@genesisxo26 Hello! In my experience, it varies a little per game. One thing I've noticed is that the chances diminish the longer you play a household. If you haven't seen Vlad within the first week or so, it gets less and less likely that he'll show up. (By the way, I've only ever had Vlad break in and none of the other in-game vampires but again that's just my experience.) So perhaps try this in a new save. Within a day or two of moving in, your sim should get a text from Vlad, welcoming them to the neighborhood and commenting on what a lovely neck they have. Try to go to bed fairly shortly after this text. I would say midnight might be a little too late and probably a 10 o'clock bedtime is better. You might have to experiment a little bit and you may have to test a few different saves. @CGrant56 is right that Vlad will not attempt a break-in if any sim is awake. I've even seen him walking up to the house only to turn around and go home, though sometimes he does come up to the door and knock. If you do see him come a-knocking, note what time it is. Then prepare to have your sims go to bed before that time the next night. Hope this helps!
If vlad knocks do i answer?
Also if I don’t hear from him by the second day does that mean he definitely won’t show up? Like if I don’t get the text
@genesisxo26 I can't say for sure how many days to wait since I don't really know if there is any definite pattern. Still, I'd say give it at least a full sim week. You may never get a text, but If you do I think it's a strong indicator that he's making plans to visit. Put your sims on a schedule for a 10 pm bedtime every night. If Vlad shows up before 10 and knocks on the door, I think it's okay to invite him in if you want. Just be sure to send everyone home and go to bed at 10. I'm not saying this is guaranteed to work, just something I suggest based on my observations of Vlad's behavior.
Funny enough I finally got it to happen! But only when my sim lived in same neighborhood as vlad and went to bed at 10
