Lounges also have comedians perform. I remember being in a Windenberg lounge, I think I was on a date, and there were rarely any other sims at this lounge. I'm not sure that more than one or two sims were ever in there besides my sim and their date, so the comedian would sometimes perform for no one in a mostly empty room, so that was depressing alongside the lounge itself not being all that well decorated. lol
@@pathogenofdecay Fair point, I suppose. It's not necessarily music you'll get in a lounge. I guess the real distinction is that in a lounge, you only have seating for patrons, but in a night club you usually get a dance floor as well. I'm sure the real-world definitions are very slippery and not used very strictly or consistently, though.
And irl dance clubs can get to be wild woohoo spots too. But there's always variations on all of them where there's a hot tub lounge, etc. And I feel like lounge is most likely to feel like a vegas kitschy theme bar.
Honestly, I feel like the sims team should go back to the older packs and update them rather than keep adding more stuff, just imagine if they took more inspiration from VTM, or if the vampires had more lore regarding a secret world like the spellcasters have. AAAAND btw fgg should make one build for each of the VTM clans...just saying
It's like a common thing right now. DLC for free, small updates that come more often than big updates. Updating OLD stuff instead of waiting for old stuff to rot and colapse before updating/patching. Like EA try to be doctor but all they prefer necromancy.
If they're going to revamp the occult s I feel like they should hire Spinning Plumbobs to help them. Spinning Plumbobs literally just released the trailer for the expanded PlantSims mod pack that they made and if they can give us fairies and better mermaids, they can bring more lore and excitement to the occults.
it’s a good idea in theory, but in practice, not everyone’s computer can handle extra dlc. sometimes people buy exactly as many packs as their computer can handle
@@prettilydead In my head it's not really a new dlc it's just revamping the itens, the cas stuff and the gameplay, in theory it's stull the same dlc but newer y'know
I wish vampires had the feature similar to new werewolves. Werewolves are prone to having burst of anger that forces them to transform, so I think new vampires should have outburst where they are unable to control their thirst and attack random sims. Only after you gain skill level are they able to control themselves better.
There is a similar feature! If your vampires thirst gets too low and you don't do anything about it they'll uncontrollably drink from a nearby sim, you need to level up and get the tamed thirst thing (I think lol) to get it not happen
@@AbhijaiSinghayeah that's exactly how it works. My whole Sims family is freak. Vampire base with other occult Sims mixed in and the low level vampires uncontrollably drink and you have to unlock a perk to get them to control their thirst .
as others said, the framework for this is already in game, it's just that you don't have a visible meter as you do with werewolves and it takes so long that you need some patience and, if you're used to care for your sims' needs and mood, conscious effort. but it could certainly be dialed up, maybe with an opt out to keep the current state in the options menu. most likely won't happen, but we can dream.
I have a mother and child daughter vampires that live in Forgotten Hollow, and I have the mod that lets child vampires actually be vampires like Sims 2 used to have, and after the sun goes down I send them to visit some house with a family, the mom feeds off the adults and her daughter feeds off any children they might have, and feeding off Sims actually does fill the hunger more than the plasma fruit. So the vampires in my game are a bit more scary cause some vampire child might feed off of someone.
I never play with vampires in the Sims but based on my knowledge of Vampires in most media wouldn't having windows on the top floor also be a dumb idea? Although I'm guessing vampires can just go out in the middle of the day too since days and nights are so short in the Sims. 🤷♀️
Bar vs. Lounge vs. Nightclub: It's mostly about the vibes. Bars are basically a place you can drink in public legally. They might have a dance floor, but the attraction is the drinks. Bars can have a variety of music depending on the area and crowd. You're also more likely to find snacks, TV, and games (pool, etc.). TS4: Sims like to talk more in bars. A Lounge is going to be more relaxed. Get a drink. Listen to some (softer) music. Maybe some jazz/live music. Geared towards adults, but like, fancy rich adults. Lounges may also have food, but it's more likely to be bougie food, depending on the area. TS4: You'll get more elders/adult sims. A nightclub is about drinking and dancing. High energy and loud. Don't expect snacks, but there might be something. Attractive to young adult. More likely to have a bouncer. Nightclubs will rarely play anything more than a decade old, and it's usually Hip-hop, pop, remixes, techno, etc. TS4: They're going to be more active at night (compared to bars and lounges that will spawn sims if an active sim is there regardless). Sims also prefer dancing at nightclubs over everything (drinking, chatting, etc.).
I must say, as soon as you said this was inspired by Clan Toreador the whole build just made sense to me. Yep, this is definitely a Toreador's property, they're very proud of it, they're most definitely Predator Type Siren and use this place to hunt pretty people, and you can be very sure their haven is not that far from here (and it's also the most beautifully creepy place you've ever seen). I'll be sure to come back should you ever decide to build that.
I forget it's here, and then end up doing the chorus along (because it's fun) and then don't listen to the start because my head is singing in it's corner, and so we start the video again. I love it.
"Vampire the Masquerade is my favorite type of vampire" I FEEL SEEN AND HEARD-- I'm so tempted to make my character from when I played the TTRPG and her haven............ I miss Aurelie so much...............
A bar is where you go to get drinks, but there's generally no obligation to dance or interact with others. You might wanna watch the game, play games, eat snacks, but the center is on the drinks. It's attractive to college-aged and older (usually middle-aged). There are also cigar bars. Think man cave or stuff you might do in the den. A nightclub is where you go to dance and mingle, you might have drinks, and there usually isn't really any food, the music is loud, and the seats tend to be limited. The focus is on the music. The fancier clubs like neon lights. The crowd tends to be young folk (although there are teen and Christian clubs). Think party. A lounge usually has cushy seating, not so hype music, and sometimes food, usually finger foods, or there can be hookah smoking. There tends to be live music sometimes, but the vibe is to chill, relax, and mingle a little. Think "arelaxing evening chilling with friends." The age tends to be adult or older (grown folk). The music isn't as loud as a club, and there tends to be no TV's or games like at bars. More upscale. Even if you don't dance, drink or smoke, it's still a chill vibe.
Nice idea. I have always wondered why Vlad isn't more advanced in vampire skills. I've had other vampires spawn into my games with more skills. That is my only complaint about the sims4 vampires.
I theorize in terms of Vampire: The Masquerade, the blood essentially gets broken down into quintessence (to use the Mage term) to fuel the vampire's life and powers. It probably hangs out in their body until they need it, which is why their tears and stuff are blood. All supernaturals have different patterns, but they're all fundamentally fueled by quintessence, even if they get it through different methods. That's why Nodes, Freeholds, Caerns, etc. can fuel any of the living supernaturals. Vampires have to get it a different way due to their curse.
@@kupcakez I always assumed since you get 1 blood point from a bag, that's like a pint of blood, so a few teaspoons at most goes to tears. But I dunno, you cry hard enough... XD *sploosh as their eyes gush a cup of blood each* "... Does anyone have a tissue?"
Fellow VtM storyteller here! I think that was the Storytellers handbook 2nd ed. Says all the body fluids are blood but to use the rule of cool seeing as vamps also don't bleed unless they want to. Also it meant that unprotected sex as a male would ghoul a female partner.
I recently built a vampire lounge as well. It was part of a story my husband and I wrote together about a new vampire. It can be quite fun creating something nice and new.
The way you keep to a schedule and use the same sounds and format in your videos makes my brain very comfortable and happy, and I especially needed that today. Also Vampires. Thank you!
Fun fact as a fellow VTM fan; Jason Carl confirmed that when Vampires do Blush of Life, They do indeed poop like mortals! Their body liquids are also normal with blush of life.
Amazing build! I've recently listened to Interview With The Vampire and The Vampire Lestat and this lounge fits the vibe. :D I should probably also look into Vampire The Masquerad - everything you've told about it sounds interesting!
PERSONALLY!! I really loved this build IMMA BE HONEST I CLICK FOR THE LORE NOT REALLY WATCH YOUR BUILDS BUT I DID THIS TIME AND WAS ACUALLY OBSERVATED❤
I wish the devs would add lot traits with "X occult type only", so we could have occult-specific build, lounges, bars, hang out-spots, etc. As well as cas traits that relates to them, like occult enthusiast, occult hater, or in likes/dislikes/attraction, so that sims could like and/or be attracted to specific occult-types. I think it would be so much fun!
Honestly it needed to be said, I hope in the next pack that's coming (even though is a "death pack") be centered around Halloween a little and we get something for the occults, I love all the occults but I think every one of their "species" needs a little revamp, like literally Aliens, Mermaids and Plant Sims, people tend to forget about them cause they have like 0 abilities I just hope all occults get some kind of readjust in the future and we get something like Fairies, it's valid to dream I guess.
Vampire the masquerade is hella fun, never played the board games but played bloodlines and waiting for bloodlines 2. That rant of vampires and then not going out so not knowing the difference with some public buildings is such a mood. Also I wouldn't be afraid of vampires irl in modern times, they would no longer go hunting they would go partying and find the freaky people that would love to bed fed on.
Oh, my favorite TTRPG toon was a Toreador.... this was way back in the pre-internet days when you had to buy the books to play. My gorgeous lady had a special fascination with drinking from the lower regions of her prey/lovers. This club is PERRFECT!!!
I already did a functional version of a build for the 910 Medina Studios apartment, based on a non-functional build recreation someone else did that was a full version of the first apartment from the VtM; Bloodlines game. It's... downright uncomfortable to look at... and I love it. My Nosferatu lives there.
this reminded me that i did build our coterie's home in sims4 when we were playing that game, and making everyone as sims. it was fun! our game took place in the 70s in LA, so it was very glamourous
As soon as you used the rose wallpaper I was like TOREADORS lmao I feel seen with the VtM vampires being your fav because same, I cannot be normal about that game, I have 2 tattoos inspired by a fucking RPG and I'm planning to get more dhgsfj I am in love with this build and also wish there was a separate lot type for vampire gatherings aa
The fact that in the Sims 2, they can be upset over a deleted object is one of my favorite details, and it works because Sims actually have relationships with objects coded into the game! It’s the same reason ghosts often go back to their old beds and cheer when it’s still there, or sims missing an object when it’s stolen by a burglar. The game uses this in place of something like the Sims 4’s bed assignment system, because it makes the sim recognize something as belonging to them. It’s a really subtle and sophisticated system going on in the background!
Completely unrelated to Sims SAME. i do not drink because it makes me sleepy not ready to party. But also, yeah tried to be a club person…realized I wasn’t and am happier. Also stopped trying to find the ‘fun’ in alcohol and am happier. Thanks for making me feel seen. 😂 But exact opposite of you, if I invest in a build its community lots. I always download random houses off the gallery and the fix them up or change them as needed for my sim. Never build them. But a Community lot. Will invest for hours
I haven't played Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines buttttttt my favorite vampires are the ones in Buffy cause it's a demon inside them making them a vampire and they have a creepy demon looking face when they want to feed on blood. Them turning into dust when the sun touches them or they get staked is a nice touch too. Having to be invited into a building before they can enter is also a super underused bit of lore most vampire media doesn't include and it was funny how they played on it using welcome mats as an open invitation and how the only way to uninvite a vampire in was basically doing a whole protection ritual.
omg, i didn't know the older sims had vampire lounges!! but in the lagacy challenge im writing for The Sims 4, one of the generation's goal is to create a lounge where vampires hang out. I haven't tested this out how exactly it would work yet, with your sims not being able to own an actual lounge lot type. but 😍 yes ❤ vampire lounges are fun
I’m SO glad there is someone else who doesn’t have that appeal for clubs and drinking as well! My first time going to the club I ended up leaving right after I walked in to go home and watch Disney movies because the club was too loud and crowded
I won't lie. I had a moment where I went "wow this building is really dark" just for me to realize my screen's brightness was all the way down... Anyways, nice build 👍
OOOO SHIT THIS IS MY PERFECT BUILD PROMPT...FUCK Also I think the whole 'do they maintain a digestive system' depends on your lore. If they're actually subsisting biologically off of blood, then yes, they should maintain functional digestion. But if the consumption of blood is more of a 'consumption of life-sustaining liquid', like it is in VTM and even Sims 4, then no, there's probably nothing left. Traditionally vampires are walking corpses, and the consumption of blood and the hunger is less of a 'i need to absorb and cycle calories through my system' and more of 'i am a creature of nightmares that is forever caught in a singular moment through the theft of the life of others'.
I missed the date already to post, and I was building something that was gonna be probably off-prompt, but I wanted to comment what it was, and maybe find out thoughts: a flying saucer vampire house, with a blend of futuristic alien and old-times vampire, inspired by the concept of Lesbian Vampires from Outer Space (as taken from the song by the Scary Bitches)
I have an idea Do a pharmacy/clinic for new vampires. They get given fresh blood, cringe pamphlets for how to hunt humans and steal it from hospitals. I'm writing a vampire novel set in the modern day and it's one of my settings
As an archaeologist i'd love it if one of my friands was a vampire. Just picture it : factchecking every hypothesis about the past with someone who litteraly lived the past. A vampire = a must have in your research team.
I also don't know the difference between a nightclub, a bar and a lounge I can only assume the difference comes from the vibe of the music playing. If it's dance music, it's a nightclub. If it sounds like old-timey lofi, it's a lounge, and if it sounds like an old radio station, it's a bar
When you were that one kid who did not want to be an adult and were slamming on the brakes as hard as you could through your whole childhood (but you still grew up, and yeah it’s as little fun as you were expecting 😅). Also, am I the only one who misses how Sims 3 vampires could do CONSENSUAL neck biting with their lovers? (And they also licked their lips afterwards which was just weirdly cute to me!). And yeah, I miss the vampire lounges too. I was always sending my fairies in to find vampire mates, because fairy x vampire couples were my favorites! ❤️
That's a lot of mirrors for vampires lol (although I cannot honestly remember if in vampire the masquerade they had a reflection.. but the mirrors do seem to fit clan)
Same. I'd probably drink alcohol like most people do if didn't taste so bad and I really don't like carbonated drinks in general. The only alcohol I drink is the toast at parties😂
I could never play my game ever again without the "vampires can kill" mod. It just makes everything so much better. What's the point in living as a vampire if I'm only able to just gentle hizz around at people and meditate? duhhhhh nothingggg, gimme that sexy, slaughtery drama Sims 🧛🔥🌚
My biggest issue with the vampires pack is that it's Victorian themed... Probably one of the most iconic architectural styles in the world and it is criminally underused on just 4 lackluster lots that inevitably get replaced alongside the empty one every playthrough. The vampires themselves I think are fine aside from the tediousness of trying to run a family of them rather than just one or two at a time.
I'm an Ann Rice vampire fan, but also a Bram Stoker vampire fan.... Twilight vampires\kid friendly vampires can take a very long walk off a very short pier.
If someone I knew were a vampire I would ask these questions: 1. What was history like 2. How much blood do they need to drink 3. Do they know any hot vampires
(spoilers for twilight) One thing I've thought about for an embarrassing long time is.. Bella's and Edward's wedding night/honeymoon must have been so awkward since... vampire's are undead, their blood does not flow, so he shouldn't have been able to 'get it up' 😞😞
I wish that humans would freak out and scared when they see vampires in their dark form instead of their human form. And they should have an option for vampires to reveal their dark forms to those they trust in on their secret. It would also be cool if vampires have a certain limit to how long they can be in their human form and that it would drain their dark energy the longer they are in it. Also I hate it when I had my vampire sims try to secretly drink blood and wiping the human sims’ memory, only for people to still know about that they drink… it toro all ruins the immersion of trying to live a secret life as a vampire
Sims 4 literally has a lot trait to draw vampires to lots. Does your world have lots of vampires? Does it have a lot designated as a vampire hangout? If no, that is why you feel like a vampire hangout is missing. The reason vampires hung out at the lounge in Sims 3 is because that "lot trait" was built into the lot type itself. In Sims 4 you have the choice.
It depends on *what vampire* in *what lore* your looking at, most vampires love being vampires. Its cannon in most vampire media that the older vamps are entitled, classist, egotistical, and have a superiority complex thousands of years long. Its only the few and far between (usually main characters) that are "morally" against the notion, because of the species-ist old fart, causing harm, or a deep sense of loss. To give the characters more depth and add an antagonist. Personally wouldnt mind being a vampire, depending on the lore. I dont like the taste of blood as a human, but from all forms of vampires I've seen the taste and draw of blood changes entirely after you turn. The only thing that makes it hard is humanities preconceived notions.
I have two gripes about the Sims 4 vampires. 1.) They basically never sleep past the initial stage, so any perks/consequences for poor sleep/mandatory coffin use/etc are just wasted. Even if I skip the perk that lets them go into the sun, they stop sleeping at some point. 2.) There’s no real threat to being exposed as one. You might take a small hit to your reputation or start your relationship bar slightly negative, but that can be fixed in a few minutes by just cracking fine jokes and making a donation to charity. Give us REAL stakes, like visible and visceral rejection from society, people sending you threatening messages, sending Vampire hunters after you- just SOME kind of lasting consequences.
Can you please make a video like this about spellcasters/witches? I loved witches in Sims 3. The outfits, the spells/charms/curses, different wands having different benefits, the more magic set that came with a voodoo doll, crystal ball, and book of spells for MORE SPELLS with their own limitations. The overall vibe, world, and objects for witches in Sims 3, and Sims 2 was top tier. But realm of magic completely missed the witchy mark. I mean they’re not even called witches. I hope that the eventually go back and refresh vampires and realm of magic because they are both good, but they are missing a lot of core elements in my opinion.

For some build ideas, can you give the Spencer-Kim Lewis and BFF household and houses a makeover. You could also add your own lore to them.
For the Spencer Kim Lewis household just delete the entire family, you've lost nothing 🤣

"The only threat there is the homeowner's association" LMAO
I wish the devs would add lot traits with "X occult type only", so we could have occult-specific build, lounges, bars, hang out-spots, etc. As well as cas traits that relates to them, like occult enthusiast, occult hater, or in likes/dislikes/attraction, so that sims could like and/or be attracted to specific occult-types. I think it would be so much fun!
Honestly it needed to be said, I hope in the next pack that's coming (even though is a "death pack") be centered around Halloween a little and we get something for the occults, I love all the occults but I think every one of their "species" needs a little revamp, like literally Aliens, Mermaids and Plant Sims, people tend to forget about them cause they have like 0 abilities I just hope all occults get some kind of readjust in the future and we get something like Fairies, it's valid to dream I guess.
HEY FAKEGAMERGIRL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU AND YOU KEEP DOING GREAT THINGS!!!!
Fakegamergirl is the best singer ever, I listen to this theme song on repeat, it's on the top of my playlist and is my favourite song of all time
Vampire the masquerade is hella fun, never played the board games but played bloodlines and waiting for bloodlines 2. That rant of vampires and then not going out so not knowing the difference with some public buildings is such a mood. Also I wouldn't be afraid of vampires irl in modern times, they would no longer go hunting they would go partying and find the freaky people that would love to bed fed on.
I love the round bar! This build is PEAK vibes!
Oh, my favorite TTRPG toon was a Toreador.... this was way back in the pre-internet days when you had to buy the books to play. My gorgeous lady had a special fascination with drinking from the lower regions of her prey/lovers. This club is PERRFECT!!!
I already did a functional version of a build for the 910 Medina Studios apartment, based on a non-functional build recreation someone else did that was a full version of the first apartment from the VtM; Bloodlines game.
It's... downright uncomfortable to look at... and I love it.
My Nosferatu lives there.
this might be one of your best builds i really really like it good job
this reminded me that i did build our coterie's home in sims4 when we were playing that game, and making everyone as sims. it was fun! our game took place in the 70s in LA, so it was very glamourous
As soon as you used the rose wallpaper I was like TOREADORS lmao
I feel seen with the VtM vampires being your fav because same, I cannot be normal about that game, I have 2 tattoos inspired by a fucking RPG and I'm planning to get more dhgsfj
I am in love with this build and also wish there was a separate lot type for vampire gatherings aa
The Bar - Nightclub - Lounge part was ON POINT. 😂
A lot of the exterior is giving the vibes of Deacon Frost's home/hangout from Blade. Very sleek and modern with bright lights.
The fact that in the Sims 2, they can be upset over a deleted object is one of my favorite details, and it works because Sims actually have relationships with objects coded into the game! It’s the same reason ghosts often go back to their old beds and cheer when it’s still there, or sims missing an object when it’s stolen by a burglar. The game uses this in place of something like the Sims 4’s bed assignment system, because it makes the sim recognize something as belonging to them. It’s a really subtle and sophisticated system going on in the background!
this is such a good build!!!!❤
What We do in the Shadows tv show is great 👍 i made them and put them in the gallery
obsessed w this build
Finally a can drink tea!! Thx for video 🤩
Completely unrelated to Sims SAME. i do not drink because it makes me sleepy not ready to party. But also, yeah tried to be a club person…realized I wasn’t and am happier. Also stopped trying to find the ‘fun’ in alcohol and am happier. Thanks for making me feel seen. 😂
But exact opposite of you, if I invest in a build its community lots. I always download random houses off the gallery and the fix them up or change them as needed for my sim. Never build them. But a Community lot. Will invest for hours
I haven't played Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines buttttttt my favorite vampires are the ones in Buffy cause it's a demon inside them making them a vampire and they have a creepy demon looking face when they want to feed on blood.
Them turning into dust when the sun touches them or they get staked is a nice touch too.
Having to be invited into a building before they can enter is also a super underused bit of lore most vampire media doesn't include and it was funny how they played on it using welcome mats as an open invitation and how the only way to uninvite a vampire in was basically doing a whole protection ritual.
I bought a cat today!
Congrats on your new overlord!
You bought it with money? You know that’s really bad right. You should’ve adopted one
Your build is really cool
omg, i didn't know the older sims had vampire lounges!! but in the lagacy challenge im writing for The Sims 4, one of the generation's goal is to create a lounge where vampires hang out. I haven't tested this out how exactly it would work yet, with your sims not being able to own an actual lounge lot type. but 😍 yes ❤ vampire lounges are fun
I’m SO glad there is someone else who doesn’t have that appeal for clubs and drinking as well! My first time going to the club I ended up leaving right after I walked in to go home and watch Disney movies because the club was too loud and crowded
Please never go to therapy you're my favourite insane youtuber
I won't lie. I had a moment where I went "wow this building is really dark" just for me to realize my screen's brightness was all the way down...
Anyways, nice build 👍
Swanky! I love it!
OOOO SHIT THIS IS MY PERFECT BUILD PROMPT...FUCK
Also I think the whole 'do they maintain a digestive system' depends on your lore. If they're actually subsisting biologically off of blood, then yes, they should maintain functional digestion. But if the consumption of blood is more of a 'consumption of life-sustaining liquid', like it is in VTM and even Sims 4, then no, there's probably nothing left. Traditionally vampires are walking corpses, and the consumption of blood and the hunger is less of a 'i need to absorb and cycle calories through my system' and more of 'i am a creature of nightmares that is forever caught in a singular moment through the theft of the life of others'.
I've actually built a vampire nightclub that looks like a broken down cemetery. 😁
The Vattore's built this 100%
I missed the date already to post, and I was building something that was gonna be probably off-prompt, but I wanted to comment what it was, and maybe find out thoughts: a flying saucer vampire house, with a blend of futuristic alien and old-times vampire, inspired by the concept of Lesbian Vampires from Outer Space (as taken from the song by the Scary Bitches)
friendly reminder it's ok to ghost someone if you think they might be a risk to your safety
I'm gonna start a save file in windenburg where all the different parts of the map are for a different occult. (Vampire, Spellcaster, and Werewolf)
I have a vampire legacy save (that branched off of a spellcaster legacy 😅) that has gotten too spread out. Taking over Windenburg is genius!
great job!
"it tastes bad and makes me sleepy" is EXACTLY why i don't drink lol
I have an idea
Do a pharmacy/clinic for new vampires. They get given fresh blood, cringe pamphlets for how to hunt humans and steal it from hospitals.
I'm writing a vampire novel set in the modern day and it's one of my settings
That would be so cool!
As an archaeologist i'd love it if one of my friands was a vampire. Just picture it : factchecking every hypothesis about the past with someone who litteraly lived the past. A vampire = a must have in your research team.
Wait… you don’t like Astarion? I thought if anyone would love a trauma filled, evil prone, snarky vampire, I’d be you. Wild.
There are two wolves inside you: vampire goth core and cyberpunk city core
They make out gayly in the back of the club
LIFE AND DEATH EXPANSION PACK COULD BRING ZOMBIES
What's fun is building an underground crypt lounge in a cemetery
I also don't know the difference between a nightclub, a bar and a lounge
I can only assume the difference comes from the vibe of the music playing. If it's dance music, it's a nightclub. If it sounds like old-timey lofi, it's a lounge, and if it sounds like an old radio station, it's a bar
When you were that one kid who did not want to be an adult and were slamming on the brakes as hard as you could through your whole childhood (but you still grew up, and yeah it’s as little fun as you were expecting 😅). Also, am I the only one who misses how Sims 3 vampires could do CONSENSUAL neck biting with their lovers? (And they also licked their lips afterwards which was just weirdly cute to me!). And yeah, I miss the vampire lounges too. I was always sending my fairies in to find vampire mates, because fairy x vampire couples were my favorites! ❤️
OMG SO CLOSE TO 400K SUBS! WWWWW
That's a lot of mirrors for vampires lol (although I cannot honestly remember if in vampire the masquerade they had a reflection.. but the mirrors do seem to fit clan)
Same. I'd probably drink alcohol like most people do if didn't taste so bad and I really don't like carbonated drinks in general. The only alcohol I drink is the toast at parties😂
I also get confused with all those lot types like Bar, Nightclub disco stuff because I've never been to those places irl
This kind of inspired me to write a short story about vampires 🧛♂️
I made a vampire nightclub once and above ground it looks like a cemetairy.
And undergriund is where the nigh club is
I could never play my game ever again without the "vampires can kill" mod. It just makes everything so much better. What's the point in living as a vampire if I'm only able to just gentle hizz around at people and meditate? duhhhhh nothingggg, gimme that sexy, slaughtery drama Sims 🧛🔥🌚
My biggest issue with the vampires pack is that it's Victorian themed... Probably one of the most iconic architectural styles in the world and it is criminally underused on just 4 lackluster lots that inevitably get replaced alongside the empty one every playthrough. The vampires themselves I think are fine aside from the tediousness of trying to run a family of them rather than just one or two at a time.
Like if you've already pressed the bell button 🔔❤
I'm an Ann Rice vampire fan, but also a Bram Stoker vampire fan.... Twilight vampires\kid friendly vampires can take a very long walk off a very short pier.
If someone I knew were a vampire I would ask these questions:
1. What was history like
2. How much blood do they need to drink
3. Do they know any hot vampires
(spoilers for twilight)
One thing I've thought about for an embarrassing long time is.. Bella's and Edward's wedding night/honeymoon must have been so awkward since... vampire's are undead, their blood does not flow, so he shouldn't have been able to 'get it up' 😞😞
_love it!_
I wish that humans would freak out and scared when they see vampires in their dark form instead of their human form. And they should have an option for vampires to reveal their dark forms to those they trust in on their secret. It would also be cool if vampires have a certain limit to how long they can be in their human form and that it would drain their dark energy the longer they are in it. Also I hate it when I had my vampire sims try to secretly drink blood and wiping the human sims’ memory, only for people to still know about that they drink… it toro all ruins the immersion of trying to live a secret life as a vampire
Sims 4 literally has a lot trait to draw vampires to lots. Does your world have lots of vampires? Does it have a lot designated as a vampire hangout? If no, that is why you feel like a vampire hangout is missing. The reason vampires hung out at the lounge in Sims 3 is because that "lot trait" was built into the lot type itself. In Sims 4 you have the choice.
It depends on *what vampire* in *what lore* your looking at, most vampires love being vampires. Its cannon in most vampire media that the older vamps are entitled, classist, egotistical, and have a superiority complex thousands of years long. Its only the few and far between (usually main characters) that are "morally" against the notion, because of the species-ist old fart, causing harm, or a deep sense of loss. To give the characters more depth and add an antagonist. Personally wouldnt mind being a vampire, depending on the lore. I dont like the taste of blood as a human, but from all forms of vampires I've seen the taste and draw of blood changes entirely after you turn. The only thing that makes it hard is humanities preconceived notions.
YASSS VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE MENTION!!!
dude that’s crazy i just started a new vampire let’s play and i made a modern house for them
I have two gripes about the Sims 4 vampires.
1.) They basically never sleep past the initial stage, so any perks/consequences for poor sleep/mandatory coffin use/etc are just wasted. Even if I skip the perk that lets them go into the sun, they stop sleeping at some point.
2.) There’s no real threat to being exposed as one. You might take a small hit to your reputation or start your relationship bar slightly negative, but that can be fixed in a few minutes by just cracking fine jokes and making a donation to charity. Give us REAL stakes, like visible and visceral rejection from society, people sending you threatening messages, sending Vampire hunters after you- just SOME kind of lasting consequences.
We really need more mermaids and aliens on the Sims 4, I feel it's needed for sure
4:24 I've always assumed they just used the blood in place of their own. Like Vlad is circulating Eliza's blood.
PLANt?
fucking BANNED for that pun
Can you please make a video like this about spellcasters/witches? I loved witches in Sims 3. The outfits, the spells/charms/curses, different wands having different benefits, the more magic set that came with a voodoo doll, crystal ball, and book of spells for MORE SPELLS with their own limitations. The overall vibe, world, and objects for witches in Sims 3, and Sims 2 was top tier. But realm of magic completely missed the witchy mark. I mean they’re not even called witches. I hope that the eventually go back and refresh vampires and realm of magic because they are both good, but they are missing a lot of core elements in my opinion.
Talking about V:TM forced me to leave a comment. *ENGAGEMENT*
vampires and night clubs with poor lighting are a match made in heaven

The "All of the liquid????" was so real
2:57 a hate comment (np ❤)
10 out of 10 would go and be a vampire juice box at this place
