===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.

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.

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 vampirism===
[[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.
Line 132 ⟶ 138:
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 tomust be taken in order to grow as a vampire, such as sloppy drinking, further weakness to sunlight, uncontrollable hissing, unableinability 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 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,edited or removed via any mirror.
 
"Dark Form" is totally optional,. andThe theplayer Player willis not be penalized for not using it. Both forms have the exact same customization options, and Vampires without a Dark Form will have access to the same abilities aswith Vampiresor withwithout a Dark FormsForm.
 
===Vampire needs===
[[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 with other vampires====
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 version of sparringmanner whereas 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 a Thean 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 The Ultimate Vampire Cure is not used.
 
====Vampire 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 vampirism===
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 202 ⟶ 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.
