Vampires of ''The Sims 3''-era are based on a more modern interpretation of vampires, instead of the more classically-inspired vampires of ''[[The Sims 2]]''.<ref name="ea sneak peek">[http://www.thesims3.com/community/news.html?selMonth=7&selYear=2010#1790841678 The Sims 3 - Sneak peek at The Sims 3 Late Night]</ref> They have a pale, slightly glowing skin tone, fangs, glowing eyes, and the optional neck tattoo from the Sims clothing accessories. When they sleep, vampires snore V's instead of Z's.

Adult vampires run in vampire speed when they play tag with children.
In [[Bridgeport]], vampires are often found at [[Plasma 501]],<ref name="gamespot preview" /> a vampire [[bar]] located in the center of the city. Sims may enter the bar only by bribing their way in, unless they have a celebrity status of at least 2.<ref name="sims3nieuws" /> The Red Velvet Lounge is the supernatural hangout for vampires in ''The Sims 3: Supernatural''. Vampires can be attracted to other towns by placing a lot and changing it to the "vampire lounge" lot type.

[[File:Vampire hunting.JPG|thumb|200px|Vampire Hunting]]
Special abilities of vampires include an extended [[lifespan]]. When vampires become young adults, their aging becomes abnormal. All young adult and adult vampires have a lifespan five times the length of a normal Sim's, although vampires are not immortal, unlike in ''The Sims 2. ''If they have mortal children before turning into vampires, it is possible the vampire can actually outlive their own children.
*'''Enhanced [[motives]]
Other special abilities include the ability to "hunt." By clicking on a blank space of terrain on a lot populated by other Sims, the vampire will receive the option to hunt. Hunting gives a thermal aura around the victim
Vampire Sims also have the option to make a Sim think of you. This causes the target Sim think of the vampire, which is usually indicated by a thought bubble over their head,<ref name="ign preview" /> and causes a relationship plus.<ref name="gamesradar preview2">[http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-sims-3/preview/the-sims-3-late-night-vampires-wont-be-like-twilight-says-associate-producer/a-20100907144624451036/g-20061106113750640058 Gamesradar - The Sims 3: Late Night]</ref> This is greyed out for a certain amount of time after use.
Line 86 ⟶ 88:
The other obvious vampire weakness is sunlight. Vampires can only go out in the sunlight for a short amount of time before getting the "Heating Up" moodlet, and they will start to smoke. The "Heating Up" moodlet lasts for 3 hours, then the vampire will pass out. After this, it changes to the "Too Much Sun" moodlet, and the vampire may not hunt, read minds, or override the emotions of other Sims. The vampire's thirst will also decrease at a much faster rate, forcing more plasma consumption until the "Too Much Sun" moodlet wears off or the vampire also has the "Sanguine Snack" moodlet. This moodlet will last two days and the timer will pause every time the vampire is outside during the day. The "Too Much Sun" moodlet can be removed prematurely by use of the Moodlet Manager or a spa package from a day spa.<ref name="sims3nieuws" /><ref name="gamesradar preview2" /> If the ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'' expansion pack is installed, vampires can also use a parasol to protect themselves from sunlight.
Garlic is another vampiric weakness. It can make the vampire sick.<ref name="urbania-sims" /> Eating garlic, food made with garlic, or drinks with garlic will give a vampire the "Garlic Breath" and "Nauseous" moodlet. It can cause them to pass out. It will also cause any vampire who romantically interacts with someone who's just eaten garlic to either get sick or pass out.[http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/45/278851.page]
==Vampires in The Sims 3: Supernatural==
Line 92 ⟶ 94:
''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'' gives vampires several new abilities. Vampires are enhanced with hypnotic abilities and intimidation. They can become immortal and gain immunity to sunlight via a [[lifetime reward]]. [[Alchemy]] provides new ways to create and cure vampires, as well as temporary protection from sunlight. There are new interactions such as hypnotizing a Sim with "Hypnotic Gaze". Vampires can become immortal if they purchase the '''Immortal''' lifetime reward which prevents them from aging, meaning they cannot die from old age. The reward will grant them sparkles whenever they step into the sunlight, giving them full immunity to the sunlight. The sparkles will last until they go indoors or until night time. The sparkles will give a positive moodlet to appear for however long the vampire is in the sun.
Vampires now have a new [[Lifetime Wish]] exclusive to them called '''Turn the Town'''. They must drink from 20 different Sims and turn 5 Sims into vampires to fulfill this wish.▼
▲If a vampire sleeps in the [[Sarcophagus|Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings]] 3 times, it will replace one of the vampire's traits with the [[Evil]] trait. Vampires now have a new [[Lifetime Wish]] exclusive to them called '''Turn the Town'''. They must drink from 20 different Sims and turn 5 Sims into vampires to fulfill this wish.
New Interactions for vampires are:

==Trivia==
▲*Sims in transition from normal to vampire cannot become pregnant or travel overseas.
*Using the "Cure" interaction of The Moodlet Manager (if successful) on a Sim who has begun the transformation to vampire will cause that Sim to instantly become a vampire.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgeUnHJ3q80]
*Vampires can also bite the [[Grim Reaper]], though it won't turn him into a vampire. In fact, he won't even get
*While every vampire's favorite food is 'O-Positive', the lifetime reward, [[Lifetime reward#World Adventures|Change of Taste]], can change this to another type of food temporarily. The game will eventually revert the favorite food back to O-Positive.
*Upon gaining the "Heating Up" [[moodlet]], a vampire sim may receive a wish to enter into shade if any unpromised wish slots are open. If a wish slot is left open, the player can constantly gain lifetime happiness for that particular wish each time the moodlet is gained.
Line 167 ⟶ 168:
*Most pre-made vampires tend to prefer Black over other colors. This alludes to their gothic preferences, though some exceptions exist, such as [[Morrigan Hemlock]]'s favorite color (turquoise). Most also have the Evil trait (with [[William Fangmann]] and [[Wogan Hemlock]] being two pre-made exceptions) which reflects a pop culture stereotype of vampiric seduction and deception.
*Vampires cannot redeem coupons for clones or purchase the Clone Voucher lifetime reward as they are considered occults by the game.
▲*To make an instant vampire right after they have been bitten, go to Edit Town and split up the household, move the Sim that will be turned into a vampire in another household and switch households to the one you merged them with.
*Most [[Bridgeport]] vampires are enemies with another vampire. However, the only [[William Fangmann|two]] [[Elvira Slayer|vampires]] are enemies with [[Apollo Bloom|a human]] and [[Lotta Greaves|a ghost]].
