5 Features we’re hoping to see in The Sims 4 Vampire Game Pack

It’s pretty obvious that a Vampire-themed Game Pack is coming early next year after the recent leaks. I mean, the fact that so many assets and animations have already leaked only means The Sims Team is finished with development. Until we get an official announcement, here are 5 things we’re hoping to see in The Sims 4’s Vampire Game Pack!

1) Bats

Just how cool would it be if we could have our vampire sims turn into bats?! The Sims 2 Nightlife executed this pretty well, although you could only turn into a bat when you want to fly to a certain location on a lot.

2) Coffins

Why sleep in a bed when you can fully enjoy the benefits of being a vampire by sleeping in a coffin? Plus, The Sims 2 Nightlife really did a great job with adding spooky music and fog before and after you send your vampires to sleep. Not to mention the cool torches that are lit during a vampire’s sleep!

3) Switch between traditional and modern-age vampires

Some like to play it old school and some just want to see their vampire sims sparkle. Having an option to choose between a traditional and modern-age vampire would satisfy both crowds!

4) Hunting

Hunting and stalking for a prey with the best plasma (The Sims term for blood) to satisfy your vampire’s thirst is probably the best reason why I’d switch my Sims in The Sims 4 from regular people to vampires. Why cook or order dinner when you can go around and search the dinner in parks and venues?

5) Vampire-themed World

If there’s anything The Sims 4 excels at, it’s the visuals of each world. This game really deserves a scary world with actual creepy forests and old rusty hideouts.

The leaked code we found in game files suggests that we’ll be getting a new world. We’ll just have to wait and see if it’s spooky enough!

Has this even been confirmed? Where is this coming from?

Rees

These are just things people might want in the game, not actual information on whats going to be in the pack.

Lieselotte Sanchez

And I repeat: Where is this coming from? When was this pack confirmed?

JackSawyerIsTheBest

The ‘infos’ (animation, icons, xml lines) were found inserted in the game files itself. meaning those were added by EA via patches. That happened a lot with previous Sims games. Sometimes even items were abandoned/never used and some modders could dig them out and repair them to make them functional (Sims 2’s long list of ‘Lost and Found’ stuff). A lot of stuff got hinted in the files too for Sims 3 and never made it (Arg!). Apparently EA have to prepare the game when they want to add lifestates – or anything big – and insert some lines for that, or maybe they do it as a testing method, dunno.

IslaRose

This is stuff that people are hopeful for, based on what was datamined from the game in last patch or so. It’s explained in the initial post “leaking” the datamined content. I’m guessing you haven’t seen those posts from this week?

So, basically, the game’s code now includes a bunch of stuff related to vampires as a new life state – including art and other assets (animations, sounds, icons, etc.) so.. it’s not like someone just picked a subject out of thin air – they found the vampire stuff in the game’s code.

If vampires sparkle I’ll riot.

The Twilight book series was great, but the movie adaptions were HORRIBLE! VAMPIRES DON’T SPARKLE!!!

Ahdarsika Khanal

no they dont sparkle.i made this video with sims vampire

Anna Wine

such useless crap they will add and reputations system and fame part were skipped….. I cannot understand that they made that game for 8 year old kids only I guess who needs any vampires in game I ask? well, I don’t wanna be moaner so I’ll shut up and let other have their “fun”

JasonRMJ

I don’t want SPARKLES!!!!!

Wired

I hope you don’t have to become friends with someone to bite them and turn them. I want to be an evil vampire darn it

JackSawyerIsTheBest

And I hope you don’t have to befriend a sim just to bite him to feed on him! That’s silly! Vamps are supposed to be able to hypnotize a total stranger to munch on him!

IslaRose

I’m sure MCCommand will mod it so you can bypass it like you can with Woohoo.

I’m going to finally put my sim’s basement dungeon to use. haha

Ahdarsika Khanal

No you don’t have to.I bite him this way.

I’m not a fan of sparkles either!! I wish we could buy plasma from Internet (not for free in the fridge) for those vampires too lazy for hunting or just rich enough. Maybe the return of the plasma fruit, with some recipes (food and drinks) esplecially for Vamps, so we can build a nice club/restaurant just for them!!

Rees

I hated the free plasma thing in ts3, I hope it’s purchasable in ts4 if they add it. Also it would be pretty cool if they brought back the plasma fruit and added recipes for it.

Nova Rabel

( in TS3) I loved the possibility to make plasma nectar that just Vampires liked!!

Rees

I liked the nectar as well, it was nice that vampires had a bit of variety (very small variety but still lol) I hope they add nectar back at some point.

IslaRose

I’m going to play TS3 tonight, just to build some anticipation for the return of more occult states.

HegeBorre

No sparkling vampires, thank you! XD

Kemski

I understand why people hate vampire-sparkle thing. But I would prefer both option. Sometimes it’s nice having a vampire that can enjoy the sun. In TS2 my vampires frequently die by sunlight.

Frimlin

I’d really like some kind of slaying action so we can make clubs of vampires and slayers and set them on each other. 🙂 Good stories depend on conflict.

Shinzhia

sparkling vampires? hmmn… can we pawn them for easy money? if not? NO!
reserve the sparkling thingy to faes, they deserve it.

Ahdarsika Khanal
Will Stephenson

What I most importantly want to see is that it will be easy for modders to add their own similar occults so that the community can make the world become more alive with unique types of sims
