Vampire (The Sims 3): Difference between revisions

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. Starting at the Young Adult life stage, Vampires have a [[lifespan]] five times longer than Sims. Vampires are not immortal, unlike ''The Sims 2'', though they tend to live longer than normal Sims; (aboutif 100they dayshave formortal achildren youngbefore adultturning oninto the normal settingvampires, alsothe takingvampire morecan thanactually 1000outlive daystheir toown switch from Young Adult to Adultchildren and fromwatch Adultthem todie Elderof inold 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 stagesage.)<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> Starting at the Young Adult life stage, Vampires have a [[lifespan]] five times longer than other sims.

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 bite mark on their necks, (but thisit canis benow possible to have it removed) if it is considered unsightly for the player.<ref name="gamesradar preview2" />.

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, as human Sims are considered meat.<ref name="sims3nieuws" />.

All other [[Motive]]s function like they do for normal Sims. Vampires also still need to sleep, (which they preferwould doinglikely duringdo in 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]].

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 discreetly.
