Bare Your Fangs! Vampire Pictures, Stories and Gameplay Advice Please

@paradiseplanet Will do. I am still hoping to hear about the Frost side so as soon as I figure out how to top my last beg - it'll be business as usual. ;) and if you want me to do anything … with your boi Marco (or any of the others)... let me know. you know I love a makeover.

@paradiseplanet mind if I ask who did the pose?

First time setting up large group poses in-game, took this one at least an hour.

@paradiseplanet I feel you on that. I have like 40,000 screenshots and most of them are re-posing and re-posing. The first group shots of Circle of Love on this thread are actually made up of three different group poses from two different packs. It can be time consuming but it's cool when it works out.

*edit Thanks for the link BTW. got it.

Whatever happened to begging to know the rest of the Council? I only have 2(?)* more left to go!

But if you insist...Frosts it is then. I'll spoiler it though for those who don't want to read about non-vamps.

*the number of councilors is subject to change but I feel a total of 5 councilors to start will do.

@paradiseplanet :/ Masterful! My beg is a student to your tease.
Council first! :)
Then the Frost Clan! :smiley:
And you may be schooling me.. but I'm an attentive pupil and … I am determined to be teacher's pet. o:)

I just realized I need to squeeze in a yoga studio.
Off to the drawing board!!

Long Post Guys! Good Morning! :)

So I am organizing a post to properly introduce my political structure for Chatswin and background story for Circle of Love, who I know I posted pictures of and talked about along the way, but never really gave the back story about. While I was getting ready to do that I came across a few older shots of some of my vamps that I thought y'all might like. So this is just kind of a smattering of vamps from my main games.

Jaiden Lansing of Chatswin's Circle of Love rarely goes dark, but here is. After reading some ideas here on the thread, I am in the process of redesigning the dark forms of my vamps moving forward, but at the time I took these shots - this was his dark form.

Silas Vaughn of Circle of Love spent his last nights as both a human and a teen at Wolfsbane Manor with Circle of Love. This shot was taken only a few sim hours before he became a young adult and a vampire.

Silas with Don - after Silas had aged to young adulthood and was bitten by Jaiden but before he turned fully into a vampire.

Jaiden Lansing and Caleb Vatore of Circle of Love spent a long weekend at Selvadorada not too long back. I've posted a few shots from their trip elsewhere, but here are a couple more.

Avery Fairbanks of Frostridge. Only recently turned - he got an updated look when he became a vampire.

Avery in Dark Form - like I said this dark form will be getting an update soon based on feedback and ideas from this thread - thanks all for the inspiration!.

Amriel Croft of Frostridge is a teen in this picture. According to his backstory he was born a vampire and although he learned how to survive, as a child and for a while as a teen, he had a hard time retaining his regular form and was most often in his dark form (pictured here). He and his human brother were both orphaned as teens, and both were taken in as teens and raised by the Vatore's (who trained Amriel to hide his dark form and control his "vampiric urges" as well as teaching him his other vampiric skills).

Caleb Vatore as He Appears in Frostridge and Chatswin

Spoiler

(creator note: The most commonly asked question I get about sims I make over is how much do I change them? These pictures help demonstrate my answer which is - as little as possible. All of my saves are in separate folders - not just separate saves - and there are differences in the mods folders in terms of what cc is available for each of the three folders. So Caleb here was made-over completely separately from Caleb in either Chatswin or Star-Crossed (I did not make him over in one then import him to the others), but I find the differences between the three to be relatively subtle and that is because I try to not change any features and to do as little push/pull as possible - this is an instance where you can see that at work).

This picture is of Caleb from Frostridge taken before Chatswin was even created and most notably features a different hair style among some more subtle feature variants like the cleft chin which you can see here, but not in the Chatswin version, different cc eyebrows and a less square jaw line.

Here is the Frostridge version of Caleb after I changed his hair to the hair I use in Chatswin. He still retains the chin, eyebrows and jaw line of the Frostridge version.

Caleb in Chatswin including his most recent CAS shot - no cleft in the chin, less feathery eyebrows and a slightly stronger jawline.

@kirivian They look great! :smiley: You have a real talent for CAS.
