Figures the first time I'm playing a vampire Sim and when I switched to another household, he dies of thirst. The first time it happened, he was invited over to the household I was currently playing. Next thing I knew he's disintegrating into a pile of dust! This wasn't what I wanted so I just didn't save the game.
Then I started the game over again and changed some of the events but basically the same plot. This time, he was smart enough to go to the refrigerator and get a plasma drink so I figured everything was all set. Since he was again visiting the household I was playing, I focused my attention on the other Sims. Next thing I know, the camera shifts over and my vampire Sim dies again!
Since it now takes 30 minutes to load my game, I wasn't going to waste more time starting over. I had the witch he lives with retrieve his urn and she cast the reanimation spell on it. Even the witch screwed up because the first time she cast the spell it backfired and turned her into a zombie. After her zombie spell passed, she successfully reanimated my vampire Sim. Now he's a Vampire/Zombie hybrid. I'm guessing the zombie part will wear off after a while. The funniest thing was when I checked his inventory, there were 3 plasma fruits that he could've eaten!
My vampire Sim is incompetent! Is there no way to prevent vampires from dying of thirst when you're not playing them?

1 - at a high enough level witches have a hunger/thirst charm. You could try that the next time he visits and he should be ok for a while.
2 - maybe try stockpiling plasma fruit in his inventory before switching households?
I guess I'll use the storyline that he's still new at being a vampire and screwed up.
Maybe my vampire Sim is SO unlucky he can fry from sunlight even while still indoors???
Seriously? That's pretty cool, did not know that. My Sims in Sims 3 so rarely die. I get attached and keep prolonging their lives.

Mostly likely he decided to spend too much time outside while you had switched over to another household. Once they get that negative moodlet because of this their thirst needs will drop extremely fast. It happened to me, and when I realized what caused it, I would have to wake my vampire up at least two or three times while they were sleeping so they would no kill over from dying from thirst. When I first started playing the vampires, I just could not keep a single one alive, or is it undead for very long.
I had this one newly converted vampire a while back, and with her she was totally miserable. She loved the sun, and being outdoors. I finally got tired of fighting her, that I sent her to the science building to purchase the cure. Now normally most vampires, when I direct them to drink that stuff they take like forever in doing so, but not her; She drank it right away.
