So what's been fixed in NL
Inge:
I made a hack to stop sims cleaning up plates when they are out.

I've spent the last few days reading all the posts in this thread and I don't recall anyone mentioning a problem with influencing non-playable vampires to drink the cure. Then again, maybe I'm the only one having the problem. :P
I can't get any non-playable sim to be inluenced into drinking the cure. I've tried with grand vampires and townies/npcs turned vampires. My sim will walk over to them and I'm pretty sure they do the 'hey buddy, know what I want you to do' routine but nothing ever happens. No drinking of the cure and no influence points lost.
I can't get it to work either. I've read several posts (maybe not on this site) saying the same things. It appears to be a bug.

If this is a bug (and Maxis somehow misses it in the patch), here is some relevant info:
# Group = 0x7FD1A4B4, Instance = 0x1022
# Title = Influenced - Drink Vampire Cure
This routine makes the influencee (the vampire, in this case) look for the closest "Potion - Vampire Cure" and use it.
C.S.:

It was discussed in the Vamprocillin-D thread.

My Sims can't get into the cemetery in Downtown! The car procedes normally, but when "I" arrive, the lot is in Build Mode (with red paused frame).
Update ~ sorry it took so long, but there's this game that has me totally hooked...
As was suggested on a less awesome forum, I put Gothier Green Lawns (GGL) into the bin, then back in place. TA DA! I was then able to have a Sim enter the lot normally, via Taxi. Six headstones greeted her on the curb, all from the same family. That must have been quite a disaster. However, I need tombstones on graves, not on the curb.
So, sent Sim home and reentered lot in Build Mode.
Tombstones gone.
I repeated these steps four times: single Sim by Taxi, single Sim by Car, group by Taxi, group by Car. The tombstones appear on the curb in Live Mode with active Sims, but are gone when the lot is entered in Build Mode.
I even had one Sim place a tombstone in Inventory and take it home. Once home, I had her "Move Grave" back to GGL. When I had her visit GGL then, that tombstone did not appear. There were only five on the curb.
The missing- and then vanishing-tombstone problem has been reported on other forums, so I know it's not isolated like the Gothier-Build-Only problem. I'm not up to trying any of the contortions suggested like putting tombstones in Inventory, changing lot status from Community to Residential, moving Sim-with-tombstones in, placing tombstones, moving out, returning lot to Community status AUGHHHHHHHH! I want to PLAY, not WORK!!
I was able to move the tombstones successfully to the cemetery I built in the regular Neighborhood ~ simply using "Move Grave" option ~ where they show up and behave. I selfishly don't even care if Maxis fixes this, as my single in-play Gothier Green Lawns has already been converted to a hot Pagan night-spot with lovely gargoyles on every "grave."
I don't mean this to sound like a diatribe. Just updating info on the one major problem I've found in my installation.
