My last game my vampire sims drank water almost continuously if I didn't have them doing anything else. As soon as the queue was finished they went to drink water. I think the only fix is to remove the drink water option from all sinks.

The excessive water drinking issue is the reason that I never hand out apartment keys. Whenever a keyholder comes over, they immediately go to the nearest sink and drink water. If I put that sink in the family inventory, they go right to the next available sink. For keyholders, drinking water is literally prioritized above any other interaction. Seriously, right after they finish their current glass, they instantly go for another one. They don't even clean up after themselves, just littering the whole place with empty drink glasses. Sure, my own Sims will sometimes drink water on their own, but it's not to as nearly an unbearable level as keyholders will. What I dislike more is frequent autonomous mixology drink making because that costs simoleons, unlike water.

This is really irritating that this hasn't been fixed for several years. I notice that the most extreme cases of this happening are visitors to certain lots. One particular visitor to the lot will drink glass after glass of water until she leaves, on every single visit. She leaves a bunch of empty glasses all over the apartment and I am pretty sure that this is what is making her constantly gain weight.

Update on my water drinking situation: I finally had to install a mod after dealing with my legacy founder's husband constantly drinking water for too long. The founder would do it as well, but not to nearly as bad an extent as her husband. I wonder if it might be because he originally had the glutton trait but I changed it (he was a randomly generated townie)? That's beside the point, though, I think. The point is that I had to have him under constant supervision, otherwise he was always autonomously getting water. If I would shift control to another Sim for even a minute, I would often go back to the husband to find him at the sink. Sometimes when controlling him, I would go back to the wife to find her at the sink. Smelly, empty glasses scattered about the house were a common occurrence along with their bladder needs quickly diving into the yellow and red.
Seriously, mod creators are a lifesaver!

I use no autonomous mod as-well because the autonomous in the game is horrible. It's annoying that sims always want to run to the sink to get water none stop. I also found it odd that a vampire sim can drink water and not get sick from it or any other substance other than plasma.

Active Sims won't try to drink so dang much during a party. Once they have a refreshing beverage, they should be good.
Not going to mark this as fixed cause it wasn't only parties for me.
Let me know how we're doing on this.
Good Luck

there's now less autonomous drinking from the sink, and more autonomous drinking (orange juice) from the fridge. XD
