Vampirism

Vampirism is introduced in The Sims 2 Nightlife expansion pack. With this expansion pack, you will have a new neighborhood called “Downtown”, where you can find many community lots such as bars and night clubs.

When you take your Sim to a night club at night, there is a great chance of finding a “Grand Vampire” there. Grand vampires are non-playable premade vampire Sims lurking in downtown lots. Their names usually start with Count or Countess based on their gender. They are easy to notice with their blueish pale skin colour and their medieval outfits. When your Sim interacts with a grand vampire and becomes friends with him/her, the grand vampire will bite your Sim and then will start biting all the other Sims on the lot. The only way to stop this is to leave the lot after your Sim gets bitten.

There is no chance of dying after being bitten. Bites only cause Sims to turn into vampires. When Sims become vampires, they will have sharp fangs, red eyes and the same skin colour as the grand vampires. Their everyday outfit will change to medieval style. Newly-bitten vampire Sims can bite other Sims and turn them into vampires as well. However, biting interaction requires a good relationship between Sims.

Why would your Sim want to become a vampire?

• ·        Vampire Sims can turn into bats and fly around.
• ·       They can use the interaction called Bleh! to lower the bladder need of other Sims.
• ·       Teenage vampires can get the undead scholarship to use towards college.
• ·       The needs of vampire Sims don’t drop during night time.
• ·       Vampire Sims are immortal and they never grow old. Only teen vampires become young adults and then adults, but after that they stop getting older. Vampire Sims can only die with exposure to sunlight.

Some other features of vampires:

·       Vampire Sims don’t have reflections in the mirror. When they use a mirror, their comfort needs drop.

·       Sometimes, when a Vampire Sim is doing nothing, he/she can bite a Sim in the family or a Sim that he/she has a good relationship with.

·       Vampirism is not genetic. Vampire Sims can reproduce and they have normal babies.

·       Other Sims can call vampires on the phone after 2 am, but they cannot be called between 7 am and 6 pm because it is their sleeping time.

To cure vampirism, your Sim needs to call the Gypsy Matchmaker on the phone and buy and drink Vamprocilin-D potion. This potion can also be made by witches (I will talk about them later). After Sims are cured, they can go on living as normal Sims, but they will no longer have the advantages of vampirism.
