    And scattered about the forums outside this thread:
    Plasma Trees, Wolfsbane, & Garlic are the new harvestables for the pack.
    Garlic makes for a WONDERFUL Vampire defense. (provided, of course, the Vampire isn't immune to its effects)
    Collect stacks of garlic and turn it into Braids & Garlands. Place those around the home and Vamps will generally want to avoid it. But if the Vamp has Power that allows them to be resistant to garlic.... yikes. In that case I would highly suggest good Vamp Lore knowledge to maintain a healthy supply of Vampire Resistance Cocktails.

    In CAS, can we make families of humans and vamps and them be related? (sibling/parents?)
    Yes.
    Vampires can have day jobs. They'e safe at work. So as long as they can make it there they'll be fine.
    Now, can the Vampire make it to the end of the block after they leave their house to go to work?
    Vamps metabolize super efficiently so no bathroom breaks needed; even if they eat/drink normal food. They still gain weight if they suck too much though. (It's actually kind of hilarious to see your Vampire get a bit round & pudgy after going on a major plasma bender)

    So if I'm understanding this right, vampires can't initially turn sims into vampires unless they have the power to do so?
    Correct. Vampire Creation is a Tier 2 power. So it's available to purchase after your first rank up.
    As long as you know how to make the Draught of Reconfiguration (learned from Vamp Lore skill) you can reset your Powers and choose them again.
    I'm almost certain we'll have the marketing Sims up on the gallery at Vampires launch. SimGuruGeorge will follow up to make sure.
    If he fails I will cast 'Drain Life Spirit' on him.
    (Vlad lives in the Mansion. Caleb & his sister live in another FH home. The rest of the Sims were just for the videos.)
    No autonomous curing.
    Organ = 10 levels. (We could have gone the easy route and just tied it to piano skill, but where's the fun in that!? There's so many new songs for the Pipe Organ it naturally made sense to give the object its own skill.)
    Vamp Lore = 15 levels. (But each level ranks up faster than the normal 10 lvl skill. LOTS of unlocks to be found under this skill. VERY useful for Vamps & Humans alike)
    ^^ In this modern day and age the computer is the best place to start. Some quick research there will lead you to the right books you'll need.

    I know he said Plasma Trees, Wolfsbane, & Garlic are harvestable but what about venus fly trap?

    I'm assuming not from the phrasing.

    @SimGuruNinja In the live stream it was said that Vamp-Kids and Vamp-Tots are Vampires too. Even Though they wont have the powers yet.
    We know they wont have fangs, and we know that genetics will be used by the normal form only. So what if one parent is no Vampire but a normal Sim, and the other Parent is a Vampire that has a pretty normal looking normal form.
    Will we have to wait until the offspring is a teen in order to know if its a vampire, or is there a way to tell a non-vampire toddler from a vamp-tot and a non-vampire child from a vamp-kid?

    Oh so I know what happens when two vampires try for a baby as bats!
    If two vampires “Try for Baby as Bats” their resulting offspring will automatically have the Bat transformation power when they become a Teen.
    I love this.

    I don't see anything creepy about the question I asked him when they specifically said vampires could sneak in a house and bite a sim while their sleeping.

    Putting your sim to bed and randomly seeing a dark figure show up and bite them at night is pretty creepy

    Not that I have a problem with creepy, it's Vampires after all

    OMG!! I definitely NEED to create a new sim for Forgotten Hollow. Forget about the one I am playing with, I definitely need to see this! This GamePack gets better and better by the second!

    VAMPIRE GHOSTS?!?!?! I love you guys so plumming much! They are the ultimate supernatural creature. Two questions though: 1. Do vampire ghosts still hate sunlight, even when they're dead from it? 2. I thought you guys said hybrids couldn't be in the game?

    I think that the Ghosts don't count as hybrids: they're dead other Sims and can't breed.

    Ah, but vampires can create other vamps, vampire family, through turning. Maybe they can still do that as ghosts too.

    Embargo lifted! FYI I've got a preliminary list of mods partly broken by the Vampires GP, mods that seem to be fine, and mods that might not work quite as you expect here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/909882/broken-updated-mods-vampires-toddlers-unembargoed Otherwise, I think it's a good time to let the review crowd take over :)

    Are vampires vulnerable to other types of death, such as electrocution?

    No offense to LGR but I think that was the least explanatory review he ever did

    I'm no dev but I'm 99% sure they are. Biological immortality can't stop a violent death

    They would not be called immortal if we would have to worry about them dying not only from the sun, but also from the other death types. No idea though, we'll have to wait and see for ourselves. I mean vampires are literally so powerful that not even breaking their neck kills them. But again no idea what the creators of this pack had in mind with the term "immortality".

    How awesome would it be if one of the powers in rank 5 immunized the vampire against other kinds of death (except for thirst and sunlight)? Don't get me wrong, the pack is already awesome, but this would be next level haha
