My sim is friends with Calab Vatore. Calob was visiting one day. he stayed a very long time. Well, they were dancing and suddenly Calab bit my sim and drank his fill. I have never seen that before so I was really surprised by it.

That was Thirst Desperation :) When their Thirst need drops too low, vampires attack the nearest sim no matter what. There's a power in the highest tier that prevents desperation attacks. I think it is required for the Good Vampire aspiration, but Caleb may not have unlocked it yet.

Although unexpected I was happy. I never stop a vampire from biting my sims. And depending what save I am in and how I'm playing sometimes if my sim gets bit I turn them and pretend the vampire bite did it.

I do something similar. If one of mine gets bitten I roll a die to determine one of several outcomes, the sim being turned as one possibility, of course. :)

I sometimes roll for possible death, it depends on the save. Sims need to roll higher than the sum of their uncomfortable moodlets - the one from the bite already is +2.

I remember before they "fixed" the invasion feature.

I wonder how many actually remember the community lot invasions vampires used to do, which prevented anyone from leaving the neighborhood, and they never actually bit anyone. That was annoying.

I wonder at what point in fixing that did they screw up the home invasions?

I actually remember that. I was ready to go back home when I suddenly couldn't. Build and buy was also disabled because of the vampire invasion.

I had home invasions happen post-fix. I just had to send all sims to sleep. Sometimes I do think that everytime a vampire knocks on the door at night, it's because the game failed to launch a break-in because some of the sims were awake.

Still, I remember a great tale I got from it. An old couple went sleeping and then a vampire broke in and drank from the husband. So the wife learned some vampire lore, tracked that vampire down, and challenged him to a fight. In the end, the old lady won the fight against the vampire.
