Question about vampires

<< < (3/4) > >>

J. M. Pescado:
Step 1 is just to make contact. Once you have contact, you can call up and invite over as usual. Alternatively, hunt in a group and simply "influence to bite". Simple.

Zazazu:
Just call during the night, or else they get pissy about you bothering them while the rays of death are still on.

Magicmoon:
I've heard that vampires don't die of old age, so do they age at all? Will a Sim vamped as a teen remain a teen, or keep aging normally but not actually die of old age? Do vamps turn elder at all? Can elders be vamped? IIRC, children can't be vamped.

These questions may be behind the times, but I'm considering playing vamps for the first time. I've experimented with them in the past in old neighborhoods (sans awesome hacks), but haven't really played them since they appeared somewhat boring when I first messed with them. I remember having a vamp with a new baby and having problems caring for it during the day. I just can't remember whether she was vamped before, during, or after pregnancy.

Vamps are fertile but zombies aren't. Is that correct?

The only time that a vampire will age is if you send them to or away from college.  Otherwise, their age bar is frozen.  And, yes, vamps are fertile but not zombies.

ETA: Yes, elders can be vamped.

Adult and elder vamps do not age. I'm not sure about teen vamps -- only one I had was a townie teen who got bitten.  I sent her to Uni, where she became a YA vamp; then she became an adult vamp after she graduated; then she stopped aging. So I suspect teen playable vamps may age and transition to YAs or adults, just as teen zombies will (but I don't know for sure).

Correct.

btw, for my pregnant vamp, I invited a local elder to move in and act as nanny/housekeeper, since hired nannies could be so unpredictable.
