- How To Keep Vampires Away Sims 4
The vampire lore skill is a unique one as it has 15 levels which differs from other skills with their regular 10. However, this skill is extremely easy to gain and the skill can improve really fast.
Do you have the Vampires Game Pack for The Sims 4? If so, maybe you’ve experienced the scariest thing about the game so far and that is a Vampire break in!! I just happened to catch Vlad. In all, the main goal of the vampires is to gain enough plasma, power, and sleep, a new twist that should keep life-simulation players busy. Vampires on “The Sims 4” may have the option to do. When they Woohoo as bats, they can do it right there on the spot. Vampires can also Woohoo in a coffin if they are so inclined, but so too can normal Sims. Vampire Needs: Differences vs Sims. When a Sim transforms into a Vampire (at Teen onward) the Hunger and Bladder needs are replaced by the 'Thirst' motive, which must be satisfied by feeding. Well, here’s my ‘Keep Vampires Away Checklist’ that I’m sure that you’ve been looking for. This is a comprehensive checklist that will require some purchases and allow you to keep a record of everything that you need to keep those pesky vampires at bay. The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack adds the new “Vampire” life state. Aside from being able to find Vampires throughout the game, and turning into one as you play, players can also use the new “Create-an-Vampire” feature in CAS to make a Vampire family right from the start.
Gaining this skill is actually a great way to gain more Vampire XP and be able to purchase more vampire perks so you can become a stronger vampire. As you keep gaining skills in the vampire lore skill you’ll get bonus tips and tricks in your notification panel so you can learn tons.
How to Gain The Vampire Lore Skill
Learning everything about vampire lore is going to be an expensive endeavor since the only way to get past level two is to purchase §1,500 worth of vampire encyclopedia books, so be prepared to spend.
The first thing you want to do is to research information on vampires on the computer. You’ll find this under the vampire secrets menu and this will get you to level two where you’ll learn that you can purchase these books.
You’ll be able to find these books under the vampire secrets menu on the computer as well. There are 4 versions of this book that will each get you through a few levels of the skill.
You’ll just need to read these books to gain this skill, but thankfully growing your vampire lore will also give you vampire experience.
Vampire Lore Skill Levels
There are 15 levels of the vampire lore skill and they are gained through reading the encyclopedia vampirica and each level will unlock new information and abilities for your vampire.
Vampire Lore Level 1
The first level of the skill lets your sims learn about vampires on the computer.
Vampire Lore Level 2
When you reach level 2 your sim unlocks the ability to purchase the encyclopedia vampirica I that will help you get to level 6 of the skill.
Vampire Lore Level 3
At level 3 of the vampire lore skill your sim now unlocks the ability to purchase plasma packs on the computer. This can be found under vampire secrets. These are a consumable that your sims can eat to fill their vampire thirst.
Vampire Lore Level 4
Level 4 of this skill teaches your sims how to make plasma packs out of fish or frogs. This is great in the beginning because your vampire sims are going to need to keep their vampire thirst up. You’ll be able to go searching for fish or frogs at night when your vampire can leave the house safely and turn them into plasma packs.
Vampire Lore Level 5
When you reach level 5 of the vampire lore skill your sims are going to learn how to craft things with garlic. They can make garlic braids, wreaths, and garlic garlands. These are going to help you as a regular sim because these things will keep vampires away.
Vampire Lore Level 6
Being at level 6 of this skill your sims are going to unlock the ability to buy the encyclopedia vampirica volume II which will get you to level 10.
Vampire Lore Level 7
At level 7 of the vampire lore skill your sim will unlock the ability to share vampire knowledge with others.
Vampire Lore Level 8
When you reach level 8 of the skill you will now be able to order seeds on the computer for plasma fruit, sixam mosquito traps, and wolfsbane. Having a plasma fruit tree is pretty necessary for any vampire so they can have a stockpile of things to keep their vampire thirst full.
Vampire Lore Level 9
At level 9 of the skill your sim will learn a few new recipes. The first is the plasma fruit salad and the second is a new drink, the plasma jane. These are going to fill up your sim’s vampire thirst instead of just eating plasma packs.
Vampire Lore Level 10
When you reach level 10 your sims are now going to be able to purchase the encyclopedia vampirica volume III which will help you get to level 13 of the skill.
Vampire Lore Level 11
At level 11 of the skill your sims are going to learn how to create the sunlight reversal cocktail which is the best reward. A regular vampire can’t go outside in the sun without dying, and this will allow them to. You’ll need garlic and plasma fruit to create this drink but it’s totally worth it.
Vampire Lore Level 12
When at level 12 of the vampire lore skill your sim will learn how to create the vampire resistance cocktail. This can be consumed by any sim and will make it less likely that they are going to be affected by the negative vampire interactions like sucking blood.
Vampire Lore Level 13
The 13th level of the skill lets your sim purchase the ultimate vampire tome for §1,000. This will let you get to level 15 and max out the skill.
Vampire Lore Level 14
When your sim reaches level 14 of the skill they are going to learn how to craft the draught of reconfiguration. This is a beverage that can be crafted with garlic, wolfsbane, and plasma fruit and will allow you to choose completely new powers for your vampire. It will reset them but let you keep all of your vampire perk points.
Vampire Lore Level 15
At the final level of the vampire lore skill you’re actually going to learn how to create a vampire cure. This is a drink that your sims can create on a bar if they have a high enough mixology skill that will turn them back into a regular sim and make them no longer be a vampire. Your sims are going to need some things to craft this which are: 10 plasma fruit, 10 wolfsbane and 10 garlic. You can learn more about ending your vampirism in this video:
How to Cheat the Vampire Lore Skill
Sometimes we just wanna cheat a skill instead of actually working toward it, there is no shame in that game. You can definitely cheat this skill but first make sure cheats are enabled. You can do this by hitting ctrl + shift + c on your keyboard and typing in testingcheats true and hitting enter. This enables all cheats to work. Then you’ll want to type in stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_hidden_vampirelore 15 and that cheat will max out the skill. If you just want a few levels you can change the 15 to whatever level of the skill you wish to have.
Final Thoughts
Vampire lore is extremely important for any vampire, or any one who may live with a vampire. You’re going to need to know how to create plasma packs and just general tips for surviving as a vampire, plus you can get experience. Happy Playing!
When I say “there’s probably Sims CC for everything,” I’m not exaggerating.
The Sims community is full of crafty creative geniuses that can create pure 3D art.
And if you think hair, clothes, and gameplay are the only things these artists focus on, you’d be surprised! There’s a whole slew of custom teeth for Simmers like us to enjoy.
I didn’t even notice the difference teeth could make in-game. Until I tried these downloads for myself.
1. EA Teeth Begone! – Default Replacement Teeth by Pyxis
This is one of the most popular default replacement mods for TS4 teeth. Not too hard to see why, especially when you look at EA’s default teeth.
The devil’s in the details, as they say. And the detail on EA’s teeth … could be better. It’s not terrible, per se, but it’s a little flat.
Especially once you try Pyxis’ default replacement teeth. They’re this odd combination of 3D and clayified dimensions with a Maxis Match texture that just works.
The base of this replacement mod is ice-creamforbreakfast’s Pearly Whites (which are basically genetic overlays for teeth), but you don’t need to download that mesh to use Pyxis’ default teeth.
There are two file options under the download link: the regular file and a file with “PointyTeeth” tacked on the name. The latter replaces EA’s “gold teeth” set with Pyxis’ “Natural Selection” teeth (which is available individually as a cosmetic overlay, not actual teeth).
Which one you should download totally depends on which set of teeth you use more.
Note: these teeth mods that will replace the default EA teeth, or whatever default teeth you have equipped. Remember that default replacement mods tend to fight one another, so be sure to take out any defaults you’ve got installed before trying this one!
2. Genetic Teeth for Buck, Gap, and Snaggle by Nova JY
This mod adds a dash of realism to your game, genetics-wise.
(As real as you can get with The Sims, anyway).
It’s basically another replacement mod that allows child Sims to genetically inherit their parent’s orthodontic characteristics and concerns.
This means that baby Sally can inherit mom’s eye color, dad’s skin color, and mom’s snaggle teeth.
Vampire Break In Sims 4
Just as nature intended.
Seriously though, it’s a pretty realistic mod all things considered.
I always did find it weird that you had to completely re-enter CAS just to give your child Sims a cute gap tooth or little bunny buck teeth. Since this mod messes with genetics (aka randomization) it shouldn’t fight with any default replacement teeth mods you have installed.
As for the download file, you can actually download the teeth variations individually.
So if you only want buck teeth or snaggle teeth to be genetically passed on, you can do that. Then gap teeth would remain CAS-only.
3. Smoother Buck Teeth by PickyPickachu
Do you find the TS4 buck teeth a little … exaggerated?
Not just me?
Okay, good.
Then download PickyPickachu’s 3D Buck Teeth overlay. It smoothens out the default Sims 4 buck teeth design and makes the two front teeth look a bit less like they’re… oh, I don’t know, bursting out of the gums.
Don’t get me wrong; TS4 graphics are a great blend of cartoony and realistic.
But the default size of the two front teeth in comparison the rest of EA’s pearly whites may lean a little too close to cartoony than some would want. If you’re in agreement, PickyPickachu’s subtler gap teeth CC might be just the fix you’re looking for.
They’re a cosmetic overlay that’ll take on the texture of whatever default teeth you’ve got installed, but you can still find them in the Teeth category.
4. Perfectly Crooked Teeth by Simshini
Just as with the last item, Simshini’s “Perfectly Crooked” tone down the design of TS4’s snaggle teeth just a tad.
The unevenness is a lot more subtle, the jagged edges are a little smoother, and there are much fewer sudden wild cards littered about (or teeth, as the case may be).
I personally don’t mind the default snaggle teeth as much as the buck teeth. But that doesn’t mean other Simmers are in agreement.
If you really want to alter these styles then I totally recommend this download. Just like PickyPickachu’s mod above, this one dials down the ‘cartoony’ side of the graphics and ups the ‘realistic’ stuff just a little.
Find these perfectly crooked bad boys in the Teeth category. There are separate .package files for Vampire Sims and Child Sims. The main .package file works on all genders for Teens up to Elders.
5. Subtle Gap by Simshini
And with this mod, all of The Sims 4’s basic teeth variations have been given their own subtle, smoother, less cartoony versions.
Milder buck teeth, simplified snaggle teeth – it would just be completely remiss if I didn’t include the Subtle Gap Teeth set by Simshini.
And it is exactly what the name suggests: a smaller, slighter gap in the two front teeth.
If you compare it to the base game dimensions, it’s like half a centimeter narrower.
Not a lot, but the difference definitely shows.
This will show up in the Teeth category too, just like the buck teeth and snaggle teeth replacements.
The main .package file works for Teens up to Elders, but don’t worry; there is a separate .package file for your bunny-toothed Child, too.
6. Tooth Fairy for Toddlers by Simshini
Losing baby teeth is a pretty big event in any kid’s life. And slipping those suckers under their pillow in the hopes of some sweet coinage is a huge part of that event.
Actually while I’m on this tangent, EA definitely needs to make this an in-game interaction kids can have with their bed. Make it happen, EA!
Back to the CC.
Simshini is an awesome creator that gives us some teeth CC we didn’t know we wanted. Check out this cute Toddlers-only pack where your lil Sim is missing his two front teeth.
It’s awkwardly adorable in the best way.
Again, it injects a bit of realism in the game and gives us more Toddler content. The Sims gods know we need more toddler CC.
7. Toddler Teeth by Shysimblr
More content for your toddles! Who’s complaining?
Certainly not me.
Not when this CC makes my already-adorable toddlers look like absolute angels. With gummy smiles.
Whereas Simshini’s “Tooth Fairy” toddler teeth knocked out your kiddos two front pearly whites, this one keeps them – and only them.
The rest of your toddler’s teeth are MIA. Which, if you think about it, makes sense. They’re still growing their little peepers in.
In fact, the creator took that into account when designing these. That’s why the gums have some white poking through. How many times can I type “adorable” before it stops looking like a real word?
I dunno, but that’s exactly what these teeth are: adorable.
There are two variations of this CC with separate .package files. You should be able to download and install both without any compatibility or override issues.
8. Colorful Braces by midnightpopsicles
Any ex-buck-toothed, past-brace-face kid will tell you: the only fun part of getting braces has to be the customization.
Getting to pick the color for the rubber bands brought a modicum of excitement to the whole ordeal.
It’s cool that The Sims 4 added braces to the base game, but they’re definitely lacking color. Enter midnightpopsicle’s Colorful Braces CC.
It adds 30 new colors for your Sim’s braces. Mostly solid swatches, but a handful of differently-colored variants are in there to keep things interesting.
Some of the colors (especially the lighter ones) are softer and blend more easily with the teeth. Other shades are bolder, brighter, and more attention-grabbing.
I think this means the color range is versatile enough to suit different styles. 10/10 CC pack, would recommend!
9. Beastly Part 2 – Vampire Fangs by Pyxis
Ever wanted to see a gapped-tooth vampire? Or a vampire with cute bunny teeth?
These cosmetic vampire fang overlays by Pyxis give you exactly that: the option to give your Sims some pretty sweet vampire teeth without taking away their slightly-crooked dental setup.
These fangs are cool, incredibly detailed, and can be mixed-and-matched to your heart’s content.
And since they’re cosmetic overlays, they won’t replace your Sims’ default teeth. They’ll simply add fangs to it while still adopting the dimension and texture of whatever teeth you have equipped.
In other words, if your Sim is wearing braces to correct his (or her) slight overbite, this CC won’t replace that detail. You’ll see the fangs and the braces every time they smile.
Brace-face vampires? High school’s gonna be tough for them.
You can find these bad boys under Head Accessories and they should show up as Earrings.
10. Gun Show – Fangs by Pyxis
How about some mermaid/monster teeth equivalents of those excellent vampire teeth overlays, also by the same creator.
Pyxis’ Gun Show – Fangs will pick up your default teeth texture rather than replacing them entirely. So you can still enjoy these incredibly detailed fangs without having to uninstall your default files.
Does Garlic Keep Vampires Away Sims 4
What’s cooler is that the creator gives us five excellent swatches for these fangs. Yes; swatches.
The only other item on this list with swatches was midnightpopsicle’s Colored Braces! You basically get to choose how pearly white the fangs are, and how dark the insides of the mouth are.
Not something you thought you wanted?
Trust me: that extra customization makes this CC so much better. It’s the little things.
11. Monster – Pointed Teeth by Pyxis
We mentioned Pyxis’ Unnatural Selection teeth earlier, and how it’s a cosmetic overlay (like the vampire fangs and the gun show).
This download is basically the same teeth: just meshed and converted into actual TS4 teeth instead of cosmetic overlays.
Keep Vampires Away Sims 4
And just like the Gun Show CC, these teeth come with four different meshes. They don’t change the color of the teeth much, but they do dictate how dark the mouth is.
Again, customization. I’m a fan.
I think the biggest difference between Gun Show and Monster is really the type of creature they’d suit.
Gun Show looks great for mermaids, sirens, and supernatural beasties.
Monster looks great for human-animal hybrids (like cats or dogs) or full-on shifters. Hey, it’s your narrative. Pick whichever because they’re both great!
12. TS4 Teeth 201901 by S-Club
I will fully admit that this download confused me at first.
I had no idea what was happening in this particular CC. My initial thought was these were cosmetic overlays (like Pyxis’ Beastly vampire fangs) for vampire teeth.
Maybe it would make them look more subtle, glossier, or more realistic? I wasn’t sure. Then I downloaded and tested this out.
Lo and behold; it wasn’t anything vampire-related at all.
These TS4 teeth by S-Club are cosmetic overlays (you can find them in the Skin Details section), but they don’t affect your current default teeth.
What they do is make it seem like your Sim’s mouth is slightly open, displaying just a peep of their pearly whites.
Basically exactly what the picture on the download page shows. Minor, but quite noticeable too.
You know that sultry, barely-open, quasi-pout thing models do for their photos? That’s this CC in a nutshell.
I was so amused; I just had to include it on this list!
