==Becoming a Vampire==

In the ''[[TS3:SN|The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', vampires can be created in Create a Household; however, in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', Sims can only become vampires by befriending a preexisting vampire and then asking to be turned.<ref name="gamesradar us">[http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-sims-3/news/how-to-become-a-vampire-and-make-vampire-babies-in-the-sims-3-late-night/a-201007201829444065/g-20061106113750640058 Gamesradar US - How to become a vampire and make vampire babies in The Sims 3: Late Night]</ref> If a Sim asks a vampire to bite them before they become friends, the vampire will refuse. The vampire will also refuse if there are more than 3 non-vampire Sims within a room. When a Sim is bitten after the interaction "Ask to Turn" or if the vampire "Offers to Turn" the Sim, the Sim will receive the "Unusual Blemish" moodlet for the next 3 days. During this time, unusual messages will pop up describing the transformation. At the end, the Sim will be engulfed in a spiraling cloud of red mist and bats, and perform the action "Complete Metamorphosis." <ref name="simcookie">[http://www.simcookie.com/dossiers-sims/preview-the-sims-3-late-nigth/ SimCookie - Preview : The Sims 3 Late Nigth]</ref>
 
Vampire ghosts can turn living Sims into vampires, but a ghost cannot be turned into a vampire.

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]] '''<ref name="gamespot handson" />{{clarify}}
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 <ref name="ign preview">[http://pc.ign.com/articles/111/1112311p1.html IGN - GamesCom 2010: Late Night preview]</ref> which reveals which Sim has the best plasma.<ref name="gamespot handson">[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/thesims3latenightexpansionpack/news.html?sid=6275284&mode=previews GameSpot - The Sims 3: Late Night Exclusive Hands-On - A Brief Look at the New Expansion]</ref> This also gives them a tag in the map view,<ref name="gamesradar preview2" /> and an aura around the target's portrait in the Relationships tab. When a vampire has a target, they will get a wish to drink from that Sim. Drinking from the target not only refills the Thirst bar, but also grants a [[moodlet]] which prevents the Thirst bar from decaying until the moodlet expires.
 
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.

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].
