What skills can vampires inherit...?
A while back I mentioned that it would be really nice if inherited skills were a more common thing among child vampires. I know that woohooing as bats means that the baby inherits the bat trait and tw...

Wow, thank you for taking the time to go through all your sims like that!
Editing for clarity :)
The female sim (Charlotte) does indeed have sun immunity. Her mother also had sun immunity. Her father, however, was human. She was visiting her human siblings when I first realised she was odd because she wasn't flaming during the day. So thus far I have three sims with added sun immunity that I can't explain.
I have no added points that shouldn't be there. I tend to hoard points to get higher level skills so that's why Gustav has 9.
My own grand master sim (my avatar sim) Aubrey also has sun immunity. He has eight children. None of them have inherited the trait from him. One of his children shares a mother with Giuseppe's son Gustav. Gustav has sun immunity but Aubrey's daughter doesn't (although both parents had sun immunity in her case).
I checked my other vampire dynasty, the Goth inheritance. There are five in the Goth mansion and one daughter who lives with her husband and children nearby.
Grandfather Colby (the patriarch), his son Kane, Kane's wife Eliannah and their two teen children Sy and Grace are all NOT showing sun immunity. The only weirdness I found was that Colby did not have the option to choose Vampiric Slumber although he has no weakness associated with sleep. (This was at home, not on a public lot).
Daughter Dianna and her husband Cameron Kai and brother in law also show no signs.
Cameron Kai is the grandson of Aubrey.
I just repaired my game. I then went and checked Gustav and Giuseppe again. They are still sun immune.
I am leaning towards this being related to the vampire power bug and that it is maybe a lot more complex than we thought. And maybe that's why it hasn't been patched yet, because it is more complex.
I actually LIKE the idea that a trait can be randomly manifested. I think it's more realistic, especially if the parent had that skill, and it would give some bonus for creating vampire dynasties. But arbitrary adding and removing them is a bit...concerning?
