Hey guys, So I recently started playing with vampires instead of just watching them from afar. My problem is I just don't know what "vampire" things to do with them after they have read the books, sparred each other and got some powers. For this particular family I am trying to make them live as much like a vampire as possible so that means no jobs, no going out during the day etc. But I'm just stuck with 3 vampires at home all day doing nothing and even at night forgotten hollow doesn't offer much other than chess tables. I did make a "vampire club" but that got old really fast. How do you play your Vampires? Any ideas for interesting gameplay that seems to suit a vampiric lifestyle? Thanks in advance!

My vampires are in covens (using clubs), and it’s partly good vs evil (with a few forbidden romantic crossovers). My evil vampires want to take control of the worlds, and rid them of all other occults. My good vampires have joined a group of spellcasters to try and stop them. I rotate around five households of them, and mix in other storylines when it fits. I do enjoy reading vampire novels (no not just the sparkly ones lol), so I often get a lot of my stories from those.

Read a bit about "Vampire, the Masquerade" in the white wolf wiki. That should give you lots of ideas what you could do with them, storywise.

in one of my first saves with vampires, i just grabbed the richest and most powerful sim a.k.a malcolm landgraab, turned him an immotal vampire without any fatal weakness and made him rule the sims world alongside caleb as reference, this wasn't much of a vampire-exclusive gameplay but i had fun discovering the vampire stuff while villainizing malcolm for vampire-only gameplay i don't recall making special saves for them, they just coexisted with my other sims and their powers sometimes would be handy

And how do these decide who lives and dies? Do you use mods for that?

Vampire occult-like gameplay ideas?

@Goosey Yes! The dungeon idea is happening. I'm doing it, it sounds really fun. Thanks. Also love your Sims. They look a bit like Bratz dolls. Hehe
@Simmingal yeah I was actually in the middle of making a vampire strong enough to beat Vlad in a fight and kill him(with cheats) and then was planning to move in. Once Vlad is out of the way I'm going to host a drinking party. That's settled now.

Personally I've been trying to create vampire characters that defy the normal vampire tropes. One example is that I have a vampire that is a gamer girl.

I also suppose that if you have the Strangeville pack as well as a few other packs that include some of the other occult life states (mermaids, spellcasters, aliens... servo?) you could create a supernatural mystery gang to solve the mystery.

Though that does raise the question, if you have multiple characters who have the detective career, do they all go to work at the same time and do the same cases?
