==Vampire Needs==
===Thirst===
A vampire's [[hunger]] motive is replaced with thirst and all of their needs bars become purple. Thirst works in the same way as hunger, but can only be filled by drinking Plasma juice, eating Plasma fruit, or consuming Plasma from another Sim. Plasma is the Sim-equivalent of blood. In order to feed from a Sim, the vampire must ask permission and already have good relations with the Sim.<ref name="twitter">[[The Sims 3: Late Night/twitter]]</ref> When vampires drink from a Sim, they will bite in different places depending on the vampire's relationship with the Sim: on the wrist of a friend or on the neck of a lover. A desperate vampire can even go to the [[hospital]] or [[grocery]] store to raid Plasma, but they should watch out as they can get caught and arrested.<ref name="sims3nieuws" /> [[Vegetarian]] vampires are limited to Plasma Fruit and Plasma juice. Meals cooked using

Vampires cannot drink Plasma from children, ghosts, mummies, pregnant Sims, SimBots, Aliens, genies, or imaginary friends in their doll form.

==Interacting with Other Sims==
Non-vampires can subconsciously detect vampires and their activities. All non-vampire Sims without the [[Brave]], [[Daredevil]] or [[Evil]] trait near a vampire they do not know will receive a "Hunted" moodlet<ref name="gamesradar preview2" /> that takes away -10 Mood. If a Sim who is both a celebrity and a vampire bites someone in public, the Paparazzi will start a scandal about the bite, and the Vampire Celebrity will get the 'Publicly Disgraced' moodlet for the next 3 days. Vampires with the moodlet can go to City Hall and sue to have it removed (which is not always successful), or can pay off the Paparazzi for §3000. Public disgrace can be avoided if the Sim is invited into the vampire's home and is bitten there discreetly. Vampire celebrities will be publicly disgraced if they [[WooHoo]] with a mortal, either in public or on the home lot; Mortal Sims who WooHoo with vampires will become publicly disgraced for "WooHooing with an Occult."
Drinking from a Sim gives the Sim a positive +20 "Weakened" moodlet which lasts for 12 hours, during which
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.

==Becoming a Vampire==
Line 62 ⟶ 67:
Special abilities of vampires include an extended [[lifespan]]. When vampires become young adults, their aging becomes abnormal. All young adult vampires and older 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.

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.

In addition to faster skill gain at night, vampires can see in the dark and won't get the "It's Dark" moodlet. Furthermore, vampires visiting a graveyard at night won't receive the 'Creepy Graveyard' moodlet.
▲Vampires can learn skills faster, but only at night. If a Vampire gets the Speedy Learner [[Lifetime reward]], however, it does not make this accelerated skill gain any faster during night time, it only aids during the day. The learning rate increase also varies. Vampires who have just turned may learn almost at the same speed as a normal Sim, while unknown parameters can cause a vampire to master a skill in as short as under 3 hours; this may occur to a child of 2 vampire parents. The variation does not affect Cooking or Handiness skills. Skill books are not affected by this power and the progress is no faster than a normal Sim. However, being tutored in a skill or using a skill item like the guitar will result in accelerated learning.<ref name="sims3nieuws">[http://www.sims3nieuws.nl/previews/the-sims-3-late-night-preview/ Sims3nieuws - Late Night preview]</ref>
==Vampire Weaknesses==
First and foremost, a vampire's weakness is thirst. If the vampire goes without Plasma for too long, they will receive the "Thirsty" moodlet. After the "Thirsty" moodlet comes the "Very Thirsty" moodlet, and finally the "Madly Thirsty" moodlet. If the "Madly Thirsty" moodlet ticks down to 0, a haunting chord will play in the background, the vampire will clutch at their throat, and eventually disintegrate into ash. The ghost will then appear black with a red pulsating light where the heart would be, and the [[Grim Reaper]] will appear as usual to collect them. The Sim will still be a vampire.
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 and vampire ghosts can use the Hypnotic Gaze on other Sims. Both the vampire and the victim's eyes will turn green, and the victim's skin will slowly turn white. However, the interaction can fail, resulting in the original vampire gaining the "Dazed" moodlet.

▲*Most pre-made vampires tend to prefer Black over other colors, this eludes to them having more Goth preferences, though there are some exceptions, like [[Morrigan Hemlock]]'s favorite color is turquoise. Most also have the Evil trait (with [[William Fangmann]] and [[Wogan Hemlock]] being two pre-made exceptions) which stereotypes their personality for 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]].

*Genies cannot be turned into vampires or drank from, as they lack plasma.
