We need a self-preservation mod or patch.

My favorite Vampire Sim is sun sensitive--very sun sensitive. Yep, she has level 3 thin skin (traditional) weakness. Yet she is not immune to object advertising (that's the code that make a Sim want to use the object) The higher the advertising that more likely the Sim is to use the object.
So being married to a human athletic husband I got him a basketball hoop. So the next thing I know she is outside shooting hoops and frying to death at the same time. I have two options: 1. Delete the hoop or 2. Put the hoop indoors or at least cover it.
In another instance she went on a date with her spouse. They returned home at the same time. She left the lot first as a bat and he walked to the exit point thus creating a delay. When he gets home she is still standing outside and its too late to save her. The work around was to have had her make and drink the sun resistance drink before I ended the date.
There really needs to be a patch or mod that will give all vamps a "self protection from the sun" override unless they have the sun walker power.

But elaborate on "Self-Protection" at first it sounds like You want vampires nerfed so they can walk in the sun...
But now I I just think you want another way to go out in the sun other than a sun resistance elixir
Maybe when Seasons comes, that patch before it, will do that. My hope is, that Patch will include basic weather, like temperature change, Cloudy, possibly rain, and all CAS clothing will give a have warmth bonus. in turn for vampires, certain outfits would grant protection from the sun like the Sun Hat, or an out fit that shows no skin.
My Mood:
I wish vampires, if we aren't currently playing them, worked like Sims 2 vampires where they would not come out during the day at all and you could only invite them over at night.
As a secret agent she goes to work in the morning and comes home at night so she is relatively safe, but I have her take the sunlight reversal drink before she goes to work. But I have had her just stand around in the sun when she came home when she had daylight hours. I cured that by queuing up the fly as bat command to fly inside so that it triggered the minute she got back.
One of my sim ladies visited the house, and lo and behold, the vampire guy is dancing to the back patio radio while frying in the mid-day sun.
Vampires have no self-preservation at all, and it's silly. They should KNOW better than to walk outside unless they have the sun protection trait maxed to 3 or use a potion.
This happens across all my sims. I give them a command and it just queues even if there are no other commands. The sim just stands there for 5-10 seconds. Vampires notice when they burn but due to the delay sometimes they dont notice and when they have another command, manually or autonomously, queued they ignore the burning skin and eventually die.
I have been having the same issue but I actually think it came from the toddler update since I don't have Vampires yet (so it can't be them for me at least) and it started right around the end of January.
Even though I don't have Vamps yet (soon very soon) I do think this is a good idea that makes sense especially there seems to be so many people having an issues with it.
Just some edits to that sentence.
Even though I don't have Vamps yet (soon very soon) I do think this is a good idea to put in a system that makes them seek shelter especially since there seems to be so many people having an issues with it.

i don't really see the necessity for a mod which does this especially since it can already be accomplished in the game..
but furthermore I think the OP is satisfied with having a vampire who is extremely sensitive to sunlight for their own gameplay experience. they just don't want the sim to go out into the sunlight autonomously and get themselves killed.

Which is why I wrote that this mod "it might be something some of you are interested in"

Which is a great thing to add to cover a pointless comment, of course, but since this is a topic about vampire autonomy and not about rejecting a feature of vampire gameplay, i don't think it will interest many people here at all!

Is there anything you don't understand? At least OP seems to be interested.
I disagree.
Thread Title :WE NEED A SELF-PRESERVATION MOD OR PATCH.
The OP seems interested. At least enough to entertain the idea.

OP didn't ask for a change which makes their vampire traits useless, rather for an override which will protect the sim when they choose to do autonomous actions that don't make sense to their weaknesses (or an end to that situation happening in the first place).
if the OP wanted their vampire to not get hurt by the sun they would have just given their vampire sun resistance.
Now, is there something you don't understand? : )
(◡‿◡✿)
Again, if they didn't want a vampire who was weak to sunlight, they would not have given their vampire level 3 weakness!
So no, OP is not interested in this idea!

Maybe you should try to understand the whole converstation, not only a part of it.
Come back soon!
