Zombie Apocalypse: BRAIIIIIIINS!

Hmmm, I understand your point, pedantic though it may be; however, vampires are supernatural beings - women who take iron supplements are not. :P

Actually, with no fiber, just blood, it would look very like tar. It's only logical... blood goes in the top, something's going to come out the bottom!

Grand vampires are the only vampires that autonomously bite. Non-grand vampires will only bite when diected or influenced to. This appears to be Maxis-standard behavior.
Any chance of a 'Children of the Night' mod, with autonomous vampire biting for non-counts/countesses?
I agree. I would love to see a bit more autonomous biting. Hrm... maybe this should be more of a twojeffs mod? Something similar to ACR, where non-counts/countesses will vampify their respective teh Ones. That would be neat and some what more "realistic" at least as far as most vampiric lore (that I am familiar with) goes. It sorta makes sense that counts/countesses would go around randomly vamping and building up their "army of dark minions" or whatever. But I think non-count/countesses should be able to vampify teh One that they could spend the rest of eternity with, or whatever.

Gah! All I want is a more realistic vampire that must feed from other sims in order to survive. Sorry to have derailed the zombie apocolypse thread, but if zombies can eat brains, why can't vampires drink blood instead of eating normal food (and consequently having to use the toilet, which is just SILLY)?
I also agree with this. I would like to see a non-conflicty, officially More Awesome Than You "kiss of the vampire" kind of hack, that simply allows a vamp to "feed" off of their victims without necessarily turning the victim into a vamp, and possibly permitting the option to kill the sim off, or in the very least, it saps all of their energy, comfort, and perhaps other stuff, like hygiene and fun, pretty much dropping them down into the reds. So maybe they could die of exhaustion instead, or what not.

For whatever reason, I cannot send my vampires to their coffins unless they are at least 50% tired, even with Monique's vampire sleep caller (I don't use JM's sleep clock).
See I just don't understand this. Another person in another thread was talking about the same problem. I've never had that problem before. The second the sun rises I click the "sleep in pajamas" option on the coffin and the vampires go to sleep and do not wake up until dark unless they have a job. And all of their needs including energy are totally green when I do this. That is the way it is suppose to work in the game. I think maybe there is a hack conflict of some kind in your game to make where they can't go to sleep until their energy is down. Maybe not, but I can't imagine why there would be such a difference in our games.
As for whether vampires should have to use the bathroom (a fascinating subject), personally I take miros point of view on the subject. What goes in must come out even if you are supernatural. I understand the other side too...the whole absolutely undead and supernatural being (like in Anne Rice's novels) that has no bodily fluids left nor do they make anymore after they die and then become the undead. Thus they don't cry those oh so cute bloody tears that emo kids love so much either. If I remember correctly in Anne Rice's novels the blood goes to feed the supernatural entity that resides in each vampire. And then if we go back to the very earliest myths about vampires, I doubt such things were even considered by their tellers. To them vampires were living corpes that sucked the life blood of the living and beyond techniques to ward them off, I doubt much else of the vampires life (or unlife as it were) concerned them. ;)

Yeah, what he said. We need more random death. Besides it would be great for a zombie hood with something like this as well.
ETA: Though I still think vamps should have a penchant for young virgins and a preference for their blood.
