Vampire Sim Bites Different Target Than Person Selected

I am sorry for putting this here but the report page will not let me submit my report (been trying for nearly an hour) and I am trying to find out if this is a bug or if I'm not understanding what's taking place.

My female vampire does not "Compel for deep drink" sim I selected, but a different sim close by. It has happened twice.

Both times this has happened were very similar situations. The similarities include:

  • Took place at the Stargazer Lounge in San Myshuno
  • Sim was trying to bite a celebrity
  • Celebrity was in the middle of a crowd being ogled and adored
  • Redirected to bite male in crowd
  • Action changes to show new target but does not allow me to cancel it


Sim was able to feed off the targeted celebrity after the redirected bite took place and she also successfully fed off another celebrity right after the incident (that celeb was not surrounded by a crowd). I am wondering if the crowd is interfering in some way.

I have all expansions and packs. CC but no mods. Play on PC. Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Was your sim in an angry mood or completely depleted his/her thrist bar? only think I can think of beside bug is Drink Uncontrollaby action which cant be canceled and autonomous.
  • Both great points, but she was neither of those.

    On the first celebrity her bar was half full. On the second her bar was 3/4 full. She wasn't angry either time.

    My thought process is basically like... she can't interact with the celebrity while they're being adored by the public. This makes sense. It's like its own mini-event that my sim can't interfere with.
    But then, why doesn't the action simply cancel? I feel like the fact that she can't target the celeb is intended, but the redirect itself is a bug of some kind.

    Gosh I hope that made any sense.
  • Last time I played a vampire - happened to me too. Don't think it was a celebrity targeted either - seems to happen if the sim they are trying to target is busy or trying to leave - definitely a bug as it should just cancel, not redirect.
