There is a statue of Vlad in the town center. The Sims in town think the statue is of his Great Grandfather, Vladislaus Straud the First, but the local [[vampire]]s know the truth; Vlad founded [[Forgotten Hollow]] and he still runs it. According to his painting that is found inside Straud Mansion, Vlad was the sole survivor of a settling party of 25 Sims that disappeared. He was impacted so deeply that he never explained what happened to them, but founded the town on their last known location in their memory. By sunset, Vlad starts his daily routine which includes playing some haunting melodies on the [[pipe organ]] and taking a walk through the [[cemetery]] of his estate. When the sun starts coming up, Vlad spends some time in dark meditation to re-energize himself and reading through the Encyclopedia Vampirica, most of which is about him, before he descends into his crypt.▼ ▲By sunset, Vlad starts his daily routine which includes playing some haunting melodies on the [[pipe organ]] and taking a walk through the [[cemetery]] of his estate.

Vlad dislikes his neighbours, the Vatore siblings, [[Caleb Vatore\|Caleb]] and [[Lilith Vatore\|Lilith]], as they believe in alternatives options to the traditional drinking of Sims's [[plasma]]. They will also object to Vlad's wardrobe choices, personal hygiene, and showing his dark form in public. Vlad owns a hundred grey coats as he believes they go with everything and always stay in style. At high moon, Vlad and Caleb once had a duel which Vlad won.▼ ▲Vlad dislikes his ~~neighbours~~neighbors, the [[Vatore family\|Vatore]] siblings, [[Caleb Vatore\|Caleb]] and [[Lilith Vatore\|Lilith]], as they believe in alternatives options to the traditional drinking of Sims's [[plasma]].

Vlad owns a hundred grey coats as he believes they go with everything and always stay in style. At high moon, Vlad and Caleb once had a duel which Vlad won; because of this, many Sims strongly dislike him. With the exception of Renegades club- they attempted to recruit him thanks to him having the Evil trait, although [[Morgan Fyres]] doesn't seem happy about this. ~~Vlad has a painting called "Count Vladislaus Straud I", available in [[build mode]] for §2890.~~ An official blog for ''[[The Sims 4: Seasons]]'' reveals that Vlad has a cousin named [[Arthur Climate]]. The [[Climate family\|Climates]] reluctantly invite Vlad over for a [[holiday\|Harvestfest]] gathering, unaware that he is a vampire.<ref name="Climates blog part 1">[https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/news/the-climates-part-1 Meet The Climates (Part 1)]</ref> ~~==Appearance==~~ As a [[vampire~~]] Vladislaus~~ Vlad has a human appearance as well as a dark form. Apart from the size of the ears and eyes, his facial features are the same in both versions. However, Vlad looks drastically different in his ~~vampiric~~vampire form due to not having any hair, including facial hair. His skin possesses visible facial lines as a vampire. Additionally, he has protruding fangs and radiating eyes. ~~<gallery>~~ Vladislaus Straud.png\|Vlad in promotional trailers▼ According to a teaser for ''Vampires'', Vlad turned [[Miss Hell]] into a vampire, who then turned Caleb Vatore.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oe6z6ShQwE The Sims 4: Vampires Teaser Clip]</ref> Vlad also turned Caleb's sister, Lilith Vatore.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qx2qMYhgp8 The Sims 4 Vampires: Official Vampire Powers Gameplay Trailer]</ref> VladislausRender.png\|Vladislaus as seen in promotional material▼ ~~</gallery>~~ ==Skills== {{SkillTable3 \|charisma = 8 \|pipe organ = 10 \|vampire lore = 1510}} ▲}} ==Trivia== * Vladislaus Straud's Sim design highly resembles Count Dracula played by John Carradine in the film ''House of Dracula'' (1945). He also could be a homage to the legendary and iconic classic Horror film actor Vincent Price as his Sim design also resembles him. Vladislaus Straud's Dark Form design highly resembles [[wikipedia:Count Orlok\|Count Orlok]] from the film ''[[wikipedia:Nosferatu\|Nosferatu]]''. * "Vladislaus" is Latin version of Slavic name (Polish "Władysław", Czech, ~~and~~Slovak and Russian "Vladislav" etc.). * "Straud" may be a play on 'Strahd' von Zarovich, the vampiric antagonist of Dungeon and Dragon's Ravenloft setting.▼ "Vladislaus" could be a reference to Vlad the Impaler, who signed letters as "[[wikipedia:File:Wladislaus Dragwlya.JPG\|Vladislaus Dragulya]]". ▲ "Straud" may be a play on 'Strahd' von Zarovich, the vampiric antagonist of ~~Dungeon~~Dungeons and ~~Dragon~~Dragons's Ravenloft setting. The name Vladislaus may be a reference to the generations of Ladislaus' from the Báthory family (Ancestors of [[wikipedia:Elizabeth Báthory\|Elizabeth Báthory]]) who also had a branch named [[wikipedia:Báthory family#Báthory of Simolin\|Báthory of Simolin]]. One of the [[gig]]s in ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]'' is for a company called Vladislaus Hardware. It claims to be founded by Vladislaus III, a master carpenter specializing in luxurious coffins. ==Gallery== <gallery widths="185"> ~~TS4_vlad~~TS4 vlad.jpg\|Vlad rising from a coffin TS4 Vampires img 3.jpg\|Vlad reacting to the sunlight Vlad playing organ.jpg\|Vlad playing with the organ Bg4mu2f (1).png\|Vlad using his Vampire mind control powers. ▲Vladislaus Straud.png\|Vlad in promotional trailers ▲VladislausRender.png\|Vladislaus as seen in ~~promotional~~a ~~material~~render Miss Hell human.png\|Vlad about to transform [[Miss Hell]] into one of his minions.
