Vampire Guide – The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack

If your Sims are ready to embrace the darkness and live forever, the Vampires Game Pack introduces one of the most iconic occult life states in The Sims 4. Vampires are powerful, complex, and beautifully gothic. This guide covers everything you need to know from becoming a vampire to unlocking their supernatural powers and surviving the sunlight.


How to Become a Vampire

There are three main ways for your Sims to become vampires:

MethodHow it Works
Create-a-SimYou can make a Vampire directly in CAS using the “Add Occult Sim” option. Customise their Dark Form separately with fangs, glowing eyes, and veins.
Ask to TurnBefriend an existing Vampire (such as Vladislaus Straud in Forgotten Hollow) and ask them to turn you. Your Sim will be bitten, gain the “Strangely Hungry” moodlet, and fully transform after about 36 hours.
Vampire BabiesOffspring of Vampires can inherit vampirism, but it activates only when they become Teens.

Vampire Needs and Energy

NeedDescription
ThirstReplaces Hunger. Feed on Sims, drink Plasma Packs, or eat Plasma Fruit to survive.
Vampiric EnergyReplaces normal Energy. Used for powers, duels, and sunlight resistance. Can be restored with Dark Meditation or sleeping in a coffin.
No BladderVampires no longer need to use the bathroom.

Feeding Options

SourceNotes
Other SimsFeed by asking politely or compelling them. A deep drink can cause Sims to faint but gives stronger Thirst relief.
Plasma FruitCan be grown or harvested around Forgotten Hollow. Used in cooking Plasma Salads and baked goods.
Plasma PacksBuy from a computer (Vampire Lore Level 3) or craft from fish and frogs (Vampire Lore Level 4).
