Sims 4 Ps4 Vampire
Marion Georgi
The Sims 4: Vampires is the fourth game pack for The Sims 4.[1] It marks the return of the vampire lifestate and adds the residential world Forgotten Hollow. Sims can now become immortal and unleash supernatural powers. It was the first game pack that got released for the console version of The Sims 4.[2]
Vampires introduces the vampire life state with a whole bunch of new supernatural powers and abilities. Vampires can alter their appearance between their regular and dark forms, and can use supernatural abilities including super speed, turning into a bat, super strength, etc. Vampires can be made straight from Create a Sim and have their own special CAS options, such as an alternative "dark" form, editing their eyes to be unnatural eye colors, pale skin tones, different fang types, and veins. Sims can also ask vampires to be turned. If they comply, the vampire will bite the Sim and then offer them their blood which the Sim will drink. Sims will not immediately transform, but will get the "Strangely Hungry" moodlet which causes their hunger need to drain.
Vampires will have their own panel to gain and upgrade new abilities that make them more powerful. They can choose certain powers as they gain more experience and become stronger. There are a total of 25 powers, divided evenly (5 per each Vampire Rank), with several powers having their own tiers (up to a maximum of 3). Also some powers conflict with certain weaknesses, preventing you from picking them.
Vampires also have different needs to normal Sims. Vampires do not need to cater to a bladder meter and their energy need is elongated and replaced with "Vampiric Energy" as well as the hunger need being replaced with a "Thirst" need for plasma. The needs panel also showcases the experience to achieve the next vampire rank and the power points.
Just like aliens from The Sims 4: Get to Work, vampires have a Sim form and an alternative form in which they can switch between to keep their vampiric presence from being revealed. They will switch into their "Dark Form" to turn into their true vampiric nature and access some of their supernatural powers, such as feeding and turning other Sims. The Dark Form can be fully customized separately from the normal form in CAS.
There are two brand new skills called pipe organ and vampire lore. Pipe organ is the equivalent of the piano skill for the new pipe organ object, and vampire lore helps vampires become stronger. There are also three new aspirations: Vampire Family, Master Vampire, and Good Vampire.
Vampires includes 151 buy and build mode items and new clothing and hair styles for Sims aged children to elder, all designed to be very gothic. The pack also includes three new lot traits: On A Dark Ley Line, Registered Vampire Lair, and Vampire Nexus.
My game is fully updated and I'm having the same issue on PC. Since it's also affecting PlayStation players, it's definitely not Mods, so I'm guessing it's another bug caused by EA's constant updates because of how buggy High School Years is. Possibly an oversight in all the other updates they've been issuing.
Do these Sims happened to have a fear of dark when changing? A modder wrote about it preventing turning, because vampires are blacklisted from having a fear of dark. Just came to my mind, I can't find the resource anymore so nothing is sure about this, but maybe worth tracking.
Me again. I removed Gunther's Fear of the Dark and turned Wants & Fears off and used cheats to turn him. He's finally a Vampire, meaning I can play the game again now that Gunther's a vampire, so I'm guessing that was the issue.
So it might be that the fear of dark really blocks the turning process to be completed, since vampires can't have that fear. But it's nice to hear Gunther is now finally living his eternal vampire life! ??

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure/need clarification
What happens when the bug occurs? After requesting to be turned by a Vampire sim (vladislaus straud, caleb vatore), my OC sim doesn't actually complete becoming a Vampire. He goes through the stages of hunger and the transformation graphics. But, the Vampire HUD never appears, there are no Vampire interactions available in the interactions menu, and once the hunger effect expires, the sim is able to eat regular food and can't consume Plasma.
What do you expect to see? I would expect after the turning process is complete, the new interactions and HUD would appear, as well as character modifications.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I don't work or have any association with EA. I give advice to the best of my knowledge and cannot be held responsible for any damage done to your computer/game.
Please only contact me via PM when asked to do so.
There are 3 new makeup items, two dramatic eyeshadows and one lipstick. While might not seem like a lot, I found that the alien makeup from Get to work and the makeup from luxury party stuff works really well with my female vamps.
Next up are 3 full body outfits (less than for males, omg). I like all of these and I can see myself using them quite a lot on my vampires. I do wish though there were more classy dresses, things might get repetitive for my vampire countesses.
Toddlers and Children are not getting a lot in this pack, in fact toddlers get 0 new toddler items. The only good thing is, that toddlers can still be vampires and use the skin tones and eyes.

Vampires also do not need to worry about bladder needs, and their energy need is elongated and replaced with "Vampiric Energy."

Vampires also have the ability to compel other Sims to do their bidding, which can be a valuable feature in managing their needs and relationships.
