Vampire Basics
In The Sims 4, a Sim can become a vampire either by birth or by being turned by another vampire. These creatures of the night have distinct characteristics separate from normal Sims. Vampire Sims possess a Vampire Energy meter instead of the typical energy meter that other Sims have. This special energy is used to perform various vampire powers and is replenished through sleep or dark meditation.
Vampire Ranks:
- Fledgling
- Minor Vampire
- Prime Vampire
- Master Vampire
- Grand Master
- Vampire Tycoon
Advantages and Limitations
Vampires in The Sims 4 hold several advantages over their human counterparts.
They have the ability to live eternally, providing they avoid sunlight, which is harmful to their wellbeing. Vampires also gain skills at an accelerated rate at night and have access to supernaturally enhanced social interactions.
With their powers, they can do things like control other Sims’ minds or turn into bats.
However, their powers come with limitations.
Vampires have specific needs, such as thirst for plasma, which can be satiated through plasma packs, plasma fruit, or by drinking from other Sims. They are also vulnerable during the day and must manage their exposure to sunlight to avoid adverse effects.
Common Limitations:
- Weakness to sunlight
- The requirement of plasma to sustain Vampire Energy
- Societal fear and Misunderstanding, affecting relationships with non-vampire Sims

Players must first enable cheats by opening the cheat console with CTRL+SHIFT+C and typing testingcheats true.

Vampire Power and Weakness Cheats
In The Sims 4, vampires have unique powers and weaknesses that can be customized through cheats, giving players immediate control over their supernatural gameplay experience.
Acquiring Vampire Powers
To acquire vampire powers without the natural progression, players use specific cheats. After enabling cheats with testingcheats true, players can add powers such as Super Speed or Mind Control using the bucks.unlock_perk command followed by the appropriate perk name and player ID. Here are a couple of examples:
- Super Speed: bucks.unlock_perk VampiricSpeed_Level3 true 40961 {simID}
- Mind Control: bucks.unlock_perk MindControl_Level3 true 40961 {simID}
These cheats are directly entered into the cheat console window, accessible with CTRL+SHIFT+C on PC or Command+Shift+C on Mac.
Each power is unlocked by replacing {simID} with the vampire Sim’s unique ID, which can be obtained with the Sims.Get_Sim_ID_By_Name {FirstName} {LastName} cheat.
Eliminating Vampire Weaknesses
Players may also use cheats to eliminate the weaknesses that vampires suffer from, such as uncontrollable hissing or the need to sleep. Like acquiring powers, removing a weakness requires entering a specific cheat into the console.
One has to input the following cheat to reset all vampire perks, which effectively allows re-allocation and removal of weaknesses:
- bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40961 {simID} false
Substitute {simID} with the appropriate Sim ID to action this cheat. This cheat resets the perks, allowing a player to customize their vampire Sim’s powers and weaknesses from scratch.
Curing Vampirism
For players looking to revert their vampire Sim back to a regular Sim, the cheat traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire can be utilized. After inputting this command in the cheat console, the Sim will lose all vampiric traits and return to a normal human state.
