Best weaknessees?

So far, if I wanna have a vampire who's super powerful and whose weaknesses barely are, I go 1 point into the coffin-only, 1 point into fitful sleep, and three points into day phobia. I'm not playing one right now so I can't look up the exact names of the traits.
Day phobia will sound bad, but the only major drawback I experience is the weakened power during the day (thus difficult to compel for drinking, namely), and while the tense moodlet may seem overbearing, take 'carefree' from the aspiration reward store(costs 2k) and bam no tense moodlet anymore. I like coffins anyway and the fitful sleep I've barely noticed.

Meanwhile, something I thought would be fine that ended up driving me bonkers was the stomach/can't eat regular food one. All those invitations to dinner, all those glasses of water! It will be fun for some vampires but the ones I've been playing like to keep up appearances!

So far, I gave two evil vampires the thirsty drinker(?) one. They just need to drink more plasma since it takes more time for their thirst motive to fill but that doesn't really bother me since there is plenty of plasma around and "deep drink" is a thing

Definitely Withered Stomach because we don't even need to eat human food.
Second would be Fitful Sleep. With Dark Meditation we don't need sleep either.

They're the safest ones, but they bring no challenge and no additional game play.

Actually you do need to sleep. There seems to be a hidden sleep need independent of the power bar.

So far my vampire hasn't needed any sleep, his energy is only expended if I make him do things using his powers. Note: I have him hibernate..which takes care of the story in my head..daytime/equals coffin. But I would guess he never has to go to his bed/coffin if I didn't want that. The are great powers and weaknesses. Especially, if you up the level on allergy to sun..because some Sims step out or on the patio autonomously so raising that weaknesses is at your own risk.

My vamp has the withered stomach, sleep of the undead (she can only sleep in coffins), and insatiable thirst. So far the most annoying one in insatiable thrist -- the thirst need bar is constantly plummeting and it's a bit obnoxious. Luckily she has zero guilt about feeding on sims. Also it's given me a good excuse to build a basement prison.... :D

I'm trying to go realistic with my Vampire. No human food, no sunlight, and only coffins to sleep in-lol. I think I'll do a second one as a guilty vampire. The withered stomach one is problematic as my sim keeps insisting on trying to eat and then proceeding to vomit but I think I'll leave it alone for now.

I really like we can set some of these to be more harmful or more annoying. I hope they don't tone any of this down for those who really don't want vampires but then might create one, and then complain how horrible the weaknesses are....you know. I like your idea..so far normal thirst has been pretty easy to fill and keep full (they won't die anyway) and lots of food in FH. >:)

I'm avoiding "guilty drinker" as since when did Dracula ever feel embarrassed from neck-biting?

Right! And I gave him an extra reward trait. He would never be embarrassed.

Toothy has Withered Stomach, Can only Sleep in Coffins, Uncontrollable Hissing, that one where he is hated right at the start (the one at top right of panel) and 1x thin skinned :3 He's a very evil vampire and I want him to be hated by every mortal.
