Okay, so, pictures. I'll start off simple, I guess. One of my favorite Sims (possibly my favorite -- it's hard to just pick one) from Sims 3 was Violet LeFleur, an ancient vampire. She's a 'good' vampire -- looks very pretty, as she did when she was turned, tries not to drink from other Sims and so on. She was originally quite introverted, very proper and a bit brooding (Had the 'Brooding' and 'Proper' traits in TS3 -- I like Brooding better than TS4's Eternally Sad, I think, but it works. Really miss the Proper trait a lot.), lived by herself in an old (but not run-down) mansion. She was a sculptor, very creative -- her lifetime aspiration was 'Descendant of DaVinci,' which required mastering Sculpting, Painting and Inventing.
I don't have a lot of pics of Violet in TS3, though I may take more later -- I do still have the game installed and start it up now and then. Here's her main pic from CAS though:

I did a little writing and tried to flesh out Violet's early background in a topic here. That explains a bit about her and how she came to be a vampire. In my TS3 game, she met a Faerie (who moved into the house down the street from her mansion), and fell in love. That kind of brought her out of her brooding and introspection a bit and got her involved in life again. I'm hoping I can play some of that again, but they need to add Faeries to TS4. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Here's Violet as she is in TS4 so far:

I couldn't find the same hair in TS4, nor the gown. Still hoping maybe someday. I tried to get her face as close as I could. The way the hair frames it makes the shape look a little different, but I think I've gotten it pretty close. Maybe I'll fine a hairstyle in TS3 without the bangs and see how they compare that way.
I had made her in CAS as a human, then found that you can't simply change the species in CAS. So I ended up creating Estienne, her sire, and getting in a little gameplay between them so he could turn her. I may have to post some pics of Estienne a little later. He's still around in Forgotten Hollow so far, and Violet's moved into her mansion in Willow Creek.
(Will have to post some pics of the mansion too. I recreated that from the TS3 layout. More or less. Some things didn't work quite the same, but it's close. The original was a somewhat modified version of the 'Blown With the Breeze' lot by Maxis that came with the Sims 3 Ambitions EP.)
