Guess carl got an early copy, take a look here:

Specifically, this snippet:

Influence Emotion (3 Ranks)
Grand Master

Allows your Sim to give an emotion to nearby Sims. Affects a large area around the Sim, causing a +2 Moodlet at rank 1 of any emotion you choose. At rank 3, it gives +8 versions of those Moodlets. It can therefore be used to kill Sims, as a couple of jokes or a slap to the face will put Sims over the line for enragement or hysteria.

Dunno about the rest of you but this makes me happy. Always wanted a practical method of murder for storytelling.

OMG!!! Well Grand Master vampires seem to be really cruel :D At least when you give them that power! Oh my goodness, this will be fun *cough*

Another snippet that's of interest:

Vampire Hunters

Vampire hunters are in the game code, though I haven't yet encountered one. Their purpose is to attempt to cure vampirism, so they may take powers away. This could be good reason to take the Vampiric Strength buff, as you might not want to lose a fight to someone who wants to take your immortality (but not your life). It is likely a bigger issue as your Vampire grows in power and my own experience with the game is a very limited sample size. It is worth noting that this is programmed into the game, I'll write more on it when I learn more!

No clue if it's a thing or not, but guess we'll see. That would be interesting too.

I'm wondering if that won't be a new career option for us.

Yeah, I spoiled myself and looked through all the powers and weaknesses and they are actually pretty neat. I do wish there were more weaknesses to choose from with more staggering gameplay affects, but I'm not unhappy with the selection we have. What I do wish is that vampire hunters could actually kill vampires. I get why they didn't add it (I guess, anyway. Plenty of games have killing and don't need an M rating), but man it would be cool. Maybe even autonomously! You'd have to be rather sneaky.

I wonder if sims who have the ability to will autonomously drink the beverage or whatever that prevents a vampire from drinking from them. That would be interesting, but I doubt it exists. Though, the modding community usually picks up this kind of slack lol.

YAAASSS.

Me right now too lol

And what about a normal sim... will they be able to kill the vampires?

Nice! :smiley:

This is cool for an option if one wants to go the more lethal vampire gameplay route.

i see this as bad news since none of the vampires i will create will be killing sims only changing them to vampires

Why is it bad news? It's optional, and it's good news for other simmer who would like an option to make deadly vamps.

Options are important for this kind of game. Not everyone will share your exact playstyle. The sims series should be about catering to multiple playstyles.

It's a good thing that Sims4 is not online then as I could see mass killings going on there with blackmail as well! Do this or I kill your Sim. >:)

This is pretty interesting. I was beginning to think I was one of the last deviant Sim players left. Good to know there are many. :D I'm not alone, I'm not alone. :D
