To have, or not to have, Vampires
I have been thinking about purchasing the Vampires pack. I am not sure though. I have every other pack for the game, except this one. On one hand, I REALLY want to complete my collection... On the oth...

@Corenren Vampires don't do much in the game unless you actively pursue investigating them with an active sim. If you do not interact with them, and do not read about them (in books or on the computer) and do not talk about them (with the social interactions) they will do almost nothing in the game. It's only once you start to be curious that they get active. This was EA's way of making sure they didn't disrupt play for people not interested in having them disrupt play, I believe.
I think the most you'll see is Vlad (or one of the other vamps that comes with the pack) showing up outside your house shortly after you install the pack. If you IGNORE them, and do not read or talk about vamps, he does not come back again very often (if at all). If you do talk to or study about vamps though, be warned....he'll come back and bite you while you sleep most likely. At that point you'll need to get garlic and learn enough to hang garlic braids or wreaths to keep them out.
If you use mods, you can also set a limit on how many area allowed in your game. I believe the lower limit is 1 (rather than 0, iirc what I read in the MCCC documentation the game doesn't like 0). Unlike past sims games, they also do not spread like a virus. They won't turn other sims into vampires autonomously (without mods that is).
