Oh my god true???

Would have been neat to have this "known vampire" status as well.. even though some of mine don't even have a normal-looking form, let alone a dark form. Maybe that could be why.

But there could be other ways to go about it. Maybe they'd discover someone's a vampire when they observe them doing that hand clawy idle animation, or see them drink from someone nearby in public, or ask to drink from them or see them in front of a mirror or something.

Or if they just.. plain have those glowy eyes and sharp teeth and other vampire-exclusive features. Even in their default appearance. Sometimes you can just literally tell someone's not quite human. Other times they may be good at hiding just that in their non-dark form. It's what I like about the customization options here.

Yes! This bothers me quite a bit. Why is there no known vampire status? I mean, it's already there for aliens so wouldn't be too hard to use that same (though fixed, please) system for vamps. There's lots of (unwanted) townie aliens walking around in my game undisguised yet Sims have no idea that they're aliens, while they know that my completely disguised vampire is, in fact, a vampire the moment they meet him. :expressionless:

I only recently started having aliens in my game, and this issue is bothering me too. Though I do have to lol at the notification about how good the disguise was "except for that one alien detail." Dude... I've only had Sims be Confident upon finding out about aliens, though. Could have something to do with the fact that I usually don't play aliens, I just have my Sims interact with them. Apparently, all of my own Sims are really open-minded about it lol.
