While not included in the [[The Sims 3|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. Before the ''Late Night'' expansion was released, using [[CAS]], players could create a Sim with a pale skin, red eyes, and (with Custom Content) protruding teeth, for a vampire-looking Sim.
==The Sims 3: Late Night==
[[File:Late night trailer snapshot 06.jpg|200px|thumb|A vampire]]
Vampires are social creatures of the night. They are inspired by the more popular interpretation of vampires of the late 90s and 2000s as opposed to 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 certain powers which sets them aside from normal Sims, but they also have certain disadvantages. Vampires are not immortal, unlike ''The Sims 2'', though they tend to live longer than normal Sims (about 100 days for a young adult on the normal setting, also taking more than 1000 days to switch from Young Adult to Adult and from Adult to Elder in Epic, making it possible for an Young Adult/Adult Vampire to outlive a child born in the same day he was turned without even switching life stages.)<ref name="urbania-sims">[http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=da&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Furbania-sims.com%2Finfosims%2Fnews%2F Urbania-Sims - Late Night: Press Presentation in Paris](French, translated by Google)</ref>
Their appearance is comprised of a paler, slightly glowing, layer over their normal skin tone (there is no set vampire skin tone), fangs and glowing eyes. They also have a small tribal, v-looking tattoo on their necks.<ref name="gamesradar preview2" />.
[[File:Late night vampire feeding from wrist.jpg|thumb|200px|A vampire feeding from the wrist of a Sim.]]
A vampire's [[hunger]] motive is replaced with thirst and all of their motives are given a purple hue. Thirst works in the same way as hunger, but can only be filled by eating Plasma, the Sim-equivalent of blood. Plasma comes from feeding on Sims, the Plasma Fruit or Plasma packs<ref name="gamesradar us" />. In order to feed from a Sim, the vampire must ask permission and generally have good relations with the Sim<ref name="twitter">[[The Sims 3: Late Night/twitter]]</ref>. A desperate vampire can even go to the local [[Hospital]] or nearest shopping center and choose to raid and receive Plasma but should watch out as they might get caught<ref name="sims3nieuws" />. [[Vegetarian]] vampires are limited to the Plasma Fruit<ref name="sims3nieuws" />.
To feed from other Sims, the vampire needs to ask permission. A high relationship score helps. Other Sims reply with funny messages<ref name="urbania-sims" />. Feeding off of a random Sim or eating a Plasma Fruit at least very nice quality gives the vampire a +15 Moodlet, while feeding off of a Sim who is the vampire's prey or eating a perfect Plasma Fruit gives a +50 Moodlet.
[[File:Late_night_vampire_sleeping.jpg|thumb|200px|A vampire sleeping.]]
All other [[Motive]]s function like they do for normal Sims. Vampires also still need to sleep (which they prefer doing during the day). Unlike vampires in ''[[Nightlife]]'', the ''Late Night'' vampires do not necessarily sleep in coffins, but a vampire bed is available which is called a vampire altar (see above)<ref name="twitter" />.They cost 2,500 Simoleons, but vampires can sleep on public ones such as those in the basement of Plasma 501. Vampires can also sleep in normal beds and when doing so, the letter 'V' will appear instead of the normal 'Z'. If the bed is of sufficient quality, the vampire will also receive the "Slept Like the Dead" [[moodlet]].
All non-vampire Sims without the [[Brave]] or [[Evil]] traits who are near a vampire they do not know will suffer from a "Hunted" moodlet<ref name="gamesradar preview2" /> that takes away -10 Mood. Sims who are vampires get a moodlet at night that gives them +15 Mood and accelerated skill building.
Sims can become vampires by befriending with a vampire and then asking them to make them a vampire<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. It will take two to three days until a Sim becomes a vampire<ref name="simcookie">[http://www.simcookie.com/dossiers-sims/preview-the-sims-3-late-nigth/ SimCookie - Preview : The Sims 3 Late Nigth]</ref>.
Vampires are mostly found at [[The Plasma 501]] <ref name="gamespot preview" />, the vampire [[bar]] which is located in a huge skyscraper, right in the heart of the city of Bridgeport. Sims can come in too but they need to bribe their way in, unless they have the celebrity status of at least 2<ref name="sims3nieuws" />. Vampire can also be attracted to other towns if a vampire lounge is placed with the "Vampire Lounge" lot type.
When a Sim is bitten after the interaction "Ask to Turn" or "Offer to Turn," the Sim will receive the "Unusual Blemish" moodlet. After about 3 days the Sim will be engulfed in a spiraling cloud of red mist and bats.
If a Sim who is both a celebrity and a vampire bites someone in public, the Paparazzi will find out and start a scandal about the bite. The Vampire Celebrity will get the 'Publicly Disgraced' moodlet and will have to either go to City Hall and sue to get rid of the moodlet, which is not always successful and could end up making the Sim lose money from legal fees, or to buy off the Paparazzi for 3,000 Simoleons. This can be avoided if the Sim is invited in the Household's home and bites a Sim there.
If a vampire wishes to become a normal Sim again, they can go to the [[science lab]], which provides an anti-vampirism potion, it costs 3,000 Simoleons.<ref name="sims3nieuws" />
==Vampire Children==
Unlike vampirism in ''Nightlife'', vampirism in ''Late Night'' is genetic, and will be inherited at a 100% rate for vampire couples, and a 50% for Vampire-Sim couples.
These children are vampires from birth and can not be cured until they are young adults. They age at a normal rate until they transition into young adults. Their appearance is that of a young adult vampire, their skin is pale and their eyes glow like that of a full grown vampire.
When they become toddlers, they will learn from toddler toys at a higher rate, but learn talking, walking, and potty training at the regular rate. They will also bite their teddy bears and Imaginary Friend dolls while they play with them.
When they become children, they have the enhanced skill gain, but no other vampire powers. They also eat normal food, can eat garlic, and can spend days outside. They can eat plasma-packs from the fridge at this age as well. They keep this power-set through the teen life-state, and obtain the rest of their powers at the young adult stage. Teen vampires also gain the ability to use the vampire altar.
When a teenager of vampiric parentage grows up into a young adult, the cloud of stars is red instead of multi-coloured.

[[File:Vampire hunting.JPG|thumb|200px|Vampire Hunting]]
*'''Enhanced [[motives]] '''<ref name="gamespot handson" />
*'''Hunt''' - Gives Sims a thermal aura around them<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.
*'''Make Sim think of you''' - Makes a target Sim think of the vampire<ref name="ign preview" />, which makes them like him/her more<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.
*'''Read mind''' - Reveals a [[Trait|trait]] of target Sim,<ref name="ign preview" /><ref name="gamespot handson" /> their career, [[zodiac sign|star sign]], relationship status, or [[favorite]]s<ref name="urbania-sims" />. This is also greyed out for a certain amount of time after use.
[[File:Vampire chasing a sim.jpg|thumb|200px|A Sim being chased by a Vampire.]]
*'''Super speed and endurance''' - Can dash from one point to another in few seconds with little effort<ref name="gamespot preview">[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/thesims3latenightexpansionpack/news.html?sid=6273541&part=rss&tag=gs_pc&subj=6273541&mode=previews GameSpot - The Sims 3 Late Night Expansion Pack Impressions]</ref>. Vampires move at "Speed 5"<ref name="urbania-sims" />''', '''at this speed a motion blur can be seen around the Vampire.
*'''Super strength''' - While working out, vampires will not get fatigued and can break space rocks with ease but they still have to meet certain skill requirements.
*'''Learn [[skills]] faster''' - 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 no faster than 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 it seems. 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 or easel 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==
*[[Thirst (vampire)|'''Thirst''']] - Instead of hunger<ref name="gamesradar us" />. If the Madly Thirsty moodlet ticks down to 0, a haunting chord will play in the background, the vampire will hold their throat and eventually disintegrate into ash. Then the ghost appears black with a red pulsating light where the heart would be, and the [[Grim Reaper]] appears normally. The Sim will still be a vampire.
*[[Sunlight|'''Sunlight''']] - Vampires can go out in the sunlight for a certain amount of time before getting the "Heating Up" moodlet, it will last for 3 hours, then the vampire passes out, then it changes to the "Too Much Sun" Moodlet. At this time, the Vampire may not hunt, read the mind or override the emotions of other Sims and the Sim's Thirst will decrease at a faster rate, forcing more plasma consumption until the "Too Much Sun" moodlet wears off or the vampire also has a "Sanguine Snack" moodlet. This moodlet will last two days and the timer will pause every time the vampire is outside during the day. While in the sun, a sizzling sound is heard and the vampire smokes, and the Sim will become tense and swipe and blow their arms ferociously in response to the pain. The "Too Much Sun" moodlet can be removed prematurely by use of the Moodlet Manager or a spa package from a day spa rabbit hole.<ref name="gamesradar preview2" /><ref name="sims3nieuws" />
*'''Garlic''' - 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 and will cause them to pass out [http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/45/278851.page].

==Trivia==
Line 193 ⟶ 126:
*Vampires age up 5 times slower than normal Sims (like if a normal Sim ages up in 20 days, a vampire Sim ages up in 100 days). However if the vampire is younger than Young-Adult, they will age up like a normal Sim until they become a Young-Adult.
*Genies cannot be turned or drank from as they lack plasma.
*A vampire cannot hunt or bite another vampire.
