Something seems a bit off with the vampires, and I'm trying to figure out what is going on. When a human sim comes over to visit, they will do things such as watch tv, move around, and other such things. But when a vampire comes over for a visit, they will interact as normal, but the thing that is off is this. When they are not doing anything, they will either just sit where they are or stand where they are and not move around. I've tested this out a bit, and found a vampire sitting in a dining room chair for 6 straight sim hours, and do nothing else. Another time he was sitting on the edge of the bed and stayed there for at least 3 hours, and yet again he was standing in a location and not moving from that spot to do anything else. I hope this made sense.

I've noticed this, too. MCCC had married Caleb to a human sim in my game, and when I went to visit him, the human sim was doing things like watching tv, cleaning up a mess or cooking while Caleb just stood around, doing nothing. Also, he and his sister always seem to be drained of vampire energy in every new save I make. Strange.

I noticed this seemed to start very recently. They didn't act like this a couple weeks ago.

I make mine use their coffins for all day time sleep - at least twice a sims week. Vllad uses his almost all the time in my games.

I noticed that in all my saves Caleb ranks up to grand master after a few simdays with a lot of vampire perks. And he always complains about lack of energy. There really is a thing with vampires.

Is there something going on with the vampires?

In my current game everytime we invite Caleb to our house he pretty much just stands around and has the low vampire energy thought bubble around his head.

I noticed this tonight when I played my vampire /alien family needs were crazy and yeah the dad would just stand around until I directed him to do something. The daughter was a little better but she was mopping everywhere when she wasn't extremely sad (had one of those your friend died calls to the whole family)

Are you making them rest in their coffins? I notice things like that when they use the beds too much and not the coffins.

Granted I have not played with them since Seasons came out - but did play them after the pre-patch for Seasons and they seemed fine. In fact I added some new Vamp roommates to 3 of their neighborhood houses last I played them as well. Unless the fix-it patch did something or Seasons itself perhaps. I'll have to check on them tomorrow and see if I see any of that.
