I’ve got to say that when I first saw that vampires were coming to The Sims 4 I was very skeptical but after seeing the trailers and actually playing with them myself I’ve gotta say I’m still very impressed. This video is only part 1 of a video comparing vampires across the Sims universe (From TS2 - TS4). I felt like sharing my opinion of the vampires with you guys after I watched part 2.
TS2 - Meh, just Sims that are VERY vulnerable to sunlight and can turn others. Nothing special here.
TS3 - Much improved from TS2. I did have a lot of fun with them but they only really livened up with Supernatural and even then since there was no leveling system for them like there was with the other supernaturals they felt like an afterthought. Still pretty cool to play around with though but... sparkles ... yes, certain things will give your vampires sparkles in this game without a mod. WHY?! D:<
TS4 - The best EA and Maxis have EVER done with vampires in The Sims franchise. There had to have been some Dracula fans working on this because of the mist power, vampire creation as an ability, bat forms and all the mind manipulation powers available. Not only that but I love the weakness system added in as well so we don’t have god-like vampires. I love my vampires but they’re not Hades. My only complaint is that the game seems to punish “good” vampires that are loners by making plasma fruit and plasma packs barely fill the thirst bar without a mod.
