Former Townies Being Randomly Bitten
simmiecal:
The first random sim to be bit in my game (after I influenced the grand vamp to bite one of my sims) was one of my payable sims that I created in CAS that was visiting a downtown lot (meaning I wasn't controlling her at the time). The majority of sims that are being bitten are NPCs and townies but my playable sims are being bitten when they happen to be on community lots.
It's a pain in the butt when I go to load one of my lots. I may have saved the game while a sim was gardening or swimming and then when I load the lot, they are doing the same thing but now they are a vampire and I have the fun of having to buy a coffin and getting them inside ASAP. Luckily, I always pause the lot before I do a save so that gives me the chance to queue up the necessary actions.
The vampires are fun to play but I'm not liking how it's starting to run wild in my neighborhood. I have noticed that as I stopped "curing" some of my playable sims that the "infection" rate has slowed so maybe I have hit my 10% limit (see a lot of vamps tho). I really need a VanHelsing sim that can go to the community lots and autonomously "cure" some vamps.

Okay, one more time. Vampires do not bite 10% of townies/population. This is a Prima guide myth/misedit/whatever.
Here's how vamps work:
1) Downtown starts with 4 GrandVamps (GVs).
2) A GV will not bite anyone until they get to know (70/70) one of your selectable sims.
3) A GV will then randomly bite one of those known (70/70) selectable sims and acquire the token that permits them to bite other sims.
From this point on, all vampires (except for GVs that don't have the token) work like this:
1) If the victim is selectable, they can be bit *any time*.
2) If the vampire is selectable they can bite anyone else *any time*.
3) If the vampire and the victim are not selectable, they can be bit unless there are already 10 living vampire NPCs (*not* 10%).

I have a sudden urge to see a combat mod that lets you to stake Vampires and blow the heads off Zombie Sims with a shotgun.

Good idea, though I'd go flamethrower. ;) Plus, you could use the existing object.
Process Denied:
I was wondering why only two of the four vampires were biting. I thought that only one vampire had to bite and then they all could. Townies and NPC's are not the only ones at risk. Darren Dreamer has been bitten 3 times(so I think that when they are cured they might no longer count towards the 10% pop.) Dirk was bitten with no relationship with the countess. I do have to say that they have good choices in townies(Amin and Kennedy). Don got bitten because he picked a fight with the Count. I let him suffer for a while for his stupidity.
