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.
  • Have the same problem, and I use no CC whatsoever. My lovely vampire queen seems to always want to take the garbage out in the middle of the day. And had 3 vampire guests get crispy in the garden because they wouldn't come inside :) but their ghost make a nice addition to the graveyard haha :)

    Mod?

    But yes vampires walking in the sun is not fun to see.

    Does that mod work? I downloaded the one that prevents fake vampires not sure if it's working thought. :/


    I'm using this and mc command center and well so far none of the vampires I have died yet.
    But I also have the Sun Resistance on my vampires :|

    if you're worried more about this why not ask http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=589559&c=1&goto=newpost?
    (Sorry for not being more helpful)

    I did noticed win using mc command center my town vampires did stay out of the sun that was before I used this DayWalker Vampires mod.
    :| ..er...so it must be mc command center doing that.

    People who don't use mod I say making you're vampire hibernate until night.

    Some sims just have really bad luck.

    I have a grand master vampire and her second in command who I lvl:d in a separate save and then brought over to my big rotational save. Now they are turning a few select sims who have a long story in my game and I have plans for them.

    Here is one of the poor recently bitten and turned sims. The sims I was controlling went to the romance festival and my noob-vamp here was chosen as one of the people who spawn there with the festival clothes. He landed in the sun and turned instantly.

    And here he started to burn slightly. Poor guy, I left his household in Forgotten Hollow and here he is just teleported straight into the sun.

    I ended up leaving the festival because I did not want to lose this vampire, he has a long backstory and I got plans for him. I won't coddle my vampires, if they get too angry or happy or something else they will die. However, playing a rotational save with fledgling vamps in several households is taking a risk. Some of them will become festival-people or stand in a foodcart and then they are toast.

    I ended up downloading the mod that was mentioned earlier

    As soon as my main vampires have obtained sun resistance then I will remove this mod. It is either that or constantly play the same vamp-household until you have unlocked it. I don't want to be locked into a specific household on my rotational save. When I played a vampire household only during the lvl:ing of my grand master is was fun to work towards unlocking it. In my rotational save unlocking the sun resistance takes too much time, I want to move around more freely between the households and have several vampires turn in different households. That means crispy-vamps so it is modding for me.

    Thank the lama for mods!!

    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.
