I can’t personally as, although I own the pack, I haven’t actively tried playing it yet. That was how one of the gurus explained it would work but I have since heard that they have programmed some sort of story that plays out. Apparently you can stop that just by deleting Vlad before you play any other households. I’ve not looked into it in great detail.

Yes, actually I had. I found an elderly lady (wanted my semi-good vamp sim to befriend her for dinner…) But then I found that I didn’t get the option to bite her… Because she was also a vampire! So I then made my vampire and the old lady have a friendly fight.
It’s not ideal for those who prefer to ignore the existence of vampires, preferring to play with normal Sims, but it doesn’t look like much can be done for it right now…
Of course, I don’t mind it so much as every single time I play, I can’t help but delve into the wackier side of it (I even love the so-called disappointments known as the Sims 4 aliens, and the ghosts… Though it IS annoying having loads of ghost acquaintances in your relationship panel…)
But anyway, I hope the pack wasn’t a waste of money for you, and that you still enjoy it (I, personally, love the fact that you can now make ruined, abandoned houses actually LOOK ruined and abandoned! *gasp* I should write a story about homeless people!… Nah! One story at a time).

Yeah, actually, there are vampire townies. If you have the vampire nexus lot trait even more will spawn. They only appear at night and they don’t do anything but maybe knock on your door and do idle animations. With other vampires they may play with their powers but they’re pretty unintrusive. More spawn in Forgotten Hollow and most wear the clothing from Vampires (some in pretty competent outfits even!). So far most are elders in my experience.

They still won’t bite or turn Sims. However, if you live in Forgotten Hollow and don’t have garlic all over the place, you may very rarely find a local vampire breaking in and sucking your Sims’ blood. I’ve gotten them to visit three times, trying really, really hard to get them so it seems very rare but put a wreath or two of garlic around and you should be fine if you happen to settle down in Forgotten Hollow.

If you have graves and send the ghost to the netherworld (or whatever that interaction is called) the ghosts won’t show up and over populate your town like that. And you can still keep the physical grave around, I believe, if that is important for you.

You get them manly in forgotten hollow at night but to be fair unless you are looking for them you can just ignore them . I don’t think it will have any real effect t on your gameplay

Thanks for the reply! I don’t currently use any mods but I’m not against using them. I’ll have to look into that to see if they have the option to disable vampires yet. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply! Now that the pack has been out for a few days have you noticed if there are any vampire townies running around aside from the premade vampire families? Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply! Now that the pack is out can you confirm that just deleting the premade vampire families will keep vamps out of my game?

Thanks for the reply! I have not bought the vampire pack yet because I am concerned about them completely taking over the town. Still holding out hope they add the option to turn off the supernaturals. Even having the occasional alien in disguise walking around bothers me haha

Thanks for the reply! Now that the pack is out can you confirm if it’s just the occasional walk by or does it seem like there are a lot of vampires running around? Thanks again!
