I like playing Vampires, very versatile playstyle. With that said, I have this one vampire who I've played near exclusively for the last 4 years or so who I absolutely love, mostly due to how her design turned out and how much time I've played her.
Before they weirded out the mist teleport option several years ago, I loved the mist teleport feature. By weirded out, I mean they somehow caused this bug where if sim was holding something , they would do the "no path exists" animation and drop what was held. In my own experiments, this seems to be with the newer trashbins starting from City life onward, but noticed it in the eco pack. Trashbins like the initial "make trash disappear" bin seem fine.
Anyway, I would use cheats to effectively not worry about ever having to bother with sim needs, but keep in mind that this one vampire started on being a master vampire when she was in her teens. What I can recall is that she started out either confident/hotheaded or self assured/mean initially and was a terror on the rest of her family...
But I digress, I tend to play vampires as near 24/7 skilling sims... On my oldest version of this vampire, she's got at least 15 skills maxed out if not more, a masters in Villainy and another degree, and she's practically outlived most of the town she's in at 500 or so days old.
Look up Thyme on the gallery, I think you might find her there...
