Well, the night after Vlad called my Sim's spouse was attacked by Vlad and a female vampire. I was afraid being drained twice in one night would kill him. The next night one showed up outside the apartment--but I locked the door and it went away. Is there any way to get garlic without planting it? I hope the vamps leave my Sims alone now for a while--they haven't been chatting with them. After Magnus got bitten he expressed a fear of vampires to some friends--then when he got home the one was outside the apartment. Should I not let them talk about vampires at all? Would that curb the vampire action?
