So I never really planned to buy Vampires, partly because my main save doesn't contain any supernatural anyway so I never really felt the need to have them and partly because I often read that vampires keep spawning in your game like almost every night, and I don't want my main save to be corrupted by vampires. :# But then I read some threads about Caleb Vatore and looked at some teasers out of curiosity, and now I inadvertently find myself wanting them after all. :lol: Thing is, like I said, my main save doesn't contain supernatural nor do I want it to, and if vampires kept spawning in my game every night and being obnoxious little suckers it would kind of ruin immersion for me. So, are vampires really that bad? Or, to phrase it differently, are they (still) definitely worth it?

I don't have vamps but what I gather is that it's GREAT if you're into supernaturals but if you want to play as normal sims it could get a bit boring especially since there is nothing for them to do...But then again I don't have vampires so don't take my word for fact :D

They are everywhere, when you click on a sim there's 3 options related to vampires, I know people praise them a lot in here because of the powers and weakness system, it's great but the actual powers don't add anything interesting really. If you're not a fan of supernatural... things It's not worth it IMO.

I don't have very many problems with it. I do get the occasional Vlad breaking into my sims home and drinking from one of them, but that's quite rare. Although, if he does it once, he comes back quite often.I'm pretty sure that if you have MCCC you can turn that off. Apart from that, they don't really bother my sims :)

They specialise in home invasions in my game, arriving in the middle of the night to suck the life force of the sims of my active household. So a lot more in your face than previous versions of the sims.

So a lot more in your face than previous versions of the sims.Do you have a mod installed that makes these sort of drama events happen more? Vlad has never one time returned to suck the life force from my Sim more than once. It just doesn't happen. If you put up some garlic and maybe get high skills in vampire lore, you can fight one and they don't return. I just don't get where people say they come back every night, it just doesn't happen that way in my game. First family, first time, yes, if I open the door to let him in but never if I don't. And he never comes back a second time. Caleb and his sister aren't blood drinkers from humans, so I just don't get it.ETA: OP, I will say it again as I am a big fan of vampires in the games, I turned two Sims in my game and honestly I hardly ever see them anymore, at first I saw them turn while they were walking down the street about three days later, but since then and all the patches I'm hard pressed to find them anywhere at any community lot. The game may generate one or two more for jobs but they are also the first to get culled when the game culls townies every Sunday.ETA: Anyone knocking at your Sims door after dark is a vampire, just don't open the door, you will never be bothered.Note, my Sims don't live in FH, maybe that makes a difference, I don't know.

Are vampires really as obnoxious as people say?

Vampires is worth the buy just for Caleb alone let’s be real b

Here I am trying to figure out how to get vamps to do anything at all in my game. No one ever gets fed on at night while sleeping, and neither Vlad nor the Vatores ever approach anyone. It's like they are shy or have decided to sit out eternity on plasma packs and chess, by themselves at home.
Caleb is nice, but looks like a cutesy 90s emo boi more than a man, and so far, his woohoo has been okay, but never more than that. Maybe I haven't tried him with the right Sim yet?

If your gameplay with him is different, or if vamps actually do anything to other Sims on their own ever, what secret am I missing?

Hmm...

Here is what I try to do in order to get som vampire-action:
- Get your sims into bed before 11, if your sims is not in bed then the vampire will only stand outside the front door and wait.
- Try to read up on vampire-lore and see if that helps.

If anyone knows anything else that works let me know, I would like to see my vampires stalking and biting more often.

Thanks for the bit about bed by 11, never tried that. Lore, yes, but not bed by a certain hour.

I find the autonomy mods and Vampire Death and More Mod have made the best difference in my game so far, and rescued Vamps from being hand puppets only.

Vamps are fun & their even better with the spellcaster trait.
