Sims 4 Vampire Discussion: I Need Help

Honestly, I typically use plasma packs because they are easy once stacked in the inventory. Only thing not easy about them is ordering since we cannot type the numbers in and have to click for an eternity. I easily keep a family of 7 vampires well kept on plasma packs besides the clicking nuisance, and a few have thirst weaknesses making them go through a lot.

Then you can just grow plasma fruit or craft plasma packs from fish if you don't want to order.

I actually complain more about drinking from Sims. If my vampire is evil, why wouldn't (s)he fill the entire thirst need instead of letting go for the other Sim's health?

I think if you create blood packs out of fish or frogs the thirst bar fills more

If you want to use frogs you can breed them in your inventory, just click on them in the inventory. As soon as you have two, they can create a new frog every few hours. There is a cool down of a few hours but as long as you keep two in your inventory you can create a plasma pack every few hours after breeding a frog. It's not enough to fill all the vamp thirst, but you need to buy less packs on the pc.

Life is definitely harder for human-friendly vampires because neither plasma fruit nor plasma packs or Plasma Jane fill the thirst bar quite as quickly and effectively as drinking directly from another sim. Plus, the latter increases their vampire powers as well.

It annoyed me so much that I ended up downloading a mod to make the vegetarian alternatives more satisfying, and now my four-vampire household easily survives on plasma drinks made with the juice fizzer from Eco Lifestyle. One bottle is usually enough to satisfy a vampire for the day.

I can share the mod if anyone is interested.

@GrumpyGlowfish I would definitely be interested in the mod if you don't mind sharing it.

Okay, I just looked it up and it says that the particular mod I'm using ("Better Plasma" by Drinkfromthecup) is currently not available for download. Sorry. :s

But LittleMsSam has also made a similar mod, specifically one that allows you to turn plasma fruit into plasma packs that "fill the Thirst Motive 50% more than the other packs". I haven't tested this one myself, but I know that LittleMsSam keeps her mods up to date, so it should work:

It is available in several languages other than English if needed.

Is your vampire married? If not you could put him on the course for it, a woman that agrees to be both his wife and well..dinner till she passes then that could be his life marrying not for money but for a steady supply of plasma. Which yeah I guess sounds evil but with eternal consent I think that's right at the line.

My main sim is also a good vampire, but I enjoy the challenge. He relies on plasma packs and plasma fruit recipes to manage his thirst. He has also completed the good vampire aspiration, which helps as he has both the tamed thirst power and regained humanity reward trait. He hasn't compelled another sim for a drink for a long time. I'm so proud. :D

I agree playing a bad vampire can be fun and difficult to resist. My main sim has a dark alternate personality that I sometimes play when I'm in the mood for some mischief and I've also played vampires that only feed on evil sims. I'm a sucker for an antihero.

It is difficult sometimes to play a good vampire. I had a recent accident where a thirsty vamp snuck a sip while I was looking at something else :s . I was annoyed with her at the time, she had plenty of plasma packs in her inventory. I've gone on and incorporated it into her story, she is now riddled with guilt and hiding this shameful incident (and resulting cravings) from both her vamp family and her vamp boyfriend (Caleb Vatore). I'm not sure where this is going - right now I've moved on in my game rotations. Once I have some inspiration, I'll swing back around to that game.

LittleMissSam's "Plasma Fruit into Plasma Packs" if you can/want to use mods. Otherwise, 2-3 medical packs (bought online) should be enough for one meal (you'll likely need 2 per day). Plan to order them every weekend or two (treat it like putting in a medicine order for a chronic condition).
Vampire Lore, regular power usage, and regular training will get you the XP.
