I’ve seen this happen with some similar events, but this was the worst. My vampire Sim went to give a guest lecture at university on a sunny day, and their energy kept dropping as though they were still outside throughout the lecture. Then when they reappeared after the lecture was done, they died of sun exposure instantly.

@Sylvaton To be sure, this is for rabbithole events ?

[Sylvaton]

@crinrict ... I don’t actually know what you mean by “rabbithole event”.

[crinrict]

@Sylvaton Rabbitholes are buildings where the Sims disappear into and you don't play them during that time. Like the lecture hall. As opposed to something that takes place on another lot and you play them.

[Sylvaton]

@crinrict Yes. All were rabbit hole events.

[crinrict]

@Sylvaton and you see this only for Uni rabbithole events or also for others like when they go to work normally ?

[Sylvaton]

I've only seen it for a couple of uni events -- this "give a guest lecture" one, and I think for my graduation on another vampire Sim, and I feel like at least one other similar event but I can't remember it now. Never for regular classes, though. Oh! I remember -- I think it was giving my presentation, maybe? Another common thread is that I start on campus for these events, as opposed to going from home.

[crinrict]

@Sylvaton OK. Thanks for all the info.

I'll mark this as needs input to see if anyone else has this issue. Haven't personally tested.

@Sylvaton Have you tried drinking a Sunlight Reversal cocktail before doing these events? Won't fix the problem but it should help your vampires live through it.

You learn the Sunlight Reversal recipe at level 11 of Vampire Lore.
