Vampire pack worth getting?

Vampires is a good pack, especially if you like playing with supernatural sims. Sims won't spontaneously turn into vampires. You create them in CaS or engage a vampire in interactions to "turn" your sim. The game will create some townie vampires. When the pack first released, some players complained about frequent vampire invasions of their sim's homes and the pack was retuned to decrease the frequency of those events. I've had the pack for a year and have never had a vampire invade my home. You can't toggle off any of the occult types in game options, but there are in game toggles to prevent any vampire visitations, such as placing garlic on windows and doors and using lock designations. There are also mods to give you more control. Frankly, I wish my vampires were a bit more menacing.

According to the legends doesn't a vampire have to be invited before they can come into your house?
Or was that just on Buffy :confused:

Yes, the notion that vampires cannot enter a home without being invited is cannon folklore, I believe. Of course, the rules are always changing with the new gen vampires these days... :smiley:

Forgot to answer OP. If you enjoy supernatural stuff, I'd say vampires is probably worth your time, but if you're not really planning on creating a lot of vamp households I'd probably say pass on it... I buy every pack, even if I don't necessarily want or need it, I just like to have the most up to date collection. That said, there are definitely packs I'd recommend bypassing if you're needing to be selective, and for me I'd skip vampires - I think I've made one vamp since the pack came out.

As an occult player, my answer is yes. The build/buy is very victorian/goth which is also up my alley. Now if you're a fan of them vamps, you're going to enjoy the pack, they're well thought out and with the vampire perk system (and depending on your playstyle) you can have multiple vamps who are unique. Also forgotten hollow is a small but dark world, which is the only world of its kind.

I recommend searching for sims 4 vampire gameplay videos to see content creators featuring the pack, that'll give you an idea of what to expect.

It is, in my opinion, one of the best sims4 packs.

If you like occult and spooky, vampires is a great pack.
As for the sale, Black Friday is coming up in a few weeks, so I expect there to be another sale around that time.

Along with Vampires, you also get Plasma plants and Garlic bulbs. Leave a couple of garlic bulbs on the ground near your front door, or you can make a garland or wreath of garlic and hang it on a wall. Vampires get all nauseous. They really don't like it.

I've bred and evolved Garlic up to Perfect level plants - it takes a while, but perfect produce is looked upon favourably by Sims who receive it as a gift. So I have been giving it as a friendly gift to known Vampire Sims. They carry it around with them, and their poor confused Sim brains can't work out why their vampire powers won't work, and why they keep throwing up. Good times.

I'm quite happy with my purchase of the Vampires pack. If it is available on sale, it might be worth picking up. There's some good CAS and Build mode stuff too.

Possibly my favourite pack, I highly recommend it! Vampires won’t autonomously turn your sims, but the game will spawn a few vampire npc’s to populate your world.

Occasionally, not often, but sometimes, vampires will turn up at your sim’s houses at night, but you can stop them entering by clicking the entrance doors to the building. I’ve never seen one actually try to bite my sim autonomously after years of playing, but they can do it, it’s just rare.

Oh as for the sales, they tend to happen every 2 months so you won’t have to wait long to get it at a reduced price if you have the patience.

I've never had any of my sims be bitten by a vampire, and I didn't change any settings.

I think it's a solid pack, so if you like vampires, I'd go for it. Just one word of warning, though---Forgotten Hollow only comes with like 5 lots, and only 1 or 2 of them is buildable

Yes, I think it's worth getting. The CAS features are great. Vampire Sims can also have special powers using a tier system, if you like that. I enjoy it!
