Anyone starting to get bored of vampires?

I am kind of wondering what to do with my vampires now.
You can't really play 'dark' vampires - ie sinisiter and scaring Sims.
Vampires in TS4 might as well be goths or something like that - they are almost like sharp-toothed clowns.
They just lack bite - they just are not scary or dark.
Hopefully a slightly darker vampire mod will be released.

Sims do not react at all terrified by them.
You bite someone in public and Sims act like you threw a drink in the Sim's face or something - it's not proper fear.
They don't cower or move away.
They act like a vampire is a regular thing.
What happened to them for this pack?
I want VISUAL emotions - not some namby-pamby moodlet.
Something visual.
I think the problem for me is emotions in general in the game. There is for some bizarre reason no fear emotion. In fact for me the emotions are incredibly disappointing. They don't really tie into anything are make the Sims feel in anyway unique. Most of the time my Sim is happy or confident. Doesn't change the way my Sim interacts or the way I play. As a result of the emotions the traits have taken a back seat as well.
But I've gone off topic. A proper afraid emotion is needed. Where the Sim cowers to something that comforts them like a close friend or loved one, or hides under their bed sheets. Something like that.
I find some of the vampires that have been shared on this forum very frightening in their dark form and that is a first for any sims game. They are not using any cc to do this either so as a player it does give me chills from time to time.
I also find the gameplay particularly dark with this pack. I mean, my vamps can literally enslave others and depending on what skills you pick for your vamp they can do just about anything they want to any sim.
Memory wipe
Seduction-though it's not called that
Mind control
murder via emotional overload
They don't have to ask for anything, they can take what they want. This pack can be as dark as you choose it to be.
I am not sure what else you are looking for unless it's a first person shooter, which will never be the sims.
As for the dark gameplay. Because of the rating and everything, these vampires are dark enough. I'm fine waiting for mods to add a "deadly bite" interactions and having vampire hunters do more than "cure"
Maybe you can make a club of vampires with this club trait and see if that adds to the suspense when you go to areas with your club?
However, I welcome any mods that enhance vampire play.
I have a scientist who has been using the freeze ray quite a bit because all his dates keep getting interrupted.
One change I did notice, though; maybe it's been around awhile, but I haven't been playing for awhile. My vampire killed the butler (woops -- they were good friends but sometimes murder is just what a vampire does) and he went into mourning. I could not override that sad buff with other emotions, not even the +8 to emotion of choice trait that both he and his wife have.
I also learned that mourning at a tombstone while that sad buff is on stacks another mourning buff. He was pretty miserable.
But, I'm the type that always tries to find a positive side of anything. So what I enjoy about the vampires is they live long. So I'm planning to have my main sim get to the top of the Tech job. I've never done that before because my sims usually die of old age before I can get to the top of a job. So after she gets to the top of the tech job I just might cure her and her husband of being a vampire and let them die naturally. I'll then pick one of their sons to take over and work with him to get to the top of another job.
As an aside, there doesn't seem to be any difference between a normal quality and a pristine quality plasma fruit (I don't have a perfect tree yet). To get more plasma fruit, though, you can use the grafting ability on a tomato plant. That generally will get you five plasma fruit a day from one plant.
Most of my time is setting up the back story and the players in it.
