8 Things You Didn't Know About Vampires In The Sims 4

The eight things you didn't know include that vampires don't have a reflection in the mirror, they can be used to kill other sims with the influence emotion power, they can easily overcome their weakness to light and they can use coffins to hibernate indefinitely, freezing their needs as their vampiric energy restores.

Vampires who drink from a possessed sim (from The Sims 4 Strangerville game pack) will temporarily become possessed themselves, and vampires can be a dual occult sim, as a hybrid with ghosts. The final two features relate to warding off vampires, and it's that vampires can be repelled with garlic and the vampire resistance cocktail, and more interestingly, if a human sim despises a vampire and has an ultimate vampire cure cocktail in their inventory, then they can 'slay' a vampire for a chance to return them back into their human form.

I wish Forgotten Hallow was bigger and had more vampires. The whole "Use this method to detect and protect against vampires!" thing is pointless when there are only three vampires in the entire game and they're super obvious and the town is so small it's boring.

Just another cute little thing
If two vampires try for baby as bat and one got pregnant, their child will have bat form unlocked without needing to spend ability points on it.

With seasons vampires are immune to freezing temperatures

When vampires get very angry they will uncontrollably drink from a nearby sim and you can't cancel that action. My teenage vampire had a mood swing and started drinking from the butler lol.

If a vampire's house gets haunted, they get annoyed instead of scared! Something about how they're dead too but you don't see them breaking into people's homes or something like that. I found it funny when it happened to mine

If you gain skill level 7 on organ. You can play haunting music that makes near by sims clean for you.

Also if you read all books and finally get to the ultimate book for vampire you can read it over and over again to get skill points so you can have all skills in vampire skillline

not me giving my vampire max sun sensitivity because i didn’t want any of the other weaknesses 😂 he’s charming, can sleep in a bed, control emotions. but 2 seconds in the sun and he is done for 😂

Vampires learn pipe organ skill 10% faster and they feel inspired when someone plays near them

This video made me realise I play with vampires too much 😅

One other point that I'm not sure is too widely known (I found out quite late) is just how many deaths vampires are immune to. I mean, it makes sense, but they didn't have as many immunities in previous Sims games so I wasn't expecting it in TS4; they're almost godlike.

Another thing that seems to be either an Easter egg or a bug is that Vlad gives a disproportionate amount of vampire XP if you beat him in a duel (with poor relationship, friendly sparring doesn't have the same effect). If you get a bit lucky and then invest points into Vampiric Strength, you can easily go from a fledgling vampire to Grand Master in a single night just by kicking his ass over and over.

quick other thing! if a vampire drinks a spellcaster's blood, they will have increased skill gain for around 3-4 hours! its super useful if you pair it with lot traits like natural lighting or homey to get those really useful skills up

[queenofanon]

Here’s some more I found in my game: Vampires hate werewolf blood, they love other occult blood, vampires and werewolves can do “supernatural slam” if they hate each other, vampires get tense in Moonwood, they throw up if they eat plasma salad with weak stomach, animals usually growl or hiss when vampires“introduce” themselves, you can make plasma juice with Eco pack

[flavinhaak]

Also, with seasons, vampires can easily resist to sunlight by using umbrellas

[lawrencefosterjenkins]

best part about no reflections is if you have cats & dogs and the vampires pick up a small or young pet in front of a mirror, you just see a floating animal. i think i have a saved screenshot of a floating corgi because i found this so funny.

also i learned about strangerville residents' BTPs (Blood-Transmitted Possession) the hard way when my teen vampire sim came home from school enraged and drank uncontrollably from ted roswell as a result. nothing i could do to cancel the action. had to do the aspiration to cure it.

Also, vampires with sun resistance perk can`t tan. At all. Tried this and got a pop-up telling me that "the skin of this sim is strangely unable to be affected by a sun" (or something along the lines) )))

[AutumnFrore]

The death one though oh my gosh I had no idea they could make other sims die of anger 😂 LOVE these sneaky things that you always catch

[darthgrotbags]

The Sun Protector facemask with the Spa pack update will also make vampires immune to sunlight for 10 or 12 hours, can't remember which

[merlinofavalon]

I've had the vampires expansion for some time, and I knew most of these, however the Strangerville possession and the ability to kill with Influence Emotions were things I didn't know, thanks! Is it just anger and embarassment +8 that can kill, or do other emotions too, like Sadness?

[a.b.]

They are also immune to a bunch of other deaths like drowning, steam, pufferfish, freezing, overheating (there might be more).

there is a cocktail you can make too that resets your perk points and allows you to keep your vampire rank (So you stay max rank if your max rank like my character) i found it usefull to re-do this so i can cheat the perk tree lol and have only 2 weaknesses not 4 or 6 it makes you have. so i can have more possitives then negatives.
