Tell me about your vampires.

My main vampire is Bill. He's also a musician. He's married to a very beautiful spellcaster named Janine. Together, they have 7 daughters. 4 are vampires, 3 are spellcasters. (game generated) Their youngest, Karol (spellcaster), just moved to Chestnut Ridge to start a simpler life. Bill can be a bit controlling when it comes to family but on his own he's a lover. He loves the ladies and his wife knows it! One time, he was flirting with a random female sim and she inferniated him! That was quite the sight...lol...

Okay hm. Where do I even begin- I pretty much have this whole vampire thing going on, doodled comics and all, that's really gone a bit beyond what I can do in The Sims at this point. Like I have my own lore set up that I like to follow for my story (although not all of it is exactly playable in TS4. yeah this means a lot of compromises). So let's start with that...

SOME LORE
- Everyone gets a unique bat form; this bat form will influence their ear shape. Because I like bats, and I like pointy ears. Gotta have pointy ears.
- Besides that, powers and weaknesses get quite varied!
- - For example, some are sun resistant, most are not.
- - Any powers and weaknesses on the vampire power tree are basically up for grabs this way.
- - Some also have powers that are just not available in TS4. Walking on walls, for example.
- Eye color implies cause of undeath. Similar to Sims 3 ghosts.
- - Eyes always glow, unless they're disguised.
- They are kept immortal by dark magic.
- The dark form is their true form; human form is simply their disguise to allow them to blend into society better by looking human. Some vampires have not bothered practicing maintenance of a human form, and thus only has a dark form.
- Generally, they all look tired as heck. Often they'll also have rather dead and cold-looking skintones, depending on how little effort they make to blend in. With age, their skin may even take on a more unnatural shade. For example, my thousand year old vampire is about as pale as snow, with a cold blue tint. It has slowly turned this shade over time. (note: not every vampire gets this pale - it depends on what the starting point was)
- Cannot eat normal food, more often than not.
- Normally cannot create children, unless they can.
- Dark Ley Line-born vampires are ones whose parents have been cursed by vampires in some way or another.
- To turn, one must die soon after being bit. While the bite is fresh. Yeah, accidents can happen this way.
- Can stay in bat form indefinitely; another thing I cannot do in-game.
- Hibernation is a thing and it can be truly indefinite if uninterrupted
- Cannot cure them. Once they're undead, they're dead. Removing the vampirism from their body would simply kill them for real.

Honestly I would share some of my vampire sims too, but I see this message is already rather long. Hah, oops.

I guess I'll just hide them under this spoiler.


Yeah it's those guys in my signature. I just like them a lot.

My daughter's "forbidden love" vampire - werewolf couple finally had a vampire baby, so of course that's gonna be vampire mom's favorite (although she still insists the older two are vampires too). My daughter is planning to rp that the 2 older werewolf kids might pick on the little vampire baby, like some siblings do.

And in a strange turn of events, the vampire bride has developed a bad relationship with her own vampire grandpa. I don't know how that happened, but surely it must be due to some resentment over him killing himself at her wedding.

Most of my vampires live rather normal lifes, so I guess I got alot of "good" vampires, cause they dont really do much if any vampire things, besides drinking plasma packs and teleporting as bat/mist arround the place.
I always give them full sun immunity too.
One of the reasons for this is, that I really like some of the vampire face features (like the dark under the eyes) which are only available to occults (and not even all of em).
But also I just like making occults and have them live normal lifes, idk why....diversity?

I got two "special" vampires tho, one is an undertaker who fears the sun, so he is always cranky during the day...he is also possessed.
The other is a ghoul, my only "vampire" who cant teleport.

What I love about vampires is that their weakness and abilities can be used to make them more diverse, some can eat normal food, others cant, some are eternally sad, some are afraid of daytime and so on.

I dont go by any lore or law, I just do what I like and feel fits the character.

@manicobsessive I just checked with my vampires since I haven't played them in a while and yep, not working.

Meh, that sucks. Thanks for checking!

@manicobsessive @blueybluesky yes, unfortunately the patch last November that fixed the bug where all (muggle) sims would only walk and not jog regardless of how far they had to go, broke vampire and werewolf super speed in the process, and hasn't been fixed again yet.

My new Vampire household are Gothic Western with 2 dark Unicorn Horses.

i play a lot of vampires. i do usualy give them sun immunity so they can do normal things outside. quite a few of them are gardeners or farmers lol. my current active family are vampires who own and breed horses. all my vamps learn how to make plasma packs from fish and frogs so they never go hungry, but even still i like to keep them on lots with an active population of sims who wander by. nothing wrong with a midnight snack :wink: i have another vampire family that i play as demons, so i dont use bats for them only super speed or mist and their dark forms all have horns and tails and such. really annoyed about super speed being broken rn -_-
