everything you need to know about vampire offspring
I have seen a bunch of questions on the forums about lots of little different things to do with vampires having children, so I decided to write this up. So let's start at conception:
Vampires can have offspring with literally any sim, provided that one of them can impregnate and the other can get pregnant, however hybrids are not a thing. Yes, even aliens can have offspring with vampires:
What the offspring comes out as depends on the parents. If it's Alien X Vampire, the child has a 50/50 chance of being an alien or a vampire. Same for humans. And it will be 100% vampire if both parents are vampires.
small note: if your both parents are vampires and they have the bat power and do the bat woohoo, the child will inherit bat form and you won't need to buy it.
Now that you have found your vampire lover and delivered your offspring, you're probably asking the question how do I tell if they're a vampire?
There's no way to tell when they're babies. There's various ways to tell when they're toddlers and children.
sign 1: Their CAS will have a little vampire icon right next to their traits:
sign 2: Their needs will look different. As children and toddlers they will still have human needs, but their needs panel will have a vampire symbol. Human needs panel:
Vampire child needs panel:
Now that you identified if your child is a vampire or not, you might be asking "how are vampire children and toddlers different from human children and toddlers?
Toddlers are not different at all. Vampire children don't gain any new interactions, but lose some interactions. Namely "Debate Existence of Vampires", "Confess Fear of Vampires", "Praise Vampire Lifestyle" and "Enthuse about Vampires".
Human child interactions:
Vampire child interactions:
Small note, vampire toddlers and children do have a reflection
Now what about vampire teens?
Vampire teens are the same as a regular vampire. They get their vampire plumbob and as they grow up into a vampire, there's little bats flying around them (I caught one on camera)
the only difference is that they still continue to age as normal until they're young adults and they don't have a master in their family tree (take note that Vlad is listed as father):
As I have no master, I didn't get the game's tutorial. There were no messages, or phonecalls, I just got to jump right into using my powers myself. The child also did not die in the process of aging up. It's a normal age up straight into the vampire lifestage.
Now let's talk genetics.
Normal forms and humans do not inherit from the vampire dark form as far as I could see. However vampire dark form can inherit from their parents dark form. Your vampire child can even have a completely different face in their dark form from their normal form. For example, Vlad's daughter is portrayed in the aging up section (I'll repost it in a spoiler here)
take note how soft her features are. Most of her normal features came from her mother, however in her dark form, she looks very much like her dad:
To compare, here is Vlad in his normal and nosferatu forms:
She completely inherited his dark form eyes (complete with eye circles), her nose is closer to his in her dark form and her lips turn the same way that his does when she enters her dark form.
If you're unhappy with how your child's dark form turned out (especially veins and circles) you can either copy any part of their light-form over, or cheat with CTRL + SHIFT + C to open the console, type in "testingcheats true", then type in "cas.fulleditmode", press down shift, then click on your sim and choose to take them to CAS.
There is also no restrictions when it comes to passing down a vampire skin tone without vampirism, same way that you can have a sim with the alien skin tone that is not an alien.
For example this is a human daughter of Vlad:
Aaaand... That's it!

Ideas on how to improve babies.
well she didn't inherit his whole form. She looks like a mash up of herself and Vlad
Does this happen to all toddlers, or just vampire toddlers? I never had a vampire parent actual do the parenting, so it would be nice to know

Typo
Go go make Vlad steal some babies
random video game tumblr stuff
depends. I wonder can you inherit just the eyes? Because you can inherit just the skin tone :I
The Straud Family Tree
glad that it helped ya
My vampire toddler inherited his dad's white eyes. But when I changed his hairstyle, the eyes changed to normal. Don't know if it was a bug. I changed them again in cas.fulleditmode to white eyes.
Yes, vampire toddlers sleep in their beds.
Rosemary had bat powers and she'd take her toddlers everywhere as a bat.
Also, @mirta000 This is truly epic. Thank you for a fantastic job.
The word "Offspring" as it pertains to vampires, also means any Sim a vampire has turned into a vampire. That also counts as their "offspring" for the purpose of the Vampire Family aspiration.
What I still don't know is if those kind of offspring can also inherit powers from the "parent" vampire. I would think they could.

I think that "offspring" means sims that have been turned into vampires by your sim. Or at least the sim you're playing with.
