasma? Are they drinking it to the point that they can no longer tell if it is Plasma anymore? Ugh, such a hard diet, right? I can relate…ahem… Vampire Sims will now enjoy a more varied diet of Fish, Frog, and yes… Regular Plasma when left to their own devices.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all DLC
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? using any method, have a NPC controlled vampire come over to the active lot. Currently the easiest way seem to be to have them as a member of a club.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the vampire gets hungry they'll go through the animations like they're starving and show the icons above their head like they need to feed, but they never bite any nearby sims or do anything whatsoever to feed themselves.
What do you expect to see? I expect hungry vampires to ask for blood, or forcibly bite sims. Or drink from one of their juice boxes. Or something other than just continue to starve.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

I was asked to split my vampire thread about a month ago, but completely missed the notifications amongst ones from more busy threads.

When my sims have vampire friends, I always expect them to eventually ask for blood, but they never do, and yet they walk around like they're starving and about to die. This is specific to NPC controlled vampires, but even vampires that are part of the active family and running on free will (no player commands) won't autonomously ask for blood or bite, even when they get hungry.

This may possibly be related to the other vampire problem where vampires come over in the middle of the night and never bite anyone anymore, but not sure.

    I've seen this on PS4. The vampires never feed themselves autonomously. I also don't get vampires coming over to feed in the night, ever.

      A lot of autonomous feeding behavior seems to be broken, especially for NPC vampires in particular. I made a list for a different bug report, so I'll crosspost it here also in the hopes that it'll be useful:

      Played/active vampires will not:

      • Autonomously drink plasma packs made from fish or frogs
      • Autonomously make plasma drinks or plasma fruit salads, even if they have plasma fruit in their inventory
      • Autonomously ask Sims for permission to drink, or autonomously try to drink any any way except for "drink uncontrollably" (likely intended)

      NPC vampires will not:

      • Drink uncontrollably from Sims
      • Drink involuntarily from a Sim (deeply or lightly or drain spirit)
      • Ask for permission to drink
      • Attack/bite Sims when angry or very angry with them
      • Eat plasma fruit that is in their inventory or left out on the lot
      • Drink plasma packs that are made from frogs or fish, that is, the packs are created and not bought
      • Drink plasma fruit drinks that are left out but not made specifically for them
      • Make their own plasma fruit food or drinks

      NPC vampires will:

      • Autonomously drink plasma packs that are left out and available, or plasma packs that were already in their inventory. As with played vampires, the only plasma packs that work for autonomous NPC feeding are the ones you buy from a PC.
      • Order plasma drinks and plasma fruit salad at bars and restaurants. I think NPC vampires will eat plasma fruit salad that's left out or in a fridge that you've made for them, but haven't tested this in a while. They won't make plasma fruit drinks or plasma fruit salad for themselves even if they have a plasma fruit in their inventory.

      Club with "drink plasma" as an activity seem to be bugged also:

      • Clubs need to be actively meeting with "drink plasma" as an activity
      • NPC vampires will first drink every plasma pack they have in their inventory
      • Then they'll start queuing up to order plasma drinks at the bar (if meeting place is a bar)
      • They will ask for permission to drink from Sims and usually get rejected
      • Occasionally they will drink from Sims without permission, but this appears to be a last resort even when they're evil, even though this really should be the first resort in a club specifically made to get vampires to bite people
