Vampires Rank & Perk System Guide – The Sims 4

This skill tree comes from the Vampires Game Pack. Instead of traditional skills, Vampires progress through a rank and perk system. By training, duelling, or using powers, they gain Vampire XP, which increases rank and unlocks perk points. These points can be spent on abilities that shape how your Vampire lives and plays.

Vampire Perks

Perks are divided into Powers (benefits) and Weaknesses (drawbacks). As your Vampire grows, you must balance the two.

Powers (Choose Benefits)

  • Immortal Pleasures – Vampires no longer need to eat or sleep.
  • Occult Student – Learn Vampire Lore faster.
  • Bat Form – Instantly travel by transforming into a bat.
  • Supernatural Speed – Move quickly across lots.
  • Mesmerise – Hypnotise Sims to drink from them.
  • Command – Order Sims to clean, repair, or move away.
  • Detect Personality – Instantly learn traits of other Sims.
  • Vampiric Strength – Win duels and fights more easily.
  • Sun Resistance – Reduces or eliminates damage from sunlight.

Weaknesses (Choose Drawbacks)

  • Withered Stomach – Vomit when eating human food.
  • Guilty Drinker – Feel guilty after drinking from Sims.
  • Thin Skinned – Take more damage from sunlight.
  • Uncontrollable Hissing – Randomly hiss at Sims, lowering relationships.
  • Sloppy Drinker – Leave Sims exhausted after feeding, damaging friendships.

Progression Tips

  • Sparring with other Vampires gives big XP boosts.
  • Study Vampire Lore to unlock new abilities faster.
  • Balance perks with weaknesses — a Grand Master Vampire must take several drawbacks.
  • Use Plasma Fruit or Plasma Packs to avoid upsetting Sims when feeding.
