Checked this with one of my vampires, Adriana Sheffield. Adriana is friends with Clara Bjergsen who happened to be in the neighborhood. Offer to Turn was not on the Friendly menu the first time I checked, so I sent Adriana over to Clara and started talking. Clara was uncomfortable because it was raining, so Adriana asked to see Clara's cold weather outfit. After changing clothes, Clara was no longer uncomfortable, the conversation had reached Pleasant, and Offer to Turn was back on the Friendly menu. I then checked several other sims that are Adriana's friends and acquaintances. Offer to Turn was available on all of the other sims I checked, including another Uncomfortable sim. I don't know why Clara was different.I would suggest that you just do a bit more relationship building with the Sims you would like to turn.

Hi guys!Just bought the pack and was having the same issue. What bugged me was that I saw the interaction "ask to turn" available almost at the beginning of the friendship, but I didn't want it at that point (building a story). And when I wanted it, it was gone! And they were maxed out in romance and friendship!So I found this thread and tried to make them have a pleasant conversation, but it was still not working. So what did the trick for me was "deep conversation" and "get to know" interactions. I actually use those a lot with budding friendships and then drop them. I'm guessing they're connected with the "ask to turn" interaction. If on purpose, well I don't know.

Okay so I did a few testings, the results are... well interesting.First I created a vampire and a normal Sim. They weren't even friends yet but my mortal Sim had the Ask to Turn option; my vampire Sim didn't have the Offer to Turn interaction though.Then I visited a family of two, a young adult vampire and his elderly mortal father. The son has the ability to turn others yet it was not there this time when I clearly remember it being there before the newest update. (He didn't even have that ability back then - before the update - but the option was there anyway)I guess it was taken out since vampire masters and their offsprings are kind of count as family members (this explains why the Domestic trait works between a vampire and a Sim they turned) and it would mess the family tree up? Not sure.Moving on I visited an already existing family of a vampire and a normal Sim whom were BFFs. No option from either of them.For the fourth time I created another vampire and a mortal Sim, made them interact until they were Good Friends, leveled my vampire Sim until she could purchase the Vampire Creation ability then checked if the option was there - it was not.However a bit later they interacted again and as soon as the conversation reached "Pleasant Conversation", my mortal Sim finally had the option to Ask to Turn just like my vampire the Offer to Turn one.Is this something new then? Because if it is, it seems it's much harder to turn someone which I really like.But if not... Maybe it's just a weird glitch?

@ashleena123 Have you tried repairing your game yet ?Tested with another Vamp ?

Hi @ashleena123 not a big vamp fan so I might ne doing this wrong but I had my Test vamp talk to Bob and although they were just acquaintances I got the option to show up That's what you mean, right ?

It will reapear when you're having a pleasant conversation with the sim you want to turn. I tried it many times.

My tent-dwelling Sim (her tent is placed on a 4 tile square so it'll count as a micro home) had Vlad come visit, as he does. Because she has no door to lock to keep him out, I decided we would befriend him instead. She now has a 100% friendship bar with Vlad (micro home relationship gains FTW).
"Ask to Turn" comes up CONSTANTLY as a suggested interaction, and he's also called her and asked her to come to his house to offer to turn her into a vampire. She also threw a dinner party at his house, which is where I learned that poor Vlad has Withered Stomach (ouch, I'm so sorry!).
(They're the weirdest friends ever, btw. For the longest time the only trait she knew was "music lover" and she had the adoring sentiment towards him. LOL! I haven't turned her because I've built her life around her "loves the outdoors" trait.)
OTOH, context makes a big difference. Vamps won't train, turn, spar, or any of that unless they're in a good mood, the context is pleasant, and they have a good relationship with the other Sim. Vlad in particular is a loner so if he doesn't know your Sim very well he gets tense around them and won't want to turn them. Also, if he randomly shows up during the day on the lot with just a tent that option isn't there and we rush him home and hang out there (because BURNING IN THE SUN VERY UNCOMFORTABLE Vlad is also extra-flammable).
I also don't know if there's an age difference involved in your case; my teen vamp who'd previously sparred with her dad had those interactions locked out recently.

[edit] ~~And now, in a different save, my Sim couldn't propose marriage to Caleb and then ask him to turn in the next breath. I'll try to be patient. Perhaps it's the wrong context.~~ I so lie, it was right there under friendly, never mind!

@ashleena123 Ah, I have the same problem as you. And on the premise that I and three vampires are good friends, they still won't call me to their house and turn me into a vampire. I've been waiting for their call for a long time. But there was still no call, which made me very sad.

I'm noticing the issue where some npcs I can offer to turn while others I can't. Maxed friendship on both.
