Bare Your Fangs! Vampire Pictures, Stories and Gameplay Advice Please
Hi all, I am working on a storyline in my game that will ultimately involve a neighborhood based on rival covens of vampires, so I was wondering if anyone out there, has pictures of your vamps, stories about vampire stuff or advice or ideas on vampire play in general. I'd love to hear and see what you've got. Thanks!
To start here are some pictures from my first coven: This is my Circle of Love Coven as a Group https://i.imgur.com/Fu3smS9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ueLBgKr.jpg
And the members are: Don Lothario (Not a vampire, but an integral part of the group) https://i.imgur.com/3OlTwP7.jpg Jaiden Lansing (Head vampire in the coven) https://i.imgur.com/7fFiVQv.jpg Caleb Vatore (vampire) https://i.imgur.com/gFGHVFQ.jpg Silas Vaughn (vampire) https://i.imgur.com/GgkNyow.jpg And Christian Webber (newest member and vampire) https://i.imgur.com/9hfPBNI.jpg
From time to time I'll update with new Covens or new members who may join the covens. Please feel welcome to show us your vampires and tell us all about them too!
Kirivian, great looking vamps, but your lead one is wearing earrings that are lethal to vampires, at least in standard European tradition. Isn't 'coven' a term reserved for a group of witches?
@CK213 Oh Wow! Thanks so much for sharing this. The shots of your cat girl are flat out amazing! That elusive new vampire looks interesting, I'd love to hear more about him, if there is anything more to tell, and if he does turn Cassandra and become her master, that may be a nice base for a new coven in your neighborhood - maybe one that isn't afraid of Bella?
@citysimmer the story of Joaquin and Sergio is really interesting, I love that it ties some pre-mades that I think a lot of simmers may not think of when they think vampires into the vampire world. Also the fact that Joaquin, in your story is a vampire before he meets and becomes roommates with Sergio is pretty cool. Does he eventually turn Sergio? Siobhan? Or do Siobhan's suspicions about Joaquin turn her against him when she learns the truth and turn her into a slayer of some sort. You got my imagination going with this one! TY.
And I, like you, am curious to know what gives Bella Goth such influence over @CK213 s Vamps.
@xxnearlyperfectx Thanks for joining the discussion. If you ever get that neighborhood together, please do share. I am not familiar with the books you are referring to (shoot me guys! I'll try to do some research later this week.), but the concept sound interesting. Also maybe some of the ideas and stories offered here can help you in tackling that project. They are certainly helping me with a lot of ideas for my story.
@Shinzen Ahhh! Immortal love. (be warned I am a hopeless romantic - your vamps spin my wheels). It is lonely at the top (of the food chain :D ), but I like the idea of them having a network to socialize with, maybe it will pull Ezra back just a smidge (not too much, dark is cool) from the darkness. I'm throwing the links in spoilers - 'cause they are picture intensive. Don, Caleb and Jaiden
I love Don and Caleb as a couple and they are also part of my core or "heart" of my Chatswin save. Don and Caleb are a tight, long-time couple in my Chatswin (tertiary) save. I have cc'd them to the nines but here they are. https://i.imgur.com/cQujuuL.jpg Don is actually polyamorous in this neighborhood and although he remains human, his four lovers (including Caleb pictured with him above) are all vampires.

This is Jaiden (who is actually the leader of this coven) with Caleb, on vacation in Selvadorado. https://i.imgur.com/26DOzam.jpg Deep in the Temple https://i.imgur.com/2lwsVs7.jpg A Little Alone Time at the Rental House https://i.imgur.com/1ouCiNu.jpg Playing Around at the Baths
Christian (these include shots of Caleb from a different neighborhood - so slightly different look here)
"kirivian;c-16486385" wrote: Day 10: Hopeless Romantic - Christian Webber Would you die for love? So often in his short life Christian really thought he might. Each time he met someone new, he felt that lump in his throat, butterflies in his stomach, the catching of his breath and that dizziness that almost made him swoon. So many times, he gambled at love and lost, putting more into his relationships than he ever got out of them. And then he met Caleb.
Caleb was everything he ever dreamed of in a lover. He was old-fashioned (antediluvian even), chivalrous, witty and romantic. From the day they met, they spent their time lost in poetry, flowers, chocolates and the sweet whispers shared only by sims who are truly in love. And then it was over. As quickly as Caleb had come into his life, he was gone. He’d left no way to find him, only a short letter saying that he loved Christian too much to ask him to leave behind everything else he held dear for the sake of their love.
At first, Christian did not understand. He was heartbroken and for the first time in his life, he thought that perhaps love was not a good thing at all. But Christian was not about to give up on love, not this time. He spent months ghosting Caleb’s favorite haunts, his old house and even tracked down his sister, and tried to talk to her. It took almost a year for him to find Caleb and when he finally did, everything started to fall into place for he discovered that Caleb was no longer truly alive. In his fantasies, Christian had wondered what it would be like to have a powerful, immortal lover, but when those fantasies manifested themselves in his actual world he failed to recognize them. For Caleb was in fact a vampire.
He went to Caleb and professed his love, praying all the while that everything they had shared had not been a fleeting dream, and for once his prayers were answered and he and Caleb were re-united. Would you die for love? Perhaps the question is best left to the true romantics of the world, but Christian felt no hesitation, and he and Caleb are finally eternally united in death. https://i.imgur.com/ralQQbr.jpg
The Royals(this is an upcoming coven that I am currently developing for this story - they are rivals of the bikers (whose coven I haven't really named yet)

I hope you like them too. This is a candid I shot last night of Lilith and Sylvie https://i.imgur.com/REJLziv.jpg If you do like them here are a few more shots from a shoot I did with them a few weeks back
@Oldeseadogge Thanks, as @Shinzen says, it is nice to receive compliments about your sims. You are right, if I were going by traditional vampire lore, Jaiden couldn't wear a cross, but I am fashioning these vamps more after the Anne Rice world with heavy influence from a roleplaying game that I play with RL friends, and in my story's lore, he's fine with the cross (it's not real silver). :wink:
@simgirl1010 Thanks for joining the discussion and for your definition. That is certainly the context in which I am using the term Coven here, but If any of y'all have strong objections to the term, let me hear your thoughts on alternative terms.
Everyone's vampires here are beautiful, oh my gosh????
I have a group of vampires living together too, although there's not much of an actual story going on, besides their backstories, as I really play it out more like.. a sitcom?? A vampire sitcom. Yeah. I just kinda do whatever. They're like, my weird immortal kids. I might draw them a lot.
https://i.imgur.com/62AwUyL.png
I'm just gonna go ahead and put the rest of the info underneath a spoiler!
https://i.imgur.com/WmF31rc.png Morten, and Bat. Mort was just a very naive kid who thought their talking bat was nothing more than just that, and then it bit them. And then they turned undead. Whoops. They're also by far the youngest one of the bunch; only 19 years old. Really likes hats and florals, hates the idea of drinking blood from innocent people. They're usually my icon on this forum.
Bat was that talking bat. It turns out he was a vampire all along; one whose feeding methods usually consisted of flying into random houses, hiding there as a bat during daytime, and preying upon the inhabitants at night. It worked pretty well until Morten found out he could talk. So he accidentally made a friend and it all went downhill from there.
https://i.imgur.com/UpIrGS4.png Then there's Einarr, ancient thousand year old viking who turned Bat like two hundred years ago. Though he may look terrifying at times, he's actually really nice and fatherly... at least to his fellow vampires. I found no decent viking CC for him.
The other guy is Rune, who was born this way due to a curse, and grew up in a (mostly) human family. He's also not very old; born in the 70s, so really, he's just approaching fifty. He also accidentally slept for twenty of those years. It's very unfortunate.
@kirivian - Aaah, yes, I'm a sucker for romance, too! Honestly I had this idea that maybe Dakota wanted to turn Ezra not out of evil but because he fell in love and couldn't imagine Ezra outaging him and passing away; maybe it happened to him before and it broke his heart? So many plot possibilities!
And oh. My. GOODNESS your vamps look so stunning, holy cow!! Lilith (the one with the black hair and fangs, maybe she's Sylvie?) has such a gorgeous design, and it looks like she and her gf are super happy and sweet together and that makes me happy! <3 And the Royal's designs are outfit styles are so on-point, I love it!
But my absolute favourite is the story with Caleb and Christian. The story is so heartwrenching yet beautiful and I can honestly feel the love and connection between the two. You're also an incredible writer, as well! :'(
@Magdaleena aaaaaah holy heck I've said this before but I just wanna say it again abt how much I love your sims! Mort seems like such a sweet soul! AND OH MY GOODNESS bat is so adorable with his ears! But also sneaky, it seems, hehe
I checked out your dA and gave you a watch (I'm Rilvin!) You've honestly inspired me to actually do stuff with my own account and draw some Sims so I'll try and do that whenever I have free time <3 thanks for inspiring me! c:
@Magdaleena These vampires are incredibly adorable just to see in the pictures, but I found myself really laughing at the story of Morten and Bat, they all sound like such fun to play. Please keep us updated or at least keep updating pics if you don't mind. I'm loving these little suckers. :wink:
@Shinzen thanks, I have to believe he couldn't let that beauty fade and die. If I were a vamp, I wouldn't. Makes me wonder who turned Dakota and why?
I don't know if you follow any simLit but there are a couple of writers over in that arena who have inspired me to start writing the Royal's story. I have about four pages of text done, but I haven't committed to any support shots yet, plus I can be pretty shy so it may never happen. If I do post a simlit about any of these covens, I will link it here somewhere (maybe a banner or something). Lilith is the dark haired vampire (Lilith Vatore). Quick piece of trivia here, Sylvie her gf, is Silas' mother.
@kirivian Mmm, I actually haven't thought of how Dakota got turned! I guess that's something I gotta be creative with, hehe. And ah, goodness, I wouldn't want it to fade away either! Part of me thinks that if they're in love, Ezra would want to be immortal to stay with him; I think any human would, in the name of love. Oh, and speaking of Ezra, I changed up his hair a bit:
dunno if I like it, though I've always been fond of male sims with longer hair so i think it makes him look nice! I still want him to look kinda human so instead of adding too many vampire cracks/wrinkles I decided to have him grow out his hair but I still gotta find a style I like LOL
But ah, if you ever do decide to publish your story, just know you'll have me as a supporter, so you won't be completely alone! Plus, you're an amazing writer, so I'm sure you'd get noticed. The first step is the scariest, to put yourself out there, and I understand being shy.
And OOH, yes, Silas and her do look similar! I can see the relation!

I must admit, they're so gosh darn ADORABLE. Can't resist a good vamp boi! ;)
So my vampire story isn't as fleshed out as some of the stories on here but just something I implemented into my everyday gameplay :D
Here is my highest ranked vampire, none other than Morgan Fyres. https://i.imgur.com/apalj5i.png
This is the vampire who turned her, Nicholas Grey, seen here sparring with his brother Thomas. https://i.imgur.com/k5xVqBD.png https://i.imgur.com/dq3gywP.png
Thomas is Morgan's best friend. https://i.imgur.com/T3stkIF.png
I have two vampires in my library who I hope to add to the save soon:
@Shinzen I love Ezra's new hairstyle, it's very attractive. I like long hair for men too, in general - I do make exceptions for exceptional vamps (like.. no names ). I would really love to hear it if you ever did come up with a backstory for Dakota, and in my imagination, without knowing Ezra very well. I know he'd want to be immortal to spend forever with his love.
