    I am also having this issue. Just started playing with a vampire family I used to play over a year ago. The only spar option is fight under mean. There is no friendly vampiric spar.

    @karleymullins Where are you checking ? Still showing up for me under friendly. Not sure how high a relationship you need tough. Do you have issues with all your vamps ?

    I'm suddenly having this problem.  My teen vamp has sparred with her dad before, but the option isn't there now.  She also didn't have the option with Vlad.  There was a spar option with her teen friends, but see the "vampiric bat travel" bug thread: we just spent four hours in game trying to get our friends to stop turning into bats long enough to spar with us.

    Okay, it's 10:55pm, which is hopefully late enough, but...

    The option isn't there.

    It was there with her teen vamp friends in Forgotten Hollow earlier.  Maybe I should invite them to hang out in San Myshuno and see if that makes a difference?

    ...nope, she can still spar with her teen friends.

    I also noticed that her mom autonomously yelled at her for "fighting" when she sparred with her dad before the last patch, even though sparring is a friendly activity. Perhaps the game has decided that teens can't "fight" with adults?

    [Edited to add...]

    And once I age her up to YA, the option to spar with her dad is back.

    Similarly I couldnt find the option to spar, turns out it was age-locked out of my teen sim. Though I didn't think it was meant to be age locked?

    I tried both at night, and with a similarly aged [teen] sim. The option to vampire spar wasn't there.

    Same here, my teen Sim hasn’t got the option at any time of day with any vamp, even if they’re best friends.

    Whoever having trouble with this  your sims have to be grand masters and master vampires . My own sim is a grand master and the other is a master vampire  and  the other show up. Hope this helps

    That's not true. Vampiric Spar is not limited to Master and Grand Masters. I just checked and Fred Schuler, a Prime Vampire in one of my saves, can use Vampiric Spar with Caleb and Lilith Vatore (Master Vampires), Vladislaus Straud (Grandmaster Vampire), and Tomoko Saito (Fledgling Vampire). That only leaves Minor Vampires, but since even a Fledgling Vampire can use Vampiric Spar, I'm sure that Minor Vampires can too. 

    Vampiric Spar is currently under Friendly/Activities in my game.
