Ever wondered what a Vampire Zombie looks like?

Man and I just made some beautiful "pools of blood" eyes. I'll have to try cloning the vampire mask.
Eyes like that would have been cool on alien vampires... i wonder why maxis didn't think of that :D human eyes on alien especially if it has big eyes... look weird.

Well I tried the contacts, but the vamp overlay including the red eyes lays over top of all makeup, even contacts. So there's no way to get a non red eyed vampire unless you edit the Maxis vamp skin.
I figured it out! When I cloned the vamp skin, I could still use other costume makeups over it. So you can use two. Makes sense, because then vamps can still wear face paint. I didn't think it made sense that costume makeup contacts would not work, because other facepaints did (I don't have contacts in my game, so I couldn't test them). I think what happened is that when I installed nightlife, all the costume makeup code was changed. So pre nightlife costume makeups are not on top of vamp skin if you install them after you install nightlife. No wait, that doesn't make sense. Your contacts probably were in your game before you installed. Were they?
Motoki:
They weren't in the downloads directory when Nightlife was installed (I yanked it out temporarily) but they were created pre-nightlife.
My thinking is most of the vamp skin is partially transparent and lays over a sims original skin, but the eyes are solid. The reason I think this is because, as you noted, you can still use makeup but the make up's color is altered by the vamp overlay. However, no trace of a sim's original eyecolor seems to be retained, it seems to just get replaced by the red eyes.
I like your solid red eyes though, they're quite nice for aliens.

That could be it then. They must have changed the makeup code in NL, so that it's a second layer and the vamp skin is the first. I did leave in my custom content, I just removed my hacks. So updated contacts could work over vampire eyes. Or, contacts made post-NL.

Yup, that's correct. The alpha for the skin is transparent except for eyes and teeth.

Thanks :).

So technically makeup isn't supposed to be beneath the vampire skin then? And I don't just mean costume makeup...
