Turning your Sim into a vampire in The Sims 4 adds a thrilling layer of gameplay, introducing unique powers, challenges, and a whole new way to experience the game. But how exactly do you initiate this transformation? The process primarily involves befriending an existing vampire and convincing them to share their dark gift, but there are also other methods. Let’s dive into the details.
How To Become A Vampire in The Sims 4
The most common and straightforward method to turn your Sim into a vampire involves social interaction with an existing vampire. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
-
Befriend a Vampire: First, you’ll need to locate a vampire. These can be found in the world of Forgotten Hollow, which is included in the Vampires Game Pack. Vampires also appear in other worlds, but they are more common in Forgotten Hollow. Build a relationship with a vampire Sim through standard social interactions, like chatting and performing friendly actions. You don’t necessarily need to become best friends, but a high enough relationship level is crucial for the next step.
-
“Ask to Turn” Interaction: Once you have a decent relationship, you can then use the social interaction “Ask to Turn”. This interaction has a little bat symbol next to it, making it easy to identify. You’ll usually find this option within the Friendly… category when you click on the vampire Sim.
-
The Bite: If the vampire agrees, they’ll transform into their dark form and bite your Sim on the neck. This is the crucial step of the transformation process.
-
The Transformation: Turning into a vampire takes a couple of in-game days. You’ll notice that your Sim will experience several moodlets as they gradually transform. After this period, your Sim will officially become a vampire.
-
Another Method: If you’re playing a vampire Sim who has the Vampire Creation perk, which can be unlocked through the Vampire skill tree by using Vampire Powers skill points, you can select Offer to Turn to have your Sim bite the other Sim. This process skips the need to ask and guarantees they will bite. This option will be found under the Friendly category.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Vampires in The Sims 4
1. Can a vampire Sim turn other Sims into vampires?
Yes, absolutely! Vampires can turn other Sims. As explained previously, after befriending a vampire and having a high relationship level, your Sim can “Ask to Turn.” A vampire with the Vampire Creation Perk can “Offer to Turn”.
2. Can vampires get pregnant in The Sims 4?
Yes, vampires can absolutely get pregnant and have children. They can “Try for Baby” just like normal Sims. The same applies for relationships with humans, aliens, spellcasters, and other vampires.
3. How do I change to the “dark form” in The Sims 4?
Vampires have two forms: their normal form and their dark form. The dark form can be customized separately from the normal form, but these forms can be linked. To change into their dark form you will click on the vampire panel at the bottom of the screen and then click on the skull icon. If you need to unlink the forms to change just one, click on the small chain symbol between the two forms.
4. What is the process of vampire transformation?
The transformation from human to vampire is described as being a vivid memory. When bitten, venom is injected into the bloodstream. Vampire venom is thicker than blood, which is the reason the transformation is long-lasting.
5. Does the “Forever Full” aspiration work on vampires?
No, unfortunately, the Forever Full aspiration does not work on vampires. Even if you have the aspiration, their hunger will still decrease.
6. What happens if a Sim has a baby with a vampire?
The child’s vampirism is determined by a basic phenotype at birth. If both parents are vampires, the child will guaranteed be a vampire. If only one parent is a vampire, there is a 50% chance the child will also be a vampire.
7. Can a vampire and a human have a baby?
Yes, a vampire and a human can have a baby. Any child resulting from a vampire/human pairing will be a vampire. However, born vampires don’t gain their full powers until they reach the young adult age stage.

To cure a Sim of vampirism, they need to increase their Vampire Lore skill. Once their Vampire Lore level is high enough, they’ll learn how to create a cure potion at a bar. You’ll also need the right ingredients, like wolfsbane.
9. Does the “Never Weary” trait work on vampires?
No, the “Never Weary” trait does not work on vampires. This trait only applies to the regular energy bar, which vampires do not have. Vampires use Vampire Energy.
10. Can vampire Sims go out in sunlight?

11. What is a female vampire called?
A female vampire is commonly referred to as a vampiress.
12. Can a vampire fall in love with a human?
Yes, vampires can fall in love with humans. The idea of vampires being emotionless has been popularized in modern fiction. The ability for vampires to have romantic relationships depends on the specific lore and interpretation of vampires. In The Sims 4, vampires are capable of forming deep emotional bonds with human Sims.
13. Is vampire sperm alive?
The lore of vampires is different everywhere, but it is often implied that vampire cells are no longer alive in some interpretations. This means that vampire sperm would not be functional. The Sims 4 has no specific lore on this topic.
14. What happens if an alien and a vampire have a baby in The Sims 4?
The results can be mixed and are not guaranteed to result in a hybrid. The child might be a vampire, alien, or a normal human Sim. It’s less likely the child will have a mixture of traits and abilities.
15. How do you stop a vampire’s thirst in Sims 4?
Vampires have a plasma thirst, not a hunger for normal food. To quench their thirst, they can drink from other Sims, or they can consume plasma packs. Plasma packs can be made by fishing or from frogs with a high enough Vampire Lore skill. Also, plasma can be harvested from Plasma Fruit trees.
