Immortality comes in handy here, because you’re going to have to survive for a long time if you want to reach master vampire status. The gameplay is quite a different experience as you spend your time becoming a more and more powerful vampire. It’s like The Sims meets Mass Effect or World of Warcraft. There is a deep talent tree available to you as you level up your vampire from fledgling to master. So what do you do with all this vampire energy? You play with your vampire powers! Turn into a bat, read a Sim’s mind, or just last longer in the sunshine… You have a ton of vampire abilities available to you to explore.Īnd this is where the Vampires expansion pack really surprised me. Not a good way to foster good relations with the mortal folk if anyone else is in the area. Take a big greedy drink, and you’ll leave the Sim lying weakly on the floor or stumbling around afterwards. Your vampire will use their powers to hypnotize the Sim and then indulge. But if you don’t have any friends or don’t care about the feelings of mere mortals, just take it. If you’re friends with a Sim, you can ask nicely and they’ll let you take a much needed sip. When it comes to feeding on other Sims, there are three ways to do this: asking nicely, taking a quick drink, or going savage on them. You can quench your thirst from blood packs, a special plasma fruit, or the traditional method of draining humans.

So every day, you’re going to get thirsty and you’re going to need some blood.

Instead of eating, you now have a thirst needs bar.
