Do You Even Occult Bro? (Discussion)
So! With the addition of a new occult Sim, I find myself sitting there staring at CAS not wanting to be ANY of the occult options. I have my gripes about all of them honestly but here's the thing, I a...

Most of the sims in my legacy save have been vampires. I also like playing normal sims but I find vampires so much easier to take care of (and sometimes they can be more fun to play). With the right combination of vampire perks, you can have a sim who:
- Doesn’t need to sleep (dark meditation all the way!)
- No bladder need
- No hygiene need
- No social need
- No fun need
So the only need you’re left with is thirst and they won’t even die of that. My vamps usually live next to a fishing spot so that they can fish without leaving the lot. That means they have an ample supply of fish for lots of free plasma packs. I also get them an orchard of plasma fruit trees and they complete the food vampire aspiration so that others usually don’t deny their requests to drink. Honestly I don’t find the third need challenging to keep up with.
The fact that they have so few needs leaves them with lots of time to make a fortune by painting and they can complete lots of aspirations to earn themselves a money tree for more $$$
The vampiric speed and teleportation powers are so useful. I hate how slowly normal sims walk sometimes!
And there’s a power to speed up skill gain by a lot at night. That’s very helpful. Stacked with reward traits which also speed up skill gain (such as top notch toddler, the childhood aspiration traits, the scouting aptitude trait)m you can max out skills very quickly.
The burning in the sun thing is annoying but I always get my vamps level 3 sun resistance which gets rid of that issue.
The ‘eternally welcome’ reward trait which enables a vampire to enter any house uninvited is a lot of fun. I’ve had more than one kleptomaniac vampire burglar.
And obviously they are immortal. I like that. It means I can keep many generations of the family around.
I have played with spellcasters enough yet to form a comprehensive opinion on them, but they also seem fun! I don’t know whether they will replace my beloved vampires yet but we shall see.
Im glad someone loves Vampires. Maybe I will work on trying to enjoy them more but for now, they remain the bane of every game for me.
Teleportation power is fun with a spellcaster sim, makes walking obsolete so I can see how that is an awesome perk.
With perk's though you can get the never hungry, tired, ect as well as being a normal sim they just are a little more costly but I understand how they are useful for a vampire. I just hate the sun and thirst aspect I suppose.
