Can Vampires Be Poisoned?

One thing that only just occurred to me... There are so many kinds of food-related poisons in the game (toxic plants, pufferfish, etc.) I know they can be fatal to regular Sims, but can Vampires die from them too, or are they immune?
  • They can be poisoned Selvadorada, but according to the Wiki, they are immune to Pufferfish death a long with various other deaths, but I've yet to test if this is true.

    Vampires are immune to death by Old Age and Death by Drowning by default, as Vampires do not have a human energy need and never experience fatigue.

    Through various powers they can also become immune to the Sunlight Death and all Emotional deaths.

    Apparently they are immune to Pufferfish death and Overheating in the Sauna as well, again haven't tested it.

  • Thanks. Good tip. Just to add to that for others who look, the Reward Trait "Naturalist" from the Freelance Botanist Aspiration can also make them (or any Sim) immune to Death by fire.
  • They also can't die from hot and cold. But once I was having my vampire sim swimming under the sun and her energy bar was decreasing due to sunlight and when it hit 0 she drowned.

    I don't know if it's been fixed but when I first got get together with the restaurants my vampire got food poisoning. I don't know it was a bug or if it's a random thing that can affect vampires. Also, there is a mod for Poisoned and deadly plasma.

  • Yeah... I'm personally not looking to raise the risk factors. I had my vampire eating Pufferfish Nigiri from a festival stall to learn the recipe and I realized I wasn't really sure how safe that actually was.

    Pufferfish Nigiri (as well as any other food) bought from festival stalls are always at Excellent quality compared to restaurant meals that almost never seem to be at Excellent quality, if rarely. You are not guaranteed to die from eating at a stall, regardless of the sim's current emotional state.
  • I figure the stalls are likely safe to eat pufferfish from since the purpose of them is to learn the city recipes, but as a precaution, I still save my game before anyone eats it.
