This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 3: Late Night.

While not included in the base game, vampires are included in The Sims 3: Late Night expansion pack as well as a theme pack for 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.

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. They have certain powers which sets them aside from normal Sims, but they also have certain disadvantages. Vampires are not immortal, though they tend to live longer than normal Sims (about 100 days longer for an young adult on the normal setting)

Their appearance is comprised of a paler, slightly glowing, layer over their normal skin tone (no set vampire skin tone), fangs and glowing eyes. They also have the bite mark on their necks. .

A vampire's hunger motive is replaced with thirst. It works in the same way, 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. In order to feed from a Sim, the vampire must ask permission and generally have good relations with the Sim. 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. Vegetarian vampires are limited to the Plasma Fruit.

To feed from other Sims, the vampire needs to ask permission. A high relationship score helps. Other Sims reply with funny messages. Feeding off of a random Sim gives the vampire a +15 Moodlet, while feeding off of a Sim who is the vampire's prey gives a +50 Moodlet.

All other Motives 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. A new bed is available which reportedly is "Quite haunting"They are 2,500 Simoleons but you can sleep on public ones like in the basment of Plasma 501 .

Sims near a vampire they do not know will suffer from a "Hunted" moodlet. Vampires get a moodlet at night that gives them +15 Mood and accelerated skill building.

Sims can become vampires by having a high relationship score with a vampire and then ask them to make them a vampire. It will take three days from a bite till a Sim becomes a vampire.

Finding a vampire isn't too hard, but it is easier to find them at The Plasma 501 , the vampire bar which is located in a huge skyscraper, right in the heart of the town. Sims can come in too but they need to bribe their way in unless they have the celebrity status of 2

If a vampire wishes to become a normal Sim again, they can go to the science lab, which has an anti-vampirism potion, however it costs 3000 Simoleons.

The vampires bite in different places, on the the wrist of a friend and on the neck of a lover.

Vampires can't drink Plasma from children, ghosts, mummies, pregnant Sims or SimBots.[1]

There is a one out of four chance a sim will be turned into a vampire on the first bite, and a 50/50 chance on a second bite.[2] It takes about a two days to become a vampire after the bite. There is a moodlet for the bite.Vampire bite marks are visible on a Sim's skin for several days.

Plasma boost all Vampires motives except for Bladder.[3]

If a sim is a celebrity and a vampire, when they bite someone in public the Paparazzi will find out and start a scandal about the bite. The Vampire Celebrity will get a new negative moodlet and will have to go to City Hall and sue to get rid of the moodlet.

Drinking from a Sim will not turn them into a vampire, only if they accept "offer to turn" will it turn them into a vampire. Simbots and Mummies can not be Vampire hybrids.^{[confirmation needed]}

If a vampire sleeps in the Cursed Sarcophagus of the Kings 3 times it will replace one of the vampire's traits with the Evil trait.

Vampire Children

Vampirism is genetic, and will be inherited at a 100% rate for vampire couples, and a 50% for Vamp-Sim couples.

These children are vampires from birth and can not be cured untill they are young adults, they age at a normal rate untill they get to young adult status.

When they become toddlers they will learn from toddler toys at a higher rate, but they learn at the regular rate for talking, walking, and potty training. They will also bite their teddy bears while they play with them.

When they become kids 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 teenage life-state and obtain the rest of their powers at young adult stage.

Vampire Powers

• Enhanced motives
• Hunt - Gives Sims a thermal aura around them which reveals which Sim has the best plasma. This also gives them a tag in the map view.

  

  Vampire Hunting

• Make Sim think of you - Makes a target Sim think of the vampire, which makes them like him/her more

• Read mind - Reveals all traits of target Sim as well as their career, star sign, relationship status and favorites.

• Super speed and endurance - Can dash from one point to another in few seconds with little effort. Vampires move at "Speed 5", at this speed a motion blur can be seen around the Vampire.

• Learn skills faster - Vampires can learn skills faster, but only at night

• Persuade - Vampires can persuade other Sims to perform certain tasks

Vampire Weaknesses

• Thirst - Instead of hunger. 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.
• 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 change to the "Burning Up" moodlet, this moodlet will last two days and will remain if continues to go outside. While in the sun, a sizzling sound is heard and the vampire smokes.
• Garlic -It can make the vampire sick. Eating garlic or drinks with garlic will give a Vampire the Garlic Breath moodlet and will cause them to pass out[4].
• Sim Food - Vampires can eat Sim food, but it will not satisfy their Thirst moodlet.[5] Eating normal food will cause a Vampire to become nauseous.
