Don't the vampire sims get fatigued moodlet after long work outs?

@Peral - That's Sims 4; this is Sims 3.

@Jeansoo - Vampire Sims tend to fatigue a lot slower than other sims. I don't play vampires, but I've read somewhere that vampire sims are pretty much impervious to a lot of things except sunlight. Leave them in the sun too long and they'll become a pile of ashes.

Had one of my vampire sims get turned into a carbonized heap of ashes after staying out in the sun

Vampires can only go out in the sunlight for a short amount of time before getting the "Heating Up" moodlet,

If you leave them out in the sun too long, your vampire sim will start to smoke and then burst into flames. If you don’t put him out, you’ll end up with a fire-death.

Me being a sadistic SOB Watcher didn’t like vampire sims so I just watched him burn. ?

Young Children and teen vampires are not affected by the sunlight, because their vulnerabilities haven’t kicked in yet (they’re programmed that way in coding. Probably too traumatizing to the kiddies to see a youngster vampire turned into charcoal).

But yes, Sims 3 vampires (young adults/adults/elders) are vulnerable to the sun (die fire deaths) and unless you have vampiric sunscreen (which you make at the elixir table) your sim can die from being out in the sun too long.

@Karritz - For such long-lived "vampires" Sims 3 ones seem to be pretty...uh...short-sighted...in their attempts at self-welfare (a kindly way of saying they're as dumb as a bag of hammers). :mrgreen: My vampires tended to combust at the most inopportune moments. Which is one of the multitude of reasons why I prefer playing werewolves and witches (I have yet to make a witch sim, but it's on my bucket list) Sims 3 vampires unless you watch over them with a timer set to the minimum time it takes to combust are like ambulatory kindling.

@Mantlejackal thanks for the info. I do have the occasional vampire in rare households but I mostly choose to ignore them. I don't like to let them hunt. I am much more attached to all of my other sims. If one of my regular sims gets turned into a vampire I will cure them. Even if the vampire look is interesting. I do have all of the expansions and stuff packs installed so have access to it all.

I believe they are only affected by the lack of blood. I had a gamer vampire a few years back who could stream all night long with out get tired.

Thanks but I heard there’s no vampire death by the sunlight in the sims 3. There’s a death by the low thirst needs from young adult. The children and teen vampires don’t affect by the sunlight and thirst needs even though they enjoy having plasma juice. ? Thanks. Yesterday, my teens reached up to level 9 in Athletic skill and level 8 inn martial arts skill. I’ve seen only their dad completed within an hour to complete each skills in his teen life. So I didn’t know this.

@MantleJackal
Thanks. I was surprised that they never got fatigued while staying in China for whole 6 days. I can have them drink the potent invigorating elixir, then make them workout at gym all throuth the night. ?? It was weird that the child and teen sims don’t get affected by thirst and sunlight, but for some reason, they got slowed down from low energy needs. ? So if the energy is low, they never run. Even the child vampire walked home all the way through the narrow path.

@jeansoo @Nikkei_Simmer The first time I played a vampire I had him running around collecting things all day and he suddenly stopped and turned into a pile of ashes.

I went off playing vampires after that.

The other thing that put me off vampires was the fact that the next time I played a vampire he died suddenly of starvation - so I put a fridge containing plasma juice next to his bed so he got up and walked to the sink to cook something and died on the way, so I put the plasma juice in his inventory and he drank it and lived long enough to go to the fireplace and catch on fire and burn to death. I shut down without saving and reloaded several times in an effort to keep him alive due to him having a wife and children. The wife died too - of starvation after taking part in an eating contest (that bug has now been fixed) and the children were taken away due to there being no older sims in the household. That game was a bad, but interesting, memory. I tend to avoid playing vampires.

@MantleJackal
I agree with your all explanation. I didn’t know the thirst needs is protected by sanguine snack moodlet for entire 8 hrs. Of course, thise 2 teen vamps’ dad is immortal ann also have hardly hungry reward. So I thought it’s from the hardly hungry reward that his thirst bar decays very slow. He enjoys hunting as well. His 2 teen vamps put up the wish ‘hunt’, ‘read mind’… for some reason as their vampiric ability is not activated yet. ? I will try ti remove hardly hungry and see how the sanguine snack would affect him. Does perfect plasma fruit also protect the thirst bar as well? He has about 9 plasma fruit. I’m using them only for emergency.

@MantleJackal Thank you so much for the tip. The fruit was perfect quality, but I didn't know even outstanding gives the sanguine snack moodlet. :D I tried today and his thirst bar was completely full for 8hrs after taking perfect plasma fruit. I removed hardly hungry LTR just before having the fruit. xD

I like how this thread turned into a vampire tips and tricks from the original question. :tongue:
I never got a perfect plasma perfect so that was informative for me, too.

It’s good to share good tips any time. ?
