The Sims 3 Late Night Guide › Essentials › Vamping It Up

How To Turn Vampire

Your Turn

So, you’ve decided to go vampire. Well, it’s not one of those things you can just declare by dressing in mall goth clothes and sulking around the house all serious-faced. You have to physically find another vampire and request that he or she turn you. Vampires are actually quite rare. There are only a few of them in Bridgeport and they do not hang out in the open. You have to look for them in high-end clubs and bars, such as a swank lounge with an exclusive clientele.

Caution

You will never find a vampire in a dive bar unless, well, you turn into one and go there yourself.

Note

To make doubly sure you’ve found a vampire, you can use the Relationship panel. If a Sim’s portrait appears with a red outline around it, they are indeed a vampire.

Tip

If your Sim is near a vampire with whom they have a low relationship, they receive the Hunted Moodlet. Use this tip-off to start looking around for a vampire.

Once you have located a vampire, you cannot just walk up to them and use the Ask to Turn interaction. You need to actually establish some sort of relationship. Strike up a conversation. Keep it cordial. Don’t use any risky socials that could alienate the vampire, such as choosing to gossip or insult. As soon as you have a rapport with the vampire, you can use Ask to Turn. The success rate is not 100 percent. If your relationship is not very high, the vampire will simply shake their heads and refuse.

Being rejected by a vampire is embarrassing and leaves your Sim upset.

If the vampire agrees to turn you, you must find a safe place to commit to the transformation. You cannot be turned in a populated place. The vampire will tell you that you must find a more remote location and suggest a spot. Then, you have to use Map View and select the Go Here With interaction to rush to the designated spot with the vampire.

As soon as you and the vampire have found a quiet spot, get ready. The vampire sinks their teeth into you. As then, as soon as it starts, the ceremony is over. The vampire disappears, leaving you alone. (The bite marks last several days and give you the neutral Unusual Blemish moodlet.)

When the Ask to Turn is successful, a vampire-esque flourish surrounds you.

So, now what? Now, you go home and suffer through the transformation process. What—you didn’t expect this to be a cakewalk, did you? Your Sim experiences nausea and complains that it feels like their blood is boiling. You must also deal with the Unusual Blemish moodlet, which leaves your Sim feeling a little funky. If you didn’t already have the Hates the Outdoors trait, your Sim behaves like they do, which means they are unhappy when having to leave the house—especially during the day.

Note

Sims that are being turned into vampires get a special treat in the mail: Plasma Fruit. Be grateful—you’re gonna need those soon enough.

However, at the end of the second day following the bite, your Sim experiences the end of the transformation process. You are now officially a vampire. You now have the ability to turn other Sims into vampires. Vampirism has a host of benefits, but also a handful of potential negatives depending on behavior.

Caution

Only Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims can be turned into a vampire. Teens and Children cannot ask a vampire to turn them.

Turning Another Sim

When you are a vampire, you may turn other Sims. You can turn Sims that you actively control in your household as long as the Sims are on good terms. However, if you attempt to use the Offer to Turn interaction on a Sim you do not control, you must run a relationship check. You cannot bite just any stranger. You at least need a positive relationship.

If the Offer to Turn is accepted by a Sim with a high enough relationship or you have glamoured them with Think About Me, you go for the jugular.

Note

If you turn a non-player-controlled Sim, then you will not see the two days of the transformation ordeal.

Caution

You cannot turn other occult Sims into vampires. Ghosts cannot be turned, nor can the mummies introduced in World Adventures or the SimBot introduced in Ambitions. However, if a vampire dies, they can be resurrected as a playable ghost.
