I know I just missed the sale but I've been wondering is the vampire pack worth getting? The only thing I don't want are my sims randomly turning into vampires! I remember someone saying there is a way you can turn this off like in game options, your sims will still get bit but not turn? The only reason I want to get the pack is because I've been wanting to make a supernatural kind of family, a ghost, alien, vampire, and a werewolf! I would need the werewolf pack as well! Wonder if there will be another sale soon?

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:

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.

I love the pack despite the fact that if you want vampires in your game, even if you have the pack, you have to practically go get them yourself. If you don't seek them out and/or play them directly, they may or may not come to you. In my games, I have to go knocking and beg or the only contact I would have is occasionally seeing Caleb as a vendor or barkeep.

The mods for the pack are splendid, especially those by Zero.

I recommend anyone who's interested in some Supernatural Victorian fun to get the following packs if they don't have them. They are:
Vampires, Realm of Magic, Werewolves, Spooky & Paranormal. They all go together really well. ;)

I have Vampires but I haven't got opportunity to play them properly, but now I have family with a werewolf and vampire married, with a werewolf toddler. Aww, they are so sweet :)
Vampires, in my opinion, are OP, not as much as mages, but nontheless...
They require a time, though, to get powerful. First they are a little annoying, they don't want to eat, fear sun and have so much thirst...

Vampires is a great pack!

If you decide to get it I recommend getting the vampire invasion fix since they were removed from the game. It adds a little bit of excitement.

Just like to add that I thought it was designed like a sim who reads up on the vampire lore will get more involved with vampires visiting etc? So, activating the interest might trigger the features? I might be wrong. In general I appreciate that not all my homes get invaded by vampires, it allows me having just a few sims that are into it.
