Create-a-Vampire
The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack adds the new “Vampire” life state. Aside from being able to find Vampires throughout the game, and turning into one as you play, players can also use the new “Create-an-Vampire” feature in CAS to make a Vampire family right from the start.
Just like human Sims, Vampires of any age group can be created and customized from head-to-toe. However, because Vampires are a special life state, they do have some additional customization, and boast some unique features like Skin Details, Fangs, Vampire Sockets, and Eye Colors, which are not available to regular Sims.
You can customize a Vampire using any of the Hairstyles, Clothing, and Accessories available within the game, but Vampire Sims also have their very own “Dark Form” option. This allows you to customize the “look” for your Sim when they perform Vampiric actions within the game and change into their “Dark Form”. Creating a Dark Form is optional. If you want both “sides” of your Vampire to look the same, simply use the “Copy Sim to Dark Form” option to carry over their looks to the dark side.
Vampires with “two sides” yield the self-interaction to use the “Dark Form” at any time. Vampires will stay in their Dark Form until commanded to change back. Vampires have many unique interactions and options within the game, so be sure to check out the Vampire section of this guide for further details.

Each of these drinks can be used for special purposes within the game. Everything from Sun Resistance to Vampire Cures, these drinks can do much more than quench a Sim’s thirst.
• Plasma Jane – Just a basic drink for Vampires to enjoy. Human Sims feel ill when consuming this drink as it contains Plasma.
• Sunlight Reversal Cocktail – When consumed by a Vampire, this cocktail gives the 4-hour “Daywalker’s Delight” moodlet. This moodlet allows Vampires to head outdoors during the day without the fear of burning to death…immediately.
• Vampire Resistance Cocktail – When consumed by a Human Sim, this cocktail gives the “Vampire Resistance” moodlet. This moodlet allows Human Sims to resist the mind boggling hypnotic tricks used by vampires.
• Draught of Reconfiguration – When consumed by a Vampire Sim, this cocktail completely resets all of their powers and refunds the power points. This allows you to re-select specific powers and weaknesses to reconfigure your Vampire.
• Ultimate Vampire Cure – This drink has several uses but one main purpose: To Cure Vampires. This cocktail can be taken voluntarily by Vampires to cure their vampirism, or be deliberately thrown onto a Vampire to take away their powers.
Human Sims who have the Vampire Cure cocktail in their inventory and have a less than satisfactory relationship with a Vampire, will eventually see the an option (Mean Social) to “Throw Vampire Cure” at a Vampire. This results in a Vampire losing their powers and turning into a regular Sim.
Human Sims who have the Vampire Cure cocktail in their inventory and have a less than satisfactory relationship with a Vampire, will eventually see the an option (Mean Social) to “Slay Vampire”. If the Human Sim is successful at Slaying the Vampire, it results in a Vampire losing their powers and turning into a regular Sim. If the Human Sim fails to slay the vampire, it becomes nothing more than a wasted drink. Success depends on the Vampire Rank.
❗ Vampires who avoid being slayed receive the “Defeated a Hunter” Moodlet
Vampires who have the Vampire Cure cocktail in their inventory and have a less than satisfactory relationship with another Vampire, will eventually see the an option (Mean Social) to “Slay Vampire”. If the initiating Vampire is successful at Slaying the target Vampire, it results in a Vampire losing their powers and turning into a regular Sim. If the slaying fails, it becomes nothing more than a wasted drink. Success depends on the Vampire Rank.
—————————————————————————————–
Death by Sunlight (Vampires)
Going out into the sunlight during the day will cause a Vampire’s Energy to deplete quickly, which can be deadly. They gain a +2 Uncomfortable moodlet when they first step into the light, and the longer they are exposed to sunlight, the more dangerous it becomes.
If they don’t get out of the sun, their Energy will completely drain and they will burn to a crisp. Vampires are safe indoors and out of direct sunlight. Coffins, even when outside, protect them from Sun as long as they stay safely closed within them.
❗ Vampires with the Sun Resistance and Greater Sun Resistance Powers will gain increased resistance to the sun.
❗ Vampires with the Perfect Sun Resistance Power will gain complete immunity to the sun.
❗ When consumed by a Vampire, the Sunlight Reversal Cocktail gives the 4-hour “Daywalker’s Delight” moodlet. This moodlet allows Vampires to head outdoors during the day for 4 hours without the fear of burning to death.
❗ Vampires with the Thin Skinned weakness will burn faster in Sunlight.
Vampires who pass away and return as ghosts will retain their Vampiric Powers, but they will also retain their weakness to sunlight as ghosts. Vampire Ghosts are the same as their “mortal” counterparts and should be treated as if they never left.
Death by Sunlight can occur faster or slower depending on whether a Vampire has resistance to the sun. Below is a calculation list of the time it takes for Vampires to die with or without different powers and weaknesses.
Time of Death Under Normal Conditions:
Part 1 – +2 uncomfortable “Sizzling Epidermis” moodlet (120 minutes)
Part 2 – +10 Uncomfortable “The Third Degree” moodlet (60 minutes)
Part 3 – Death
Time of Death With the Thin Skinned Weakness Level 1:
Part 1- +3 Uncomfortable “Enhanced Sizzling” (60 minutes)
Part 2 – +10 Uncomfortable “The Third Degree” (33 minutes)
Part 3 – Death
Time of Death With the Thin Skinned Weakness Level 2:
Part 1 – +3 “Uncomfortable Flaming Flesh” (20 minutes)
Part 2 – +10 Uncomfortable “The Third Degree” (15 minutes)
Part 3 – Death
Time of Death With the Thin Skinned Weakness Level 3:
Part 1 – +3 Uncomfortable “Combustible Plasma” (15 minutes)
Part 2 – +10 Uncomfortable “The Third Degree” (6 minutes)
Part 3 – Death
Time of Death With Sun Resistance Power Level 1:
Part 1 – +1 Uncomfortable “Burning Despite Sun Resistance” (224 minutes)
Part 2 – +10 The Third Degree (90 minutes)
Part 3 – Death
Time of Death With Sun Resistance Power Level 2:
Part 1 – +1 Uncomfortable “Burning Despite Greater Sun Resistance” (335 minutes)
Part 2 – +10 The Third Degree (130 minutes)
Part 3 – Death
Time of Death With Sun Resistance Power Level 3:
Complete Resistance. No Death.

Bat Woohoo
Once of the perks of being a Vampire is the ability to use the “Woohoo/Try for Baby as Bats” interaction. This option is available only to Vampires who possess the “Bat Form” power available in the Powers Panel, and have a high enough Romance level.
❗ Babies that are conceived while “Trying for Baby as Bats” will automatically acquire the “Bat Form” power as teens without having to purchase it.
❗ Teen Sims who possess the “Bat Form” power can “Mess Around” as bats as well. This yields a +2 Flirty buff called “Cuddling Chiroptera”
Vampires, or Sims who are in a romantic relationship with a Vampire, have the ability to “Woohoo/Try for Baby in a Coffin”. This interaction can only be initiated by a Vampire.
Forgotten Hollow is the brand new world introduced with The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack. Unlike other worlds, Forgotten Hollow has an extended darkness that begins at 6pm, and this allows Vampires to emerge from their homes earlier in the evening. Forgotten Hollow is one Neighborhood in of itself, with 4 Residential Lots and a empty lot for you to do as you please.
In addition to this world having a dark and foggy atmosphere for Vampire Sims, it is also home to all the new collectibles in the game. Sixam Mosquito Traps, Wolfsbane, Garlic, Plasma Fruit, and Vampire Squid can only be found in this world.
Widowshild Townhome (Residential, 30×20, §17,293) – This simple townhome maximizes space by building up. There is now plenty of room for a garden. Minor repairs needed.
Includes the “Registered Vampire Lair” Lot Trait
Garliclauter Place (Residential, 30×20, §57,393) – This Victorian is in the gothic revival style. Its previous tenants went a bit overboard with the garlic decoration for unknown reasons.
Includes the “Vampire Nexus” Lot Trait
Wolfsbane Manor (Residential, 30×30, §142,984) – This Victorian manor is large enough to really stretch your wings. The upscale decor suits those with a taste for fine design.
Straud Mansion (Residential, 40×30, §201,929) – This mansion has been slowly built up over the town’s history. Plenty of space and spare coffins.
Fledermaus Bend (Empty, 30×30, §2000) – A perfect plot to call your final resting place. Don’t build here if bats give you the creeps. Many make their home in a nearby cave.

Vampires
The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack adds the new “Vampire” life state. Aside from being able to find Vampires throughout the game, and turning into one as your play, players can also use the new “Create-an-Vampire” feature in CAS to make a Vampire family right from the start.
Just like human Sims, Vampires of any age group can be created and customized from head-to-toe. However, because Vampires are a special life state, they do have some additional customization, and boast some unique features like Skin Details, Fangs, Vampire Sockets, and Eye Colors, which are not available to regular Sims.
You can customize a Vampire using any of the Hairstyles, Clothing, and Accessories available within the game, but Vampire Sims also have their very own “Dark Form” option. This allows you to customize the “look” for your Sim when they perform Vampiric actions within the game and change into their “Dark Form”. Creating a Dark Form is optional. If you want both “sides” of your Vampire to look the same, simply use the “Copy Sim to Dark Form” option to carry over their looks to the dark side.
Vampires with “two sides” yield the self-interaction to use the “Dark Form” at any time. Vampires will stay in their Dark Form until commanded to change back.
Becoming a Vampire
Having the powers of a Vampire is intriguing, and there are several ways turn a regular Sim into a Vampire without creating one off the bat in Create a Sim. The following methods are sure fire ways to turn regular Sims into Vampires within the game:
• Using the “Dark Ley Line” Lot Trait – Non-Vampiric Sims who “Try for a Baby” on a Dark Ley Line lot, have a very good chance of giving birth to Vampire offspring. This allows you to add a Vampire Sim to your family tree without having to turn the parents or woohoo with a Vampire. Once a baby ages up to their Teen years, various changes will signify a manifestation of Vampire powers.
• Ask to Turn – Sims can ask a Vampire who is a “Minor” rank Vampire or higher to turn them, so long as they possess the “Vampire Creation” Power. Sims who are successfully bitten and begin the process of turning, will gain the Uncomfortable “Strangely Hungry” moodlet. This moodlet makes it impossible for Sims to eat anything, which eventually causes their “deadly” transformation.
The transformation period can take a few days to complete. Soon to be Vampires can still drink Plasma Packs or eat Plasma Fruit during the transition, although this will make them sick as they are technically still human Sims. Sunlight will not affect them during the transformation period.
❗ Drinking a Vampire cure will not reverse the effects of being turned until they have completely become a Vampire.
❗ For the first 24 hours, new Vampires will have a Tense +1 moodlet to adjust to their new lifestate.
❗ The game considers Sims as Vampires during the transformation, therefore if two human Sims are transforming and try for a baby, the baby will be born a Vampire.
Sims who are turned will inherit most of the Vampiric facial features of their “creator” along with a random “Dark Form” outfit. Sims will continue to have their original appearance under normal circumstances, and can change into their “Vampiric Form” via the “Dark Form” interaction. To change your Sim’s features completely, simply click a mirror and use the “Change Sim” interaction.
• Turn a Sim – If you already have a Vampire in your household that possesses the “Vampire Creation” Power, you can use the “Turn Into Vampire” interaction on a human Sim. This is especially useful if you want to ensure all members of your household are Vampires.
Shortly after a Sim gets bitten by their Master, Vladislaus Straud will contact them, sensing that your Sim is turning into a Vampire. Vlad will continue to text and visit the new Vampire to ensure they get the tutelage they need. He’ll explain Powers and Weaknesses, motives, how to gain experience to level up, and even gift them with the occasional Plasma Pack. During this time your Sim will also gain level 1 of the Vampire Lore Skill.
If you do not want Vlad to take your Sims under his wings, you can tell him to stop contacting your Sim. He is the only tutorial Sim for Vampirism, so if you kill him, delete him, or cure him of Vampirism, he can no longer help your Sim.
Vampire Motives
Vampires have a slightly different set of Needs compared to regular Sims, needing only to maintain Hygiene, Fun, Social, Thirst, and Vampire Energy. The Motive panel is replaced with a new display upon becoming a Vampire or when a Vampire ages up to a Teen.
Vampire Energy
Vampires use Energy to perform powers and protect themselves from the harsh rays of the sun. As they perform Vampiric interactions or try to survive the heat of the sun outdoors, the Vampire Energy bar will continue to drain. Vampire Energy can be recovered by sleeping in a bed or coffin, or they can use the exclusive “Dark Meditation” self-interaction to recharge.
❗ Vampires can also use a Coffin to “Hibernate” until they are forced to awaken.
Vampire Thirst
Thirst is the Vampire equivalent of “Hunger” for Sims. Eating normal food doesn’t fill this need, so instead, the Vampire will need to drink Plasma. Plasma can be obtained from Sims, Plasma Packs, Plasma Fruit, or other Plasma alternatives like Plasma Fruit Salad.
Vampires cannot die from Thirst depletion, but it will make them very uncomfortable, very hungry and they’ll eventually frenzy and drink from the first Sim in sight.
Drinking from Sims
Vampires will enjoy drinking from some Sims more than others. When a Vampire drinks Plasma from a Sim, the target Sim will become hungry, lose energy, and even temporarily pass out. Using the “Drink Plasma” interaction yields three options:
Ask Permission to Drink Plasma – A friendly interaction that increases Thirst and will not result in a relationship decrease.
Compel for Small Drink – Forces the Sim to let the vampire to drink from them for a small amount of Plasma. Will result in a relationship decrease.
Compel for Large Drink – Forces the Sim to let the Vampire drink from them until their Thirst is almost full. The Sim will pass out afterward.
The Sim who satisfies a Vampire’s thirst will receive a cool down period so other Vampires cannot drink from them. Using these interactions in public will also affect bystanders around you, negatively impacting your relationship with them.
❗ Ask Permission to Drink Plasma requires high friendship to work. Sims with high romantic relationships but low friendship will likely be rejected.
❗ Sims who become a meal for Vampires will not and cannot die from the interaction.
If a Vampire has a hard time finding Sims who are willing to give them Plasma, and they possess the “Eternally Welcome” Power, they gain the ability to lock & unlock doors at other Sims’ homes. Vampiric Entrances allows Vampires to enter any homes in the world and feed as they please. They can even allow or deny Vampiric access to everyone, or just them.
Plasma Alternatives
Not all Vampires want to drink Plasma from Sims. In fact, one of the new Aspirations (Good Vampire) revolves around feeling guilty when your Vampire falls off the wagon. Luckily, there are plenty of safe alternatives for Vampires to fill their Thirst need.
Plasma Fruit – For a quick fix, Vampires can drink harvested Plasma Fruit.
Plasma Packs – Plasma Packs can be purchased through the Computer at Vampire Lore Skill Level 3, received in the mail, or crafted from Frogs and Fish at Vampire Lore Skill Level 4.
Plasma Recipes – Plasma Fruit Salad, or any fruit based recipe that uses Plasma Fruit will help quench a Vampire’s thirst.
Irresistible Thirst
The “Irresistible Thirst” moodlet is an Uncomfortable +40 buff that Vampires can’t deny. If they get to this point, a Vampire will autonomously drink from the first human Sim they see, unless there are plasma alternatives laying around.
❗ Vampires who do not possess the “Tamed Thirst” power, will autonomously attack nearby Sims to fulfill their needs.
Playing as a Vampire
Playing as a Vampire is a unique experience compared to other Sims and occults. Vampires do not age past the Young Adult life stage, can be customized with unique powers and weaknesses, and have a variety of social interactions to use on both Sims and Vampires.
Vampires do lack a mirror reflection, but that doesn’t stop them from being able to Practice Speeches, Freshen Up, and use all other normal mirror interactions.
Vampire Ranks
When Vampires use powers, get mentored, study Vampire Lore, or spar with other Vampires, they will automatically gain experience which gradually increases their Vampire Rank. As Vampires increase their rank, they will also receive Power Points that can be used to purchase Powers and Weaknesses.
The ranking system is tracked with the new purple experience bar at the bottom of the Vampire Motives panel. Interactions that yield experience will result in a purple bat icon appearing over the Vampire’s head, and an increase in the rank meter.
There are a total of 5 ranks, along with additional sub-level ranks between, all of which grant Vampire Power Points and unlock new Vampire Powers. Each Vampire starts with 2 Power Points and continues to gain more as they unlock ranks.

Vampire Powers
Every Vampire unlocks perks as they level up in rank. As Vampires level up from Fledgling Vampire to Grand Master, they will unlock various powers and weaknesses. Powers and Weaknesses can be selected by clicking on the Vampire Powers icon.
❗ Once a power is selected it cannot be changed. The only way to reconfigure a Vampire’s powers, is for a Vampire to drink the Draught of Reconfiguration cocktail. This cocktail can be crafted at Vampire Lore Skill Level 14, and will reset all powers and refund the power points.
❗ Some powers offer multiple levels of the same power. Each level costs additional power points and may also unlock stronger powers.

Your Sim will occassionally get really, really sad. (Conflicts with Dampened Emotions Power)

Sunlight and Death
Going out into the sunlight during the day will cause a Vampire’s Energy to deplete quickly, which can be deadly. They gain a +2 Uncomfortable moodlet when they first step into the light, and the longer they are exposed to sunlight, the more dangerous it becomes.
If they don’t get out of the sun, their Energy will completely drain and they will burn to a crisp. Vampires are safe indoors and out of direct sunlight. Coffins, even when outside, protect them from Sun as long as they stay safely closed within them.
❗ Vampires with the Sun Resistance and Greater Sun Resistance Powers will gain increased resistance to the sun.
❗ Vampires with the Perfect Sun Resistance Power will gain complete immunity to the sun.
❗ When consumed by a Vampire, the Sunlight Reversal Cocktail gives the 4-hour “Daywalker’s Delight” moodlet. This moodlet allows Vampires to head outdoors during the day for 4 hours without the fear of burning to death.
❗ Vampires with the Thin Skinned weakness will burn faster in Sunlight.
Vampires who pass away and return as ghosts will retain their Vampiric Powers, but they will also retain their weakness to sunlight as ghosts. Vampire Ghosts are the same as their “mortal” counterparts and should be treated as if they never left.
Garlic is the bane of Vampires. They are the only ones that can see the stench coming from Garlic and find it to be repulsive. Garlic gives them the “Induced Irritation” moodlet which strengthens near Garlic plants, eating food with garlic in it, and anything else garlic.
❗ With Vampire Lore Skill Level 5, your Sim is able to craft Garlic Braids, Garlic Wreaths, and Garlic Garlands by clicking on it in their Inventory.
❗ Garlic braids look great in the kitchen, in the den, in the hallways, above your Sims bed–fill your house full of garlic and Vampires won’t snack on your Sims, but it still doesn’t stop them from using their powers.
It can take up to 12 hours to get rid of the moodlet depending on how much and how long they’ve been around the offensive foodstuff. When the moodlet reaches its third level, Vampires cannot drink Plasma from Sims or turn them into Vampires, but they can drink Plasma Packs and Plasma Fruit to keep their thirst in control.
The Vampire Cure
There is only one way to cure a Vampire, and that is with the Ultimate Vampire Cure Cocktail. Vampires can voluntarily drink the cocktail to cure their vampirism, or it can be deliberately thrown onto a Vampire to take away their powers.
❗ The Ultimate Vampire Cure Cocktail can only be crafted by Sims with a Level 15 Vampire Lore Skill, and requires 10 each of the following: Wolfsbane, Garlic, and Plasma Fruit.
Human Sims who have the Vampire Cure cocktail in their inventory and have a less than satisfactory relationship with a Vampire, will eventually see the an option (Mean Social) to “Throw Vampire Cure” at a Vampire. This results in a Vampire losing their powers and turning into a regular Sim.
Human Sims who have the Vampire Cure cocktail in their inventory and have a less than satisfactory relationship with a Vampire, will eventually see the an option (Mean Social) to “Slay Vampire”. If the Human Sim is successful at Slaying the Vampire, it results in a Vampire losing their powers and turning into a regular Sim. If the Human Sim fails to slay the vampire, it becomes nothing more than a wasted drink. Success depends on the Vampire Rank.
❗ Vampires who avoid being slayed receive the “Defeated a Hunter” Moodlet
Vampires who have the Vampire Cure cocktail in their inventory and have a less than satisfactory relationship with another Vampire, will eventually see the an option (Mean Social) to “Slay Vampire”. If the initiating Vampire is successful at Slaying the target Vampire, it results in a Vampire losing their powers and turning into a regular Sim. If the slaying fails, it becomes nothing more than a wasted drink. Success depends on the Vampire Rank.
Uninvited Guests
If your Sim is living in Forgotten Hollow, you might find Vladislaus Straud, and other NPC Sims, sneaking into a Sim’s home for a bite to drink. Between 12 to 1 am, Vampires will enter homes regardless of door locks, and find a Sim eligible (a regular, run of the mill Teen to Elder) to mesmerize and drain. If there are no available Sims to drink from, they will leave without disturbing anyone. If he takes a particular liking to a Sim’s plasma, they may even visit again. Hang a few garlic braids around…
