Vampires Thread

[TheChronicR]

Almost every Community lot in Twinbrook has a grave on it. Pretty Creepy...

Umm... Not all of them  That would really be scary. So many ghosts! But, seriously, there are graves only in the small Junkyard, Graveyard (of course...), and the Laundromat. I wonder are those graves are transferred automatically, if one copies the Laundromat and puts it in Sunset Valley?

That Sim reminded me of Macy Clay and Lacy Darer, both deceased in Twinbrook. If you want to know more info on him, go here. He has only 3 traits, 9 levels Athletic, 6 in Cooking skills.

He is an odd one indeed.  Not because of the 3 traits, but because of the fact that he doesn't appear to be a vampire when resurrected.  Yet, he is clearly a vampire when he's a ghost.

There's also ones at the diner and the museum.

And several lots also have urns.  I know plasma 501 has several around the club.

Can we control how many vampires are in the town which we choose to play?  I think it would be nice to be able to set/control how many vampires (or celebs/paps) are in your town.  Like if you're doing a challenge and all the vampire NPCs are trying to consume your delicious blood... it can mess up your game if you're not saving often.  Just saying!

No there isn't. I'm one of the players who loves vampires so I wouldn't even if I could!  Welcome to the forums Biancasimone!

No, sadly, we can't. It would be useful, but there is no such setting.

I think the vampires in the Sims are cool and all, but come on already lol.  Vampirism seems to spread quicker than the Bubonic Plague did during the Dark Ages.

[Shenice93]

Such is the price we pay for story progression.

[Esther1981]

I don't know about the plague, but I also don't know why everyone is complaining. I happen to love vamps and I have no problem with it spreading fast!! If I wasn't playing a Dynasty, I would more than likely be playing vampires! I love vampires!! 

[Hosfac]

The reason I'm complaining is that if you follow the spread to it's logical conclusion, you'll eventually be living in a vampire town where everyone is basically a vegan, regardless of their traits.

Oh ok. I never thought of it that way. Vampires can't eat meat?! When I play I have make needs static so they don't have to eat that's why I'm asking.

A vampire's favorite way of fulfilling their thirst is obviously biting people.  They get a version of the tasty meal moodlet (called "Sated") from biting a random sim, and they get a really good one for biting a hunt target.  They get an 8 hour +50 "Sanguine Snack" moodlet, and their thirst remains at max for as long as the moodlet persists.

Another way of fulfilling thirst is to consume plasma fruit, or something made with it.  They can even cook and eat regular dishes that require fruit by substituting plasma fruit, and it will fill their thirst motive.  Normal sims will get sick eating this food, and a vampire will get sick eating normal food.

Using the latter, you can actually have a vegetarian vampire.  Of course, biting people will make them nauseous.

[Esther1981]

That's good to know! Thank you Hosfac!

For some reason, it's hysterical to me that Esther loves vampires, but plays with needs static and misses out on the primary thing about vampires. 

My current vampire doesn't get sick from eating regular food, but it doesn't satisfy her thirst at all.  Sometimes she sits down to eat a meal with the family just to hang out with them.  She's also eaten a lot of apples and watermelon to get a particular gender baby and doesn't get sick from it.  However, she does get sick if she eats garlic!  That's all that happens, too.  She eats garlic, gets the 2 hour nauseous moodlet, then runs to throw up when it runs out.

I'm also experiencing the fang phenomenon.  The mother was turned from a regular Sim and has fangs.  Her daughter just aged to Young Adult and she has no fangs.  She's got the skin, mark, and eyes, but no fangs.
