Later that day - just two neighors hanging out at the snack vendor. One of them slurping a plasma pack was a rare, but not an outrageous sight. After all, in 2050 every city the size of Detroit was housing a significant number of occults. Running into one was about as likely as running into a celebrity in New York or Los Angeles, and the occults inspired similar feelings in people.
As a vampire in the modern world Gavin didn’t receive threats of holy water and stakes, but therapy to help him control the bloodthirst and plasma packs on prescription (Meaning the household has the Registered Vampire Hideout trait.).

Mischief Day was the one day where tossing vampire powers around wasn’t seen as rude or show-offy, but as funny, and Gavin made ample use of that opportunity. As a result he finally pushed through, maxed out his vampire rank and was able to learn Tamed Thirst. He is no longer at risk of autonomously biting sims when his vampire thirst is low.

I found it fitting that this milestone coincided with Mischief Day. Gavin was a Goofball long before he became a vampire, it is his true nature, the vampirism being just a mix of useful skills to help with his job and chronic disease. But there were also vampires in the world who put their occult state first, thinking of it as the cornerstone of their identity…

Is it still prank day or is this real? Unrelated to the challenge, but here we have Gavin’s other neighbor, the head of the Department for Paranormal Investigations, playing with Ricky's lego set. While wearing his full ghost hunting gear.

I picture this sim as loving to do things with his own hands, but was thinking of woodworking, not toys. Well, looks like an oversight and the Reeds now know what to give him for Christmas this year!
