I've searched the web and read guides to vampires in Sims 4, but I'm still not certain of one thing. If I have a sim who asks to be turned, will that sim still have his or her same appearance in the game? I know vampires have a "dark form" but does that appear only if/when they are feeding?

This isn't true. Aside from weight, which can be accessed through cas.fulleditmode, you can alter every aspect of your sim's physical dark form appearance via the edit household interface in world management. You can change eyes, fangs, skin color, drag and pull body and facial feature and even alter their voice. Yes, you can have a separate voice for your vampire's dark form. And, if none of that suits your fancy, you can delete the sim's dark form entirely.
@OEII1001 Oh, tell me how! I'm a very realistic player, but I want to incorporate vampires into my game as a weird "cult" that's luring in new members. I want a few of my sims to "join the cult" but I don't really want their appearance altered.
Yesterday, I played around in CAS and created a vampire. I had problems. :( I was never able to get her to look fully human even though I always use cas.fulleditmode. If I can have vampires that look human at all times, I would be very happy! I think ideally I would want my sims' dark forms to be the same as their human form except that their voice would change.
Go to the manage world interface and select the household with the vampire in question. Once in CAS, click on the portrait. Above the normal portrait should be the dark form portrait. Click on it. On that portrait there will be a small X in the upper right corner, just like the one used to completely delete a sim. Click on it to delete the dark form. Your vampire will then only have one form. If you ever want one back you can use the option to create it again.

Thank you for the information. I was able to go back through Household Management to the vampire I created yesterday, and yes, I was able to give her a fully human appearance. I feel much more comfortable now in allowing a few of my sims to join this "strange new cult".

Umm no, you are not stuck with whatever darkform the game assigned to you, you can use change appearance on mirror to change your dark form or even "mirrored" from your human form, so you look just the same on both form, if you want to be a vampire from buffyverse, twilight or nosferatu you are free to do so.
Strange, that never worked for me, I can only change clothes, hair and so on. Everything else is locked. Oh well, guess that's one more bug for me to enjoy. :P
You're accessing CAS through the mirror or dresser. If you go to Manage World and access CAS from the list of households you'll get the full options.
