Powers and Weaknesses
Powers
Vampires can choose certain powers as they gain more experience and become stronger. There are a total of 25 powers, divided evenly (5 per each Vampire Rank), with several powers having their own tiers (up to a maximum of 3).
Power Points are used to unlock Vampire powers. Vampire Rank 1 powers cost 2 Power Points each, and with each Vampire Rank that cost increases by 1, with Vampire Rank 5 powers costing 6 Power Points each.

Use less Vampire Energy! Tier 1(Sim Name) is beginning to study his/her Vampiric Energy and the many ways it can be used. He/She can expend less energy for the same effect. Further study will reduce Vampire Energy costs even more... Tier 2 Through study and practice (Sim Name) has reduced the amount of Vampiric Energy needed to fuel his/her powers. Continued study will yield even greater efficiency... Tier 3 ??? |

Weaknesses
At the expense of becoming a more powerful vampire, the vampire must develop a weakness. There are a total of 11 weaknesses, divided unevenly amongst the Vampire Ranks. Some weaknesses have their own tiers (up to a maximum of 3), and some conflict with certain powers, barring you from being able to choose them.
| Vampire Rank | Icon | Weakness | Description | Tiers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rank 1 |
|
Withered Stomach | (Sim Name) vomits when eating human food.
Putting on the appearance of a normal Sim will be less practical, as (Sim Name) will become nauseous and vomit from eating normal food. What's more important? The ruse, or his/her digestion? |

Trivia
- Almost all vampiric abilities can be unlocked for a single sim (except those that conflict with others), as your Sim will continue gaining Power Points even after they have reached the maximum Vampire Rank.[1]
