Suicidal vampires

Why do the vampires wander about during the day to just fry and die in the sun? Annoying.

I have just travelled to the gym and Lillith was at a protest and she just burned up and died.

Did this not occur to them when they designed the pack? Seems a pretty obvious thing to get right.

  • Vampire Cassandra Goth was walking by my Sims house. He ran out, introduced himself, and they went back in to hang out. She got on the computer, and, at about noon, left. Only to burn up on their front porch.
    I hate when that happens.

    Oh Simmer! You should look on the bright side of this. At least she won't be doing it again!
  • And I got a nifty new urn to display at their house!
    And a new ghost to hang out with!

    Before release, they said vampires would only come out at night.

    Makes me think this is a bug (happens to me too), or at least an oversight in the role/walkby tuning that's probably easy to fix.


    yeah, that's my guess too.
  • So, has there been any update on this? It seems to still be a problem.

    It's especially bad in combination with Get Together if you have any vampires in clubs. I play rotationally (I know, i know, I'm crazy, but I like playing the different branches of my family, okay? I always start with one household, but after a few generations, it inevitably gets spread out. Sigh.) and a couple households have vampires in them. I have one who was in a club that meets at a lounge, so she could hang out there, socialize and feed. But when I was playing another house and went to the club during the day, she showed up and died. Like, she could've gone inside, but naw, she just decided to stay by the bar that was OUTSIDE (there's one inside too) and burn to a crisp. And I think Vlad has died in 4 or 5 saves of mine,just cause he can't figure out he needs to get out of the sun. Like, he's the master vampire! He should know better!

    I don't mind some drama in my game, but this just seems to...dumb, lol. I don't really want to make them all daywalkers, cause I like the risk factor, I just wish it was handled better! Like, is there some way to program it so they autonomously stay inside during the day? Or exclude vampires from showing up places, including club meetings, during the day? Or I dunno, just something to make them ave some kind of self preservation. Right now it's down right depressing how dumb they are, lol.
