==The Sims: Makin' Magic==
[[File:sims vampires.PNG|thumb|right|A Sim "vampiress" and "vampire".]]
Vampires do not really play a role in ''[[The Sims]]'', not even in ''[[Makin' Magic]]''. The only character who is presumed to be an actual vampire is [[Vicki Vampiress]], an [[NPC]] who operates the "All Things Draconic" cart in [[Magic Town]].
 
[[Sim]]s cannot become vampires, but a magical adult Sim who successfully uses the "Beauty or Beast" [[Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#List of charms|charm]] can temporarily take on the ''appearance'' of a vampire. This is purely cosmetic, and the Sim remains a normal Sim in all respects.
Line 31:
 
===Features===
In addition to their characteristic coloration and dentition, vampires possess unique [[File:The-sims-2-nightlife-20050831065836035-1-.jpg|thumb|A Sim being hypnotized by a vampire.]]animations such as stalking about with an arm over their face, transforming into a bat for faster or more efficient routing, and a scowling portrait in the interaction pie menu.
 
[[File:The-sims-2-nightlife-20050831065836035-1-.jpg|thumb|A Sim being hypnotized by a vampire.]]
 
Vampires gain the ''Bleh!!!'' interaction, which lowers the [[bladder]] need of target non-vampire Sim and can be used regardless of relationship. Teenage Vampires can get the undead scholarship to go to college, though the memory description will incorrectly describe the Sim as a [[zombie]]. Vampires cease to age past adulthood and cannot die of old age or [[starvation]], even if their [[hunger]] reaches zero.
 
Their [[motives]] become static during [[File:Bat.jpeg|thumb|A bat.]]the night (unless depleted by specific activities), but drop quickly during the day. A vampire exposed to daylight will sizzle and smoke and see their needs plummet rapidly; if they are not directed indoors quickly, they will burn to ash and die. For this reason, they must sleep in a coffin or meditate during the day. Due to their nocturnal nature, they can be contacted via phone after other Sims complain of being woken up, but cannot be called between 7 AM and 6 PM; a vampire who owns a computer may be chatted with online at any time.
 
[[File:Bat.jpeg|thumb|A bat.]]
 
Other creature Sims can also become vampires, and possess unique combinations of physical traits. [[Alien]], [[PlantSim]], and evil-aligned [[witch]] vampires will have turquoise skin, while [[zombie]] vampires turn dark blue. [[Werewolf]] vampires will retain their vampiric appearances during the day, and look like werewolves at night. [[Servo]] vampires gain fangs, a red eye, and a small bat tattoo on their heads.
 
===Curing Vampirismvampirism===
[[File:Vampire Coffin.jpg|thumb|A [[maid]] sneaking on a vampire coffin.]]
If at any time the Sim grows tired of the vampire life, Vampirism can be cured with [[File:Vampire Coffin.jpg|thumb|A [[maid]] sneaking on a vampire coffin.]][[Potions|Vamprocillin-D]], purchasable from the [[Gypsy Matchmaker|Matchmaker]] or brewable by [[witches]]. Other Sims can [[Influence]] vampire Sims to drink Vamprocillin-D, provided they have the potion in their [[inventory]] (this can be accomplished by giving it to them as a gift). Once cured, the Sim will be returned to normal; they will be able to go out in the day but will lose all the perks of being a creature of the night.

A [[testing cheats]] interaction exists for curing vampirism, but the interaction is bugged and does not actually cure vampirism.
 
===Wanting and Fearingfearing Vampirismvampirism===
 
Sims will not necessarily have wants or fears related to vampirism, but if they do, all Sims except [[Knowledge]] and Pleasure Sims will fear it. Knowledge Sims will want it, and once bitten will fear curing it.
Line 48 ⟶ 56:
The [[Memories|memory]] of becoming a vampire is always positive, even if the Sim feared becoming one.
 
===Controlling/Avoidingavoiding Vampirismvampirism===
 
The Grand Vampires will not appear in a neighborhood that does not have a Downtown [[sub-neighborhood]] associated with it.
Line 64 ⟶ 72:
 
==The Sims 2 (PSP)==
The player's character will get turned into a vampire by [[Virginya Feng]] while doing a goal for [[Lincoln Broadsheet]]. While the player is a vampire their hunger need will drop faster while outside during the day. They will also have the bite perk which can be used to fill the hunger need at the cost of angering the individual bitten and lowering the player's sanity.
{{Stub}}
The player can cure themselves of vampirism by asking [[Mambo Loa]] about a cure which which will unlock a vampire cure recipe on crafting tables which requires garlic and plasma packs. The bite perk will be retained after the player is cured and if the player uses it they will become a vampire again.

=== The Sims 3: Late Night===
[[File:Late night vampire sleeping.jpg|thumb|A vampire sleeping.]]
 
{{Main|Vampire (The Sims 3)}}
 
While not included in the base game, vampires are included in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' expansion pack as well as a theme pack for ''[[The Sims 3 (iPhone)|The Sims 3]]'' iPhone. Without the ''Late Night'' expansion pack, using [[CAS]], players can create a Sim with a pale skin, red eyes, and (with [[custom content]]) protruding teeth, for a vampire-looking Sim. ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' unlocks the ability to create vampire Sims from [[CAS]], even if the player has not previously installed ''The Sims 3: Late Night''.
 
Line 95 ⟶ 103:
 
Other features implemented in The Sims 3: Supernatural are Plasma Juice and Plasma Orange Juice, as seen in ''Late Night''. The juices are basically blood in a juice box and can be accessed from the fridge by a vampire Sim. Plasma fruit can be obtained by raiding a grocery store (with a chance of getting arrested), or growing it by planting the fruit or the glowing unknown rare seed. If a vampire Sim has the Vegetarian trait, they will need to live off of these Plasma Products, and if they drink from another Sim they will suffer the same consequences as a Vegetarian human Sim eating meat.

===Becoming a vampire===
==== Create a Sim ====
[[File:TS4 VampiresCAS imgVampire 6Button.jpgpng|thumb|Examples of Vampires made in CAS.]]
Like [[alien]]s in ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work]]'', vampires can be made straight from Create a Sim under the "Add Occult Sim" category and have their own special CAS options, such as having an alternative "dark" form, editing their eyes to be unnatural eye colors, pale skin tones, different fang types, veins and other customization options.
 
====TurnedBeing born====
When one of the parents is a vampire there's a 50% chance that the child will also be born a vampire. When both parents are vampires the child will be born vampire, guaranteed.
There is also a small chance that a child of any occult/non-occult combination can be born a vampire due to the lot trait [[Lot trait|On a Dark Ley Line]].
 
====DarkBeing Formturned====
Sims can ask vampires to be turned. If they comply, the vampire will bite the Sim and then offer them their blood which the Sim will drink. However, a player controlled vampire can also turn other Sims without request. Sims will not immediately transform, but will get the "Strangely Hungry" moodlet which causes their hunger need to drain. This moodlet lasts about 12 hours. Once the moodlet expires, Sims will get a second moodlet, named "Disgusted by Food", which lasts another 12 hours. Once that moodlet expires, a third moodlet is added, called "Appetite Lost". Once this moodlet is added, Sims will be unable to gain other food-related moodlets (except Nauseous) until the transformation is complete. Once this moodlet expires the Sim is finally transformed into a creature of the dark, gaining a Tense moodlet, named "Thirsty", for the first 24 hours of his/her vampirism.<ref>These Moodlets are taken from the The Sims 4 source files.</ref>

===Vampires' Powerspowers===
{{Main|Vampire powers}}
Vampires will have their own panel to gain and upgrade new abilities that make them more powerful. New powers include mind control, shape-shifting into a bat, faster transportation, increased strength, reduced needs, and more.
 
====Weaknesses====
[[File:Rawr.png|thumb|Vampires cannot be seen in the mirror, yet still can interact with it.]]
Vampires all start out with weaknesses, most that can be overcome by purchasing perks in the Vampire Powers menu.
 
Vampires start off with these basic weaknesses:
* The Thirst need replaces Hunger. If a vampire becomes too thirsty they will attack a random Sim, greatly reducing their relationship.
* Sunlight burns them, and if exposedthe toexposure itis forprolonged, too long,it will actually burn and eventually kill them.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td_U-Hvf-Jc</ref>
* Garlic causes a vampire to lose their appetite (but not thirst).
* Using Vampiric powers drains their Vampire Energy.
Vampires can purchase garlic immunity, the three tiers of sun resistance, and/or the tamed thirst perks which can counteract these basic weaknesses. Vampires may also concoct a sunlight reversal cocktail with high vampire lore skill, which effectively reverses their weakness to sunlight. Instead of draining their vampiric energy while out in the sun, this cocktail causes them to gain vampiric energy when exposed to the sun's rays.

With ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'', vampires can go out during the day without harm if there is cloudy weather, as well as blizzards or thunderstorms. Umbrellas may also be carried to protect from the harmful rays of the sun during the day. Additionally, vampires are immune to most side effects of the temperature system, including freezing to death and overheating.

There are more weaknesses that have to be taken in order to grow as a vampire, such as sloppy drinking, further weakness to sunlight, uncontrollable hissing, unable to eat normal food, guilt from feeding on a Sim without their permission, reduced power gain while sleeping, etc...

====Dark Form====
[[File:TS4 Vampires img 3.jpg|thumb|A Vampire in his true form.]]
Just like aliens from ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'', vampires have a sim form and an alternative form in which they can switch between to keep their vampiric presence from being revealed.
 
====Dark form====
Vampires will switch into their "Dark Form" to turn into their true vampiric nature and access some of their supernatural powers, such as feeding and turning other sims.
[[File:TS4 Vampires img 3.jpg|thumb|A VampireVladislaus in his trueDark formForm.]]
Just like aliens from ''The Sims 4: Get to Work'', vampires have a sim form and an alternative form ininto which they can switch between to keep their vampiric presencenature from being revealed.
 
Vampires will switch into their "Dark Form" to turntune into their true vampiric nature and access some of their supernatural powers, such as feeding and turning other sims.
The Dark Form can be fully customized separately from the normal form in CAS. Sims who have been turned will be assigned a randomly generated Dark Form, which can be changed, or removed via any mirror.

Dark Form is optional. The player is not penalized for not using it. Both forms have the same customization options, and Vampires have access to the same abilities with or without a Dark Form.
===Vampire Needs===
 
===Vampire Needsneeds===
[[File:TS4 Vampire Needs.png|thumb]]
Vampires have different needs tofrom normal Sims. Vampires do not need to cater tohave a bladder meter and their energy need is elongated and replaced with "Vampire Energy". asHunger well as the hunger need beingis replaced with a "Thirst" need for plasma. The needs panel also showcasesdisplays power points and the experience needed to achieve the next vampire rank and the power points.
 
Vampires who don't replenish their thirst will attack random Sims and feed from them if it's low enough. Vampires who have low Vampire Energy while they're out in the sunlight will die of sunlight exposure and burst into flames.
 
Vampires can also replenish their Vampire Energy through the typical sleeping through a bed, sleeping in a coffin, or through dark meditation. See the page on [[Vampire powers]] for more information.
 
===Interactions===
Vampires have special interactions which are all marked by a bat symbol in the interaction. Vampires can also use their powers on other Sims even if they are also a vampirevampires.
 
====Interactions towith other Vampiresvampires====
Vampires can interact with others like them by showing off their powers, sparring, and vampire training.
 
Sparring enacts a battle between two vampires as a test of strength. Vampires can enactspar in a friendly versionmanner of sparring where aswhereas enemies can fight each other, damaging their relationship further. Vampires can also slay each other if their relationship is low enough. If the vampire that started the fight has aan Ultimate Vampire Cure in their inventory, they will throw it in the losing vampire's face, curing them of their vampirism. If the fight was unsuccessful then theThe Ultimate Vampire Cure is not used.
 
==== Vampire Offspring offspring====
[[File:Vampire Master and Offspring relationship.png|thumb]]
When vampires turn Sims, that Sim once turned will become the vampire's offspring, as seen in the relationships panel. Vampire's offspring and their master can interact with each other just like any other Sim, exceptbut the master's powers will work more efficiently on them,. withWith the "I am the Master" [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspiration]] reward [[Trait (The Sims 4)|trait]] from the "Vampire Family" aspiration, vampire masters can make their offspring bealways undercomply anwith irresistibletheir command.
 
===Curing Vampirismvampirism===
Vampirism can be cured by obtaining a glass of "The Ultimate Vampire Cure" which is, a concoction that can be made at a bar by Sims with a maxed outmaximum [[Vampire lore]] skill (level 15). Once made, Vampires can voluntarily take it and cure themselves, or other Sims can use the "Slay Vampire" interaction with a cure in their inventory, and once they win the battle the Sim will, throw the cure into the vampire's face, and curecuring them,. thisThis can be done by other vampires as well.

==Trivia==
*A [[Custom content|mod]] object has been created for ''[[The Sims]]'' and available at [http://www.biedersims.de/vamp_eng.html Biedersims.de]. This allows vampirism in-game and affects more than just a Sim's appearance.
*In the GBA and DS versions of ''The Urbz: Sims in the City'', the player's Urb will believe that vampires do not exist when [[Crawdad Clem]] and [[Bayou Boo]] suspect that the player is a vampire. However, Sims could not become vampires in ''The Sims'' era, which ''The Urbz'' is part of, so it is unknown why [[Crawdad Clem]] and [[Bayou Boo]] know about vampires or why Bayou Boo becomes one later in the story.
*Vampires consume plasma. Plasma is actually the liquid part of blood and mostly consists of water and it makes up more than half the volume of blood. Nutrients, minerals, and oxygen are dissolved in plasma. However it's still possible that "plasma" in the''The Sims'' is merely a euphemism for blood to lower the ESRB rating.
*The tribal tattoo and fangs can be removed in [[Create a Sim]]. They are under accessories.
*In ''The Sims 3'', pre-made vampires almost always have black as their favorite color.
Line 184 ⟶ 209:
*In ''The Sims 4: Vampires'', vampires are immune to a total of 7 deaths by default: old age, hunger, drowning, steam, low-quality puffer fish, freezing and overheating. Vampires also have access to the "Sunlight Immunity" perk and the "Dampened Emotions" perk, effectively making them immune to 11 deaths in total when the perks are leveled up to final level.
