Will Vampires affect my gameplay too much?

I deleted all premades, and remade my own Daemons, barely notice they are there. It's when i'm controlling them There are big impacts.

vampires is honestly such a great pack! its very detailed and comes along with great cas/build options. the only downside is when vampires show up your door at night. usually when that happens i have to wake up my sim and tell them to leave so i can continue to speed through their sleep. the other annoying thing is when they break into your house and bite your sim (they can't turn them unless your sim asks) but they do get a moodlet of being uncomfortable. i agree with that if you dont it to affect your realistic gameplay that you could just always delete vlad, caleb, and lilith in whatever save file you dont want them in.

What about your sim being a vampire?!? is it awesome or will it get annoying?!? what is to be expected?

@kaspertelly I personally think it's awesome. It's rarely gotten annoying for me.

You do have to take weaknesses--kind of like fame quirks in Get Famous, but you choose what your weaknesses will be. There are a lot of workarounds, as well. Several of the weaknesses like guilty drinker or day phobia make your vampire tense at various points. But if you get the Carefree trait with your satisfaction points, you can pretty much negate all the negatives there. The powers are really nice, and so is the non-aging.

The positives way outweigh the negatives, in my opinion.

The only ones I don't recommend the pack for are players who are very dedicated to keeping their game as realistic as possible. They aren't intrusive, but the pack is called Vampires, so unless you use mods, they're going to show up at least sometimes.

I didn't delete any premades and some lots I'm playing on has a garlic near the front door and I barely interact with vampires. I do plan to play with them in the future but in families with no supernaturals they don't show up everywhere or bother me.

Like Strangerville, you can have Vampires in your game, completely ignore the strangeness / vampire aspect and have it not really bother you much. Playing with them is fun (in terms of leveling them up and giving them new powers), but I'm a huge occult nerd so I'm biased. There are also some fun BB and CAS items.

@katrinasforest awesome I want to get that vampires pack. Would like to try that gameplay.

Honestly, I don't think so. I like integrating them into "normal" Sims lives because it adds drama and mystery but if you don't want to, I don't think it's difficult. Especially if you delete the main ones in new hollow like @belpita mentioned. If you come across an npc and don't want them to be a vampire for some reason, it's easy enough to download the cure off the gallery if you don't want to/can't make it yourself/don't want to use cheats to raise skills. I haven't had a break in, but I've only had the pack for a few months of scattered play, so I might not be the best to ask. My sister has ha for awhile though and she only ever had Vlad break in a few times, so if you're really concerned, just delete him or change his skills in the skill tree.

Honestly the vampires pretty much never make an appearance. I even set up a full town of vampires in forgotten hollow, and moved in one normal sim family, expecting all sorts of fun. Except they still haven’t had a visit, and they’ve all aged up now. A little disappointing to be honest at how little they visit :( To begin with vampires were frequent, but people complained, they tuned it right right down.

And you can plant garlic, make garlic braids to hang above your front door/ bed if you’re that paranoid about them. But then you could add that into your sims story? But the vampire gameplay is actually pretty good so defo check out that side of the pack; and the items too, defo recommend getting it ;)

That's interesting. I thought it was just the difference between the console and the PC version. (Or maybe it's that, too.) But I did notice break-ins much more often playing the PS4. (That was when my one Sim got bit right before he was due for his big promotion.)
