This sounds like a bug that was posted here previously where unplayed vampires had no energy and didn't do their special vampire run, move like a bat, etc.
I always mark every vampire household in my game as played, even if I've no intentions of playing them long-term, so I never see this. I always replace the EA premade vampire households, with my redone versions, set up my townie vampire households, and then move on from them. From there I always see them acting as they should.
It's a weird bug, for sure.

The vampires are still broken in my game, have been since the patch before Cats and Dogs was released. That solution accepted to my original bug post, is a contradiction to the bug report. Vampires never had energy issues prior to the disabling of there speed runs, mist etc. Changing that is what caused the energy not to regenerate on unplayed vampires.
I hardly ever see them anymore, Caleb was spawned in my neighbourhood but stood on the same spot doing nothing but complaining about no energy, never moved in several hours until my Sim changed lots. Lilith was spawned as a barmaid in the lounge in Brindleton Bay, she never entered the lounge just stood there idling. She never burned up though and it was day time while she stood in the sun, for a few hours.

VAMPIRE AI BUGGED ??
Recent issue here with vampires on residential lots. They seem to not do anything.
- Have tried removing mod after mod that I could think of that affects vampire mechanics (still no go)
- Visited Vlad at his house; had to add him to group to tell him to get in his own house before he burned to death
- Caleb and Lilith always seem to be energy starved because they can't apparently take care of themselves...
- Brand new game (re-install; no mods) -> New Game -> Created vampire sim; moved to Forgotten Hollow -> Welcome wagon (caleb), invited in, he just stands around and does nothing.
- All other sims are fine (99% of the time)
- My Sim is fine (no lag issue or anything like that), it's only the Vampires that seem to have this issue.
Anyone else having this problem? I have not found another thread like it...

I’ve caught my played sim as an “NPC” hang around in the middle of the city, just sitting at a bench, doing nothing, as embers came off him. I had to switch households so I could direct him inside before he died.
He’s also died once coming over to a sims house after being invited on a date. Got through the front door in flames, then dropped dead- even after trying the “make happy” cheat on him. This was while he was in NPC mode- my played sim invited him.
I’m worried to leave him now lol. He might just kill himself while out for his mid-morning stroll!
His power points and options are bugged, so despite being Grand Master Vamp, I can’t reallocate his points to the sun resistance.
I’m currently playing him now, and just caught him dancing outside in the sun as embers floated off him...

Fixed an issue where NPC Vampires would have their Vampire Energy drained after completing a load, which was causing them to idle in place instead of performing their expected autonomous behavior.
Fixed in Patch 1.51.75
If this is still an issue on console, please create a new thread for console
If it's still an issue for PC/Mac, please comment here.
Good Luck
