Grabbing up to 160,000 views through its first day on the official channel, the announcement of vampires finally arriving within The Sims 4 seems to have gained the expected attention.
Originally added through one of the early expansions to The Sims 2, vampires have since become a staple of the franchise. Though The Sims as a whole has benefited from other supernatural beings like werewolves, aliens and plant-people, vampires tend to have the highest regard across the fanbase - likely due to their continued focus in other pop-culture corners.
Being re-introduced into The Sims 4 through <a href=""https://www.thesims.com/news/sims-4-vampires-announce>a smaller 'Game Pack' on January 24</a>, vampire Sims will become available through the standard Create-A-Sim tool with current blood-sucking beasts able to spread the affliction through their supernatural powers. Focusing their time on topping up their 'Plasma' levels, vampires within The Sims 4 can make use of the vitals of both other Sims and specific fruits before retiring to their coffin cots.

Bursting into flames at the first sight of sunlight, you might want to bring up your vampire friends in the Forgotten Hallow - a new World included with the upcoming game pack. Furthermore, while vampires can re-produce, it won't be clear whether a child Sim has inherited the curse until they've reached puberty; by which time they'll earn access to their powers and cease ageing.
Dodging the need to be a full-blown expansion, The Sims 4: Vampires Game Pack is likely a welcome change to the full-price additions. Though players will likely want a wide selection of supernatural beings, game packs might allow players to be a little more selective of their paid-for features in the future.
