Can't leave restaurant because of vampire break in

Movotti

It's happened several times

My sims go out for a lovely meal, when it's time to go home, they can't because apparently a vampire is breaking in. This causes them to be stuck at the restaurant until the sun comes up. I can't switch to sims at home during this time, nor exit to play another family.

Anyone else had it happen?
Anyone got any fixes for it?

It's a known bug. If you have MCCC you can click on the vampire choose sim cheats I believe it is and then click make sim leave. It can be hard though sometimes to know who the vampire is. I once cleared out the entire bar in Windenburg just so my sim didn't have to stay the night.

@Pamtastic72 Thank you.
At least now I know it's known. I thought it probably would be a know issue

I wonder if giving my sims earlier nights out might dodge it.

Yeah they fixed it in a patch awhile back, but it seems to have broken again.

Had this happen to me quite frequently. One of the reasons I no longer play any of my saves with vampires in them. From what I've seen in the forums it looks like vampires are rather much null and void with bug issues.

Eh, I've had some inconveniences but they're still quite playable.

I put some park benches on the lot, so my Sim family can nap until the Vampire is gone, and they can go home. That, or go to the bar for another drink. Or maybe I'll have them look at the train that's on display (a boxcar and caboose), since my restaurant is a former train station.

I tried to give my Sims lots of things to do, just in case a Vampire prevents them from leaving. I REALLY WISH this bug was fixed though, since it's a real pain in the quistor!

You've got some good ideas there!
Maybe I should put an "apartment" up stairs from my restaurants. A couple of beds, a shower and a telly should keep my sims ready for anything, when they get stuck waiting for sunrise.
