Knock knock!vampires infront if the door.

Yes sometimes a vampire will come and knock on the door and just stand there for a while. In those times, all they are wanting to do is visit. So if you invite them them, they will chat for a while and leave like any other sim. Those vampires who do come to drink your sims plasma will do so when they are all sleeping, and break in doing that creepy walk style. They will then come in uninvited, and put your sim under a trance, and drink their blood, leaving them passed out on the floor.

The vampires who broke into my sim's home, were never invited in the first place, which threw me for a loop, because all the old movies and TV shows always said a vampire needed to be invited in first, before they could enter.

maybe they don't want to drink your blood
maybe they just wanted to say hi
it happens

yeah they did it backwards, It would have been more epic if the more powerful vampires could lure, our sims out of their beds, from outside of the house and drink their blood depending on where they are in the neighbor hood. and then our sim would wake up confused on like the front yard or something.

Is it on purpose that caleb, lilith , vlad or ugly generated townies knock on the house door at knight or is it just me.
I thought they would break in and drink blood from my sim but they just stand there like
"Oh hello dear sim, may I ask you if Iam allowed to drink your blood" and after some time they go away.

If they come at night, they aren't coming over to say hello. lol That means one of them will return later, if you let them in first.

yep! Throughout leveling up Vampire Lore with the Tomes there was a popup once that stated in old vampire tales it's said that a vampire can only come in if they were invited, that means if you never invite them AFTER the initial tutorial with Vlad, they should never be able to get in! I never tested it though, because I always let them in LOL Since I want to play with them.

So far that if I have a NON vampire Sim start studying vampire lore, they become victims for lurking vampires. If I avoid it, they seem to (so far) avoid breaking into my home and feeding on my Sims.

The Vampire pack is one of the few reasons I started playing again (as well as the toddler patch). While I LOVE what they have done with the vampires, such as giving them skills we can purchase and adjust the random break in's can be unbelievably annoying when my Sim is drained, left butt up, face down & have work in the morning, etc.

Not to mention Breaking in while i am attempting to Travel. Extremely annoying. However, I would expect nothing less of EA.

It's still a good game pack, glad I purchased it, but they really should have allowed players more control over how supernaturals interact with out lots, sims, etc. Aliens and future supernaturals included.

I think vampires breaking in at the home lot while your Sim is at a community lot is actually a bug. And if you don't want visited late one night don't explore vampire lore. Otherwise you have bugs.

They are actually breaking in on the community lot, not on the home lot! Every single time this happens to me, a vampire is on the lot where you are someplace. Sometimes they even appear to do the sneaky-walk thing when they usually break in your Sim's home. Some people mentioned before that there might have been a Sim napping someplace on the lot, because there is a test in the tuning files which checks if the interaction "sleeping" is in use, which makes a vampire break-in. Maybe even the recovery from Plasma Drain could be considered sleeping, by the games engine.

I have only had the problem when one of my Sims went home and I stayed at a community lot with the other. I didn't see any vampires since the game hadn't generated any that early in playing the game when Vampires came out. I assumed my Sim at home was being attacked because I couldn't leave the community lot. This has to be a bug to try to break in a community lot, I guess.

It appears that vampires breaking into community lots has been fixed in today's patch. Yay!
