What Do You Think About Vampires?

I thought it would be interesting to get everyone's opinion on vampires? I have a couple questions to start the discussion:
1. What kind of pack will they come in? (ex: Supernatural, Game Pack, Expansion Pack)
2. Will you be able to create them in CAS?
3. When will they come?
4. Are you excited or not? Why?

1. A Game Pack which is dedicated to them (See the SimsVIP post from yesterday or it might have been the day before - I'm losing track of days during the holidays!)
2. Yes. I think this is part of why there was a patch so we can create Alien disguises in CAS (I am soooo happy about that!). I think it was prep for a Vampire pack
3. Very, very soon, based on the SimsVIP article from the other day: the text to promote the pack in-game is already in place. I'm just going to go ahead with "next month" on this.
4. Not yet. I've never been big on the vampires in Sims. On the other hand, in the last few years I finally binged Buffy (and just started a re-binge yesterday afternoon, as comfort TV while I couldn't do anything but lie on the sofa for most of a day) and the whole Shadowhunters book series, and maybe I could get into vampires. So we'll see. It could happen.
I agree with all you said... I'm skeptical but I believe they can bring us great things!
"Important content" is kind of subjective, though? What's important for one player might not be important for another.
BUFFY
As usual @luthienrising well said. I'm with you on all but #4. I'm so excited I'm weeing a little as I type.
Not overly excited because I have rarely played them in past series. I will likely buy it eventually though because I like a full sims game. And just in case I want to try playing them at some point.
What is important to you might not be important to some . To me laundry , is not necessary . (And I thought it was time consuming in 3). While others enjoy that feature . Like vampires are not important to you , but to supernatural players like me . The are very important to families in my game.
The fact that there will not be a new world with the Game Pack is one disappointment already. The game files seem to indicate a destination location perhaps the size of Magnolia Promenade. I also seriously hope the walking animation that was found is not the way the vampires will walk as it has to be the worst walking animation in the game so far and I actually quite like a few of them.
It was pretty obvious that the update to aliens is what to expect with vampires in CAS. Just goes to show that aliens should have had that functionality from the get-go. Least we have it now and it has allowed me to play with aliens once again now I can finally customize them exactly how I want to.
I'd imagine Feb will be the release month as I think Jan may be too soon as the team have all been on holiday etc. But this is just a guess.

But my biggest fears are:
* Unnecessarily-spawned vampire townies (Seriously, give us one Grand Vampire, and let us create/sire the rest)
* Underwhelming gameplay (such as requiring friendship before we can bite people), or few (if any) real advantages.
I am a bit anxious that the vamps may end up being underwhelming and have even less gameplay than past sims games....

Probably, like aliens.
Not as soon as I want them to.
Yea verily!
Been a vampire fan since I was a kid.
Like a lot of people, I'm hoping that the vampire population will be low, and will have to be actively activated (sort of like it was in ts2). I get the feeling that this may be how it will work, and to access the original in game vampire, you'll have to visit the destination world, and gain the curse of immortality, which you can then bring home, and spread to whatever sims you want. Or just make more in cas.
As of right now, I do not know what to think or how I really feel about vampires. I enjoyed them in TS2 because the concept had never been done in the Sims series, but I am just not as excited as I use to be with the Sims.
Why would you think that vampires will have less gameplay than before? What is this based on? Vampires have been given their own GP just for them and their gameplay. That's more than ever before.
Just an irrational anxiety based on being somewhat disappointed with a couple of things in the past (like not having home businesses, not being able to cook in our own restaurants, not being able to have apartments outside of the EP world, non-animated elevators, festivals not having too much new stuff, etc, etc) so I am trying not to hype too, too much about the newer packs in order to avoid lots of disappointment on my part, lol.
Thinking about it some more, though, I have enjoyed the GPs and SPs much more than the EPs, so it may end up being packed with enough new content to satisfy me.
I am just worried about getting excited, and then getting severely disappointed when being told about things being cut, or hearing about lots of limitations, and so on.

If we got a vampire GP on par with Spa Day GP, I'd be well pleased.
OMG, yes, I would love that, too!

2. Of coarse
3. Late January early February its got to be coming soon they are already patching it in
4. Not excited never used supernatural Sims don't see myself starting now
In my opinion the game packs have been better with animations, focused gameplay and made more sense than the EPs. It seems they took their time with animating many of the things in Spa Day I wished they would have spent that much time on correct animations for base and the EPs.
Even though I really like the idea of a supernatural game pack, I think there are other things that should be included in the game first (like mentioned before: toddlers,pets and etc.)
I remember having vamps and witches on sims 2, though. It was cool to become friends with them or even become one but stopped being so interesting after a while.
So, I would buy this pack but imo it would be much more worthy if it could give you more than vampires (Hairstyles, aspirations, clothes, careers, furniture)
GP.
3. Will you be able to create them in CAS?
Yes.
5. When will they come?
January/February
7. Are you excited or not? Why?
No, I never ever played with vampires. But there are many players that are much into supernaturals, so never mind.
This.
I hope that TS4 vampires have a very slow thirst decay. Like, they need to hunt every 3 or 4 days, so they won't have to rely on junk food and fruits like in TS3.
