Vampire Hunters?
Is this actually a thing in the game? Like there are sims who will try and cure your vampire?

Have you seen a PG rated movie lately? or television show? the violence is, well, staggering, you would think, for a PG rating. PG isn't G. In the Sims you can burn to death while out in the sun (if you're a vampire), you can die to fire, electrocution, and drowning, none of which I would call pleasant.
You can have violence in PG rated games as long as it isn't gratuitous. So, stabbing, but, no blood for example, would meet the PG requirement. The presence of blood, would make it adult. It's one of the reasons why, for example, in a show like The Vampire Dairies, when the vampires drink, it's always very short, and shows next to no blood, to keep the PG rating. In True Blood, they do the opposite, lots of mouths on wounds, and blood, dripping everywhere, because its for mature audiences only.
I write for a living, so, I'm very aware, and studied up on what you can do, and not do, at various rating levels. It might seem like a fine line to you, which is totally fair, but from the ratings board stand point, they do draw that distinction.
