[FIXED] [V] Sims don't drink fish/frog pack plasma autonomously

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? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All the expansion packs and the vampires game pack. None of the stuff packs, only the free holiday stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a club for vampires with the get together expansion, and set "drink plasma" as one of the 5 things to do to earn club points.
What happens when the bug occurs? They all have the incredible urge to drink plasma packs that were ordered from the computer and are lying around the house. They completely ingore any plasma packs that are converted from fish and frogs that are lying around the house.
What do you expect to see? I expect the vampires to not discriminate with different types of plasma packs. It is ridiculous that they ignore the fish and frogs plasma packs.
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? No

‌

Before you suggest I turn off my mods. I've tested this with and without mods and it occurs on both occasions. 

With sims get together I created a club for Vampires. One of the 5 club point rewarding things to do is the "drink plasma" option. 

I place plasma packs ordered from the computer all around the house so that the club members don't get thirsty. They run out within seconds as the vampires just keep drinking pack after pack. This would normally make me happy, but when I place fish plasma packs and frog plasma packs around the house, the vampire club members completely ignore it.

This is very annoying. 

Also on a side note.. for some reason ALL the vampires living in the various neighbourhoods that are not my active family get fat. Even the ones that have active as a personality trait. Yes, Caleb and Lillith Vatore get fat. It's very confusing. Vladislaus seems to be the sole exception to this rule. I would greatly appreciate any tips to prevent the vampires that I don't play from gaining so much weight, as right now turning anyone into a vampire is a one way ticket for that sim to become super fat on short notice. 

I even resort to brainwashing the club members to work out to try and burn off the fat and it's taking all the fun out of the game-play.

    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.

    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
