I have some issue with vampires as well, but they are different.
First off, I dislike that they can be daywalkers. The distinction between a normal Sim and a vampire Sim becomes non-existent in this regard. Vampires are 100% night creatures in my book. I resent seeing Vladislaus Straud in a grub stall in San Myshuno at noon 'Come any, come all and buy my delicious noodles!'. What's up with that?
Secondly, I find they are way too easy to play after you pick just a few perks. So easy, that you start to ponder to only play daywalking vampire Sims who have no need for sleep and just have a lot of plasma packs to cover nutrition.
But okay, it's totally up to the player to choose their play style. We can choose to make it difficult. I suppose that's cool :)
If you don't want to see Vlad as a food stall vendor or a mixologist (where he usually shows up in my games) you can assign him a career; just go in and play him long enough to get him a job (I usually choose something like writer or painter which would suit someone who has to stay in during the day), then go into Manage Households and mark him as unplayed. That works with any of the vampires.
