Does very much sounds like an accidental death or something. They can happen if you have them turned on.
Alas, I would if I could. Offhand, I don't know if the neighborhood stories were on or not since my drive got "voodoo'd" when I updated it from mbr to gpt so i ended up having to clean the drive to do a clean install of win11 when I was updating from win10pro. However; both Vlad and Lillith were not under my control since they weren't in my household but in their own in Forgotten Hollow. If memory recalls correctly, I think the time Lillith died was when at the gym in the Del Sol Valley. In all times it happened, my sims were at Del Sol Valley (yes I have a thing for Venessa :P ) Lillith I was able to bring back since I caught her as a ghost with the ambrosia (some room I found in the galley that had it). Vlad - I have no idea what happened each time.
I apologize I can't help further b/c that save is long gone when I had to clean the drive with Win11 installation and I'm on a new game.
