How bright/stupid are vampires?

If I don't play a household with a vampire do they have a sence of self-preservation and stay OUT of the sunlight or am I going to see scorchmarks all over town? And I assume there is no autonomous vampire turning?

Yeah, I bought the vampire pack (which I wasn't going to do yet :tongue: ) and am a bit lost.

I haven't had too much of an issue with this unless I invited a vampire to something during the day. Then they will show up in the sun still and if there isn't shelter they will get crispy. However they did seem to find shelter if they could while I was playing.

I know when it was first released there was some issues with vampires being outside but I haven't noticed any lately.

The bigger issue is your own controlled vampires.
The play on phone interaction is notorious in my saves for distracting vampires after they come home from work/school/activity. This has lead to some vampires burning up right outside the house because I was doing something else and didn't notice to direct them inside. This issue still was happening consistently when I was last playing.

Edit: I didn't see the no autonomous turning question before, but no they don't turn other townies unless you play them and make them. They will autonomously feed on townies if in a poor mood (angry or are very hungry) & the game will randomly generate new vampire townies.

If you don't want the game generating vampire townies in a save make sure to delete the two vampire households (Vlad & the Vatores) in FH before you start playing. Also don't play with vampire sims or research them, both of those can lead to more vampire spawns. There has been various reports on the effectiveness of these techniques at keeping Vampires out of saves, so you may or may not have to still delete vampire townies every once and a while (I don't play saves with out vampires enough to tell you how well this has worked for me)

If you just don't want Vlad to call with vampire lessons, just delete him.

I think that is the basic run down of managing vampires in town, but if your still a little lost about anything in the pack feel free to message, I'm happy to help :)
