I have all kinds of different vampires both in Forgotten Hollow and other places. Some are very human-friendly and try their best to live a normal life among their mortal friends, others... not so much.
The three premade vampires have been edited, moved in together, and are now the leaders of the vampire community:
- Vlad is still the founder of Forgotten Hollow, but a little nicer, and rumour has it he's the oldest and most powerful vampire in the world.
- Caleb has been renamed to Vasmer Balke, the author of the Encyclopedias Vampiricas who focuses more on knowledge about vampire lore than raw power. "He" is also gender-fluid, male in his human form and female in his dark form, and I'm still waiting for the pronoun update to come to my (German) game so I can actually give him the pronoun "they".
- Lilith is now Valeria Janekowski, no longer Caleb's sister, but an expert on vampire diets who, in my headcanon, came up with the vegetarian lifestyle and runs the online shop for plasma bags. The popular drink "Plasma Jane" was named after her.
The three of them no longer live in Forgotten Hollow, but in Granite Falls, which has been the capital of magic in my game ever since I turned it residential. Every lot is home to one or more leading figures of their respective occult communities. For example, the alphas of the two werewolf packs also live in Granite Falls rather than Moonwood Mill.

Another VIP in the vampire community, albeit not their leader, is Mercury, the owner of a shop that sells all kinds of rare occult items. His name is not a coincidence, he's my version of the Greek god of commerce and messages, and therefore technically older than Vlad even though the latter's bio claims otherwise. Mercury, his asari girlfriend Zeraphine Nocturn and their cat familiar Sir Wednesday are currently (un-)living in Bridgeview, Newcrest, which I have turned into an eternal winter world using a home-made mod.

The vampires' lack of needs does hold me back from playing with them more, though. Managing my sims' needs is an integral part of my game, yet vampires barely ever need anything. (I know, the only things they don't actually need are beds and toilets, but that gives them all the more time to take care of other needs, making it seem like they're perfectly happy most of the time.) Ideal when you have a very active and/or adventurous vampire who wants to explore the world without being held back by things like sleep, not so much when you're just trying to live a normal life. Also, kitchen appliances and bathrooms with toilets are a must-have in every house and it's weird when none of the residents actually use them. That's why I often have vampires living together with non-vampires.
