How to Become a Vampire in The Sims 4

Everyone knows that to become a vampire, you have to be bitten by a vampire. The Sims 4 developers think they can't rewrite rules that have been around for centuries. The only method of becoming a vampire available in normal gameplay is to find a vampire and have it bite you. However, simply becoming their food target won't do the trick. Instead, you need to get to know each other or even make friends. Here's how:

1. Find a vampire and introduce yourself. You can visit one of the homes in Forgotten Hollow.
   
2. Make sure the chosen vampire has the “Create Vampire” skill.
   
3. Talk to the vampire until your relationship level reaches Acquaintances or Friendship. This will unlock the necessary interaction.
   
4. While talking to the vampire, select the "Ask to turn" interaction.
   
5. Wait for the vampire to bite your Sim's neck.
   

The transformation will not be immediate. You will first experience the "Strangely Hungry" moodlet, which will change to "Disgusted with Food" after approximately 12 hours of play. After another 12 hours of play, "Disgusted with Food" will change to "Lost Appetite" and your Sim will feel nauseous while eating.

While transforming, a cloud of purple smoke will surround your Sim. When the transformation is about to complete, the purple smoke will turn black and lift your Sim into the air.

After another 12 hours of gameplay, you will receive a notification that your Sim is finally becoming a vampire. Once the transformation is complete, your Sim will receive a “Strange Thirst” moodlet. You probably know what that means.

2. When your Knowledge of Vampires skill is high enough, your Sim will be able to purchase Garlic Seeds.
   
3. Buy garlic seeds and plant them. You will need as many complete planters as possible to learn how to make garlands and garlic wreaths.
   
4. When you have enough garlic, click on some in your inventory and make garlic decorations out of them. Then hang them anywhere in your home to keep vampires away.
   
5. Keep building up your Vampire Lore skill. Be sure to also develop the Fitness skill, as you will need it to fight vampires.
   
6. Learn vampire lore until you can plant wolfsbane and plasma fruit. Always keep some in your garden as you can make useful potions from these plants.
   
7. When you reach Vampire Lore skill level 15, brew The Ultimate Vampire Cure cocktail. It takes 10 garlic, 10 plasma fruit and 10 wolfsbane. You will also have to pay 2.500 simoleons.
   
8. Make sure your Fitness skill is maxed. Next, find a Vampire of the Medium category and select the "Kill Vampire" interaction. If you can't see the interaction, you'll need to escalate your relationship with the vampire first.
   
9. If your Sim is strong enough, they will project The Ultimate Vampire Cure at the vampire to turn them into a human. You can't actually kill a vampire.
   

How to Become a Master Vampire in The Sims 4

Becoming a Vampire Master or Grand Master takes a lot of dedication. It cannot be achieved in a few simple steps but rather requires a whole set of actions and regularity. Follow the instructions below to start building your Vampire Rank in Sims 4:

1. After becoming a vampire, start doing the usual vampire stuff - drinking plasma and using your powers.
   
2. Click on yourself and select "Dark Meditation" from the options. Do it regularly.
   
3. Meet a friendly vampire and participate in the "Sparr" interaction. Repeat regularly.

3. There are four books in total that cover 15 levels. Keep buying and reading books until you can buy Plasma Seeds and Plasma Fruit.
   

When you meet a vampire of a higher rank, ask him to train. This step is essential to becoming the Master Vampire.

Gradually, your vampire rank will increase. You can track progress by clicking the book icon at the bottom of the "Needs" tab. There, you'll see your power points organized by rank: Flight (1-2), Minor (3), Prime (4), Master (5), and Grand Master (6). With each ranking, you will have to choose new strengths and weaknesses. There are 11 weaknesses in total, where even Grandmasters have at least five.

If you don't have time to study vampire knowledge, train and fight other vampires, you can become the master vampire using a cheat. Follow the steps below:

1. Simultaneously press the "Ctrl", "Shift" and "C" keys to bring up the command console.
   
2. Type “testingcheats true” and press “Enter” to enable cheats.
   
3. Press the "Ctrl", "Shift" and "C" keys simultaneously again and type "stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1058". Then press “Enter”.
