Illness for Vampires?

Anyone else think this is weird? I don't think vampires should get sick considering they are immortal.

I've noticed this too, and I've always thought it was odd. Because not only are they immortal, they're also undead.

LOL YES!! They are also undead. I know this is a minor issue but I think it still needs to be changed. I feel like my vamps are sick more than my normal sims.

Lots of viruses to be found in blood...
Or something.

True but I have yet to hear any vampire lore where a vampire got a human illness. If they coded in immortality for those with the vampire trait, I think they could have done the same with illness.

I find it strange too. Vampires in fiction pretty much never get sick. If they're the undead type, it's because...well, they're undead. If they're the living type, it's because they have a much stronger immune system than normal humans (which they would need if they feed on blood...which hasn't always been the most sanitary of bodily fluids with the amount of pathogens and parasites that can survive in it...). I mean, at the very least, illness for vampires should be extremely rare...

It should exist at all, Look at Lestat he and louis in the middle of the black plague, they were immune.

Yeah it bugs me. To make things worse, I feel like they are sick more than my normal sims. I really hope they address it at some point.

My vampire sims never get sick XD its acutally annoying because I want one to go for a doctor appointment XD

You are lucky. Mine have been getting sick. It has been a while since I played my vamps, maybe they fixed it. I am not sure we will ever see them at the hospital since most sims are there during the day for the doctor career.

Unless it's like some supernatural plague or something, Vampires shouldn't get sick at all.
