Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything prior to High School Years
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a vampire and at least one "plasma donor" sim in the same household. Have the vampire successfully ask for permission to feed. Unsure if certain ages, occults, or relbits have any effect on the bug's occurrence.
What happens when the bug occurs? After ~12 hours the vampire's victim/plasma donor receives a text message shaming them as though they were a vampire feeding without permission ("I can't believe that you've been drinking people's blood without their permission. That's just not right!") despite the fact that: a) They are not a vampire, and b) The vampire that did feed from them was given permission to do so
What do you expect to see? To only get these text messages delivered to a vampire, and not to their victim. To not get these text messages at all when the vampire successfully got permission to feed.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

The vampire is a teenager, and the donor receiving the texts is her adopted alien mother. I'm unsure if the vampire's age or the victim's alien occult or their familial relationship has any effect on whether they get texted. Since I've noticed the bug I've been using these two sims over the course of one sim week, and the text message seems to occur almost 100% of the time.

The vampire also has a human teenage sister (the biological daughter of their alien mother), and I've so far been unable to recreate the issue with her. She seems particularly adverse to being fed on, but on the few occasions she's given her permission I haven't noticed any bogus vampire-shaming text messages.

I can't say for sure whether this started happening before or after the latest update, as I normally ignore my sims' phones.

Note in the attached screenshot that the incoming text message accuses the Sim of feeding without permission, but in their Needs window you can see that the sim is missing any aspects of the Vampire Needs window, and is clearly not a vampire.

@HoshinoKuma This is an older bug that was fixed a while ago. Maybe it's not for certain Sims.

Are both teens ingame born ?

[HoshinoKuma]

@crinrict  -  The vampire teen was adopted over the phone, and the half-alien teen was born in-game. Their mother was created two days ago in CAS as a fresh household, if that makes any difference.

[crinrict]

@HoshinoKuma Just wanted to be sure there's no gallery Sims involved as old bug sometimes persist on certain Sims.

I actually found this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/V-Vampire-drank-my-blood-and-i-was-accused-of-drinking-blood/t... that's still open.

That sounds like what you are seeing, right ?

[HoshinoKuma]

@crinrict - That's the one! I couldn't find any similar posts when I did my own search. I'll go add a "me too" to it - thanks for giving me your time

[crinrict]

@HoshinoKuma I merged your report then.

I’m having this bug, too, with a human sim married to a vampire sim (both raised from teenagers). I don’t think I had the bug prior to installing High School Years, but it’s been happening lately. The human sim is one I played since prior to HSY (teen prior to HSY), but the vampire sim was created after HSY (as a teen), and both were sims I created in my own game, not downloaded from Gallery. I’m not sure if that makes a difference but thought I’d mentioned it. I’ve had the Vampires pack for a long time and hadn’t had this issue before that I can recall. (My game is patched to 1.91.205.1020.)
