It’s common occultist knowledge that vampires have a serious aversion to sunlight, and this holds especially true inThe Sims 4: Vampires game pack. Being out in the sun will drain your vampire Sim’s energy and debuff them with a negative moodlet. If they spend too much time unprotected from the sun’s rays, their energy will drop to zero, and they will become engulfed in flames before ultimately dying.

There are only two ingredients for this cocktail, both unique to The Sims 4: Vampires game pack:garlic and plasma fruit.
You will need to havetwo bulbs of garlic and one plasma fruit for every sunlight reversal cocktail.
For higher quantities, you’ll be fine as long as you remember the2:1 ratio per drink.
Where To Find Garlic
Forgotten Hollow, the new world added by the content pack, containswild garlic plants that can be harvested for garlic bulbs.
You can alsoorder garlic seeds to plant and grow your own.The seemingly small sized order oftwo garlic seeds,purchasable via the computer under the vampire section, can providea harvest of 20 garlic bulbs.
You will needtwo bulbs of garlic for every Sunlight Reversal Cocktailyou wish to make.
Where To Find Plasma Fruit
Theplasma fruit trees scattered throughout the Forgotten Hollowwill provide you with a steady supply of plasma fruit.
Plasma fruit is a very special ingredient that, on its own,provides sustenance for your vampire Sim without needing to quench their thirst via traditional means.It’s a great way to accommodate a vegetarian/pacifist vampire who may not necessarily want to harm other Sims.
Once your vampire Sim reacheslevel eight in the vampire lore skill, you canpurchase plasma fruit seedsdirectly from the computer via the vampire sub-menu. These can then beplanted and grown into plasma fruit treeson your vampire Sim’s lot - a much more convenient way to harvest the uncommon ingredient.
The plasma fruit is also required for two more concoctionsin The Sims 4: Vampire game pack. Two are required for theDraught of Reconfiguration,a drink that allows you toreset your Sim’s vampire powers, and ten are needed forThe Ultimate Vampire Cure- a potion that will completely cure a Sim of vampirism.
