Your Sims will gain access to a range of powers and weaknesses that you can choose to better define what type of vampire they will be. There are quite a few to choose from, some being objectively better than others, and you may even be locked out of a power should you take a specific weakness.
Vampire Powers and Weaknesses Overview
There are five different vampire ranks that your vampire Sim will progress through as they mature and grow:fledgling, minor, prime, master,andgrand master vampire.
Each rank is separated into four levels that, once met, will each provide you withpower pointsthat you can spend on unique vampiric powers, ranging from transforming into a bat,commanding other Sims to do your vampire Sim’s bidding, and preventing need depletion.
Each power has a cost between one to three power points, with some powers having three tiers,growing in strength as you invest more power points in them.
However, upon reaching the next vampire rank,you must take a weakness. While they may begin as being mere inconveniences that you may work around, the weaknesses unlocked in the higher rankscan be quite detrimental for your vampire Sim’s day-to-day un-life.
You aren’t locked into only purchasing vampiric powers or taking on weaknesses for the specific vampire rank that your Sim unlocks. Once your Sim progresses from minor to prime vampire, they can take on any powers and weaknesses from all ranks up to their current.
Each rank contains five powers and two weaknesses, with the exception of the first vampire rank - the vampire fledgling - which has three weaknesses to pick from.
Keep in mind that there are five pairs of powers and weaknesses that conflict with each other, where choosing one locks you out of taking the other. For example,the Fitful Sleep weakness will lock you out of taking the Vampiric Slumber power.
