Since I got the Vampires add-on, I wanted to play around a little bit with it. Just to see what I could do with it. Naturally, this begins with character creation.
- I’ve decided to make a female vampire first.
- She is a Genius Loner Bookworm who wants to be a Friend of Animals.
- I’ve named her Lillie, and randomized her last name until I found Covarrubias, because I wanted to find an absurdly long surname. Vampires need absurdly long surnames, and there’s only so many characters allowed in the names field.
- Oh, I get to add a Dark Form? Well. Well, I like this.
- Well. It’s taken me twice as long to even get her set up as I want her to be. But that was a lot of fun.
- I see. You have to add a pet like a family member. This bitch is getting a kitten.
- OMG. I have named the kitten Meryl. She has a skeleton pattern, and I have given her a raccoon voice. I don’t know why I did that, but it was an option, so it happened.
- Of course, I’ve decided to put my vampire in Forgotten Hollow. I mean. I have to, right? It’s like the rule of Goth girls making Sims vampires. The first one has to go in the vampire place. It might even be a law.


Here’s Lillie!

And Meryl! Meryl is way too cute.

A vampire and her kitten. (Sorry it’s blurry. I didn’t realize it when I took the photo.
- SHE WON’T STAY INSIDE. WHY WON’T SHE STAY INSIDE?!?!?! IT’S DAYTIME! SHE KEEPS BURNING. YOU’RE A VAMPIRE. STAY INSIDE.
- Well, her house is kind of a run down mess, and I can’t afford to do much to fix it up outside of changing colors, but who puts a green toilet in a vampire’s house? Really. She’ll be moving out of this as soon as possible. This is absurd. No vampire should live like this.
- Lillie’s neighbor has come over, his name is Caleb. I think he’s another vampire?
- Oh no. She just tried to impress him with her vampire powers, and she failed at doing them. That’s really embarrassing.
- Lillie is really not a very good vampire. She’s trying to sleep at night. Poor kiddo.
- Oh fuck. I totally forgot to buy cat supplies. Meryl is doing the kitty peepee dance.
- I’m a little disappointed that I can’t play as the cat. I mean. It seems like something I should be able to do. At least she figured out the litter box without being trained, since that’s apparently not something I can do, either. And for such a tiny little kitten, she sure does expel a lot of shit. A LOT OF SHIT.
- Caleb has asked her out to the mischief festival? She said okay. She’s discovered he carries an umbrella, and that seems like a really smart thing to do. She’s gonna have to figure out where to get one. (Meaning, I’m gonna have to figure out where to get her one.) The festival is okay. She doesn’t know anyone yet, though, so she’s having a hard time playing pranks (she joined the dark side), and she lost a lot of her vampire power because she’s hungry, the plasma that she was gifted doesn’t seem to satisfy long. Lillie’s decided to try to compel a stranger into a deep drink, which has gone okay, though I don’t think this poor woman is ever going to be her friend now.
- The festival ended, and Caleb just left. Just, fucked off without saying goodbye. Rude.
- Meryl is obsessed with the toilet…
- And now Meryl is no longer a kitten. That was really fast. I don’t like how fast that was. She’s also very naughty, she keeps getting on the counter and does not care what Lillie says about it.
- Lillie has now met another vampire by the name of Salma, and is torn between some stranger danger feelings, and wanting to get trained to be a better vampire. Which she really desperately needs.
- It weirds me out that Lillie spends so much time browsing parenting forums, and looking at parenting websites. Not to mention outright getting into arguments on parenting forums. Like. What does she want here? A little baby vampire? A little baby human? A human she can make into a vampire? She’s a loner. What does she think this is going to do for her, and how the hell does she think it’s going to be possible in her tiny shithole house? She doesn’t even have a love interest, and I’m not letting her adopt on her own without proof that she can STOP GOING OUT INTO THE SUN. Goddamnit, Lillie.
- Caleb is taking Lillie out to a concert. He’s a really nice guy, keeps checking in on her to make sure she’s getting settled in the neighborhood, taking her places, being her friend. She seems pretty indifferent about him, though. Or maybe they’re not going to a concert? I think Caleb just stood her up. He’d better be ill.
- Lillie’s mysterious benefactor is Vladislaus Straud. He’s decided to become her mentor.
- Meryl … wants babies I guess? I had to look this up, I didn’t understand what was going on with the floaty hearts. Maybe I should let her have babies? Am I prepared for tiny kittens? More importantly, is Lillie?
- Lillie took Meryl to a cat hang out, I’m not entirely sure, but I think Meryl was flirting with a cat named Mayor Whiskers. I don’t know if anything has happened. I don’t know how to tell, other than to wait to see if there are kittens. I think he might be a little put off by her raccoon noises.
- Caleb asked Lillie to the circus, and then didn’t show again. I don’t know what’s happening here.
- Caleb and Lillie have taken to vampiric sparring in her front yard…
- Caleb decided he wanted to go to the Flea Market, and he finally showed up for it. I don’t mean to say that Lillie fighting him in her front yard had anything to do with it, but I mean, the evidence is right there. He bailed on her twice, then she kicks his ass, and he shows up for the third time. He did, however, abandon her there again, so she went off to the nearby karaoke bar, and participated in the contest, despite the fact that she’s never sung before. She did not win.
- Lillie has leveled up to a Prime Vampire, and has taken the weaknesses of Guilty Drinker – she feels bad when she takes plasma without permission, and Sleep Of The Undead – she has to sleep in a coffin.
- I don’t think Meryl is going to have kittens. I’m kinda sad for Meryl.
