Sleep and plasma

With point 1 - I think a few people have spotted that and are hiring butlers so that they can feed on the butler.

That's a good idea. Actually drawing on some of the Underworld lore, except for feeding, the original function of the Lycans was to protect the vampires while they slept. It's probably a good idea to keep a human around the house.

I have not seen the need to sleep in my game. I'm not sure it's not a bug for you. I really did play a vampire for a Sim week and I never saw this. I finally got him to prime vampire before I went over to my other households to incorporate them into his story. He hibernates sometimes (per my command) but he is not sleepy. Is any other vampires putting spells on your vampire? One did in MyShuno on my Sim when he tried to mind control it must have back fired and he was the one who had to remain in the middle of the street under a curse/spell and couldn't move for a very long time. But I figure the other vampire put it back on him. lol

There's apparently a bug with vampires sometimes having human needs and somebody made a mod to fix it

I was just wondering if this bug has something to do with those vampires having been turned from humans? Because I made both of my vampires in CAS as vampires.

as far as i am aware that is indeed the case... it seems to be a problem with transitioning to a vampire from a human but vampires made in CAS dont have the issue.

I think the plasma packs and fruit are a quick fix. I think they intended it to be harder for a "vegetarian" vampire to survive without feeding on sims. That's more unnatural than feeding of prey. Maybe, when we get Pets, they'll let vampires feed on big rats.

Feeding on rats would be pretty cool :)

With Plasma packs, I think that's the point, they're not suppose to refill the thirst bar significantly and it's kind of realistic, a Plasma Pack is like a capri-sun pouch a sample, of human blood that's not really going to do much.

The Human body contains about a gallon and a half of plasma, which a vampire could easily drain out of a Human, and fill their thirst bar to the max

perhaps they should have made more variations like a quart of plasma, half gallon.

Case 2, is odd... Vampire power... any powers really, magic too, takes energy, which should be recovered be resting/consuming.

Bottom line, If that energy bar is full Sims shouldn't be tired. All that should happen is whenever sims use their powers it should cost them their energy, thus making them tired.

I think a butler suits vampires - it seems a match to me.

I definitely agree that the plasma packs and fruit are too weak as-is. I understand that they probably want feeding from a live Sim to be the 'best' way of doing it, but right now, it's just a bit crazy, IMO, how many packs/fruits it takes to make a meal.

I've never seen any indication of a sleep requirement outside of depleted Vampiric Energy though. Thinking you may have some kind of weird glitch there.
