Vampires
dedust:
The vampires seem to show up in mirrors, and that's just wrong. At least mine did, though it could be a bug too. Also the 'coffin' is kinda stupid, they don't really sleep inside, just hover on top without even changing to nightwear.
Other than these minor annoyances, I think the vampires are far better than TS2 versions. At least they don't have that stupid skintone that covered their makeup.

Clearly people don't want dracula.
Doesn't matter what they want, you can't make everyone happy when putting vampires anywhere, simply because there are so many interpretations. I'm pretty happy with Dracula interpretation and think it would actually be funny if they were sex predators, but it's a 12's-friendly game, so they can't obviously do that. No instant death in the sun is actually there for practical reasons, too, as mentioned several posts above. And I guess the coders didn't want to make it impossible to fulfill most of the opportunities for vampire sims.
Besides, there are so many screw-ups in this EP, vampires are like least of the problems.

I think that one is for the sake of graphic engine sanity. Reflections are reflections in the game, if they wanted to omit some elements in those, they'd need a separate render, as far as I know, which would be quite resource-heavy.
Gastfyr:
One change that would immensely improve vampires imo would be to change the word "plasma" to "blood" in all vampire related instances. The only place I know of where this would look stupid is "blood juice box" but then again "plasma juice box" already looks pretty stupid.
As far as the juice boxes go, they'd be better if they gave some sort of negative moodlet similar to "tastes like fridge" or the WA one from eating low quality dried food. In fact, you could just use "tastes like fridge"; that'd work for me. Of course, I find the entire idea of free food from the fridge to be offensive, regardless of the type of sim who's eating it.
Of course some sort of unfriendly drink is a must. Why the heck else do all non-vampires feel "hunted" around unfriendly vamps?
Claeric:
"Hunted" is implied to literally only be there so that you can tell there's a vampire in the room.
And I believe "Plasma" was chosen in place of "Blood" because the "meat" of the blood, blood cells, is only found in blood plasma (which is 55% of the blood), and even then 91% of blood plasma is water. So it makes more sense to drink plasma than blood, because you benefit more from it for the same amount of liquid.
So they compensate for the fact that it isn't fresh from a kill by making it plasma instead of whole blood, I guess.
Though the fact that it's stored in the fridge and not microwaved or anything is silly. You'd think they'd prefer it warm. That alone is reason enough for it to give a negative moodlet.
Moryrie:
I don't see any issue with the juice boxes apart from the name. Just call it, "Synthesized Plasma" and you're good to go. Hell, Underworld mentions Synthesized Plasma as a big money maker for the vampires. =P
