Yes, it's still an issue. It has always been an issue for me since I've had vampires and seasons together, but I have never reported on it thinking that many people must be having this issue and should get fixed at some point. Vampires SHOULD burn in the sun, so I just took it as the added difficulty of being a vampire, even though holding an umbrella is supposed to prevent this.
What prompted me to finally look this one up, was I just now had a vampire in university step outside and open his umbrella manually so that when he goes to class he won't die, but even though I queued it up like others have said to avoid the debuff "sticking" he was still burning! I can usually avoid this by manually opening my sims umbrella for them, but this is the very first time it did not work. I don't know if something in university made it different or what.
I can confirm this. The cause is for the vampire burn is the game do not recognize the umbrella anymore. (This is a standard bug if the umbrella is not anymore in the Queue but still open)
Screenshot 1 : I direct Vlad to wait outdoor
Screenshot 2 : Go to class goes in the queue
Screenshot 3 : Vlad start walking the game drops the umbrella from the queue (but the umbrella is still open and Vlad use it) The game don’t recognize that Vlad have still the umbrella and here we are Vlad burning to death.
OT:
The problem with bugs is .. (in this special fall)
I use never umbrella with my thin skin vampire is use always Sunlight Reversal Cocktail for it, so I never encountered this bug and never report it. This are the reason there are only 17 me too and the report goes under.
Many play sims 4, but I think maybe 5%-10% report bugs. Its easier to complain in social media as report bugs. Most the time: Have you report this bug? NO, why should I? EA should know this bug! No, EA don’t know. Many game developers don't play the game or play the game different, so never encountered this bug. This is the reason Bug Reports are important.
