For those who play with vampires... a question on the Vatore Siblings

We all know that Vlad dresses in Victorian clothing and has lore placing him around the era as well as the Noble Vampires, I kind of place the Virtuous Vampires in the 90's and the Rebellious Vampires in the 80's, but what about the Vatores? Now I know Miss was shown to have turned Caleb, however, I still find it hard to place them as he and his sister's outfits are drastically different. Just curious about your thoughts and ideas.

The 1st thing I’ll do after buying a new pack is to change the premade’s clothes…
For Caleb, I always think that he was turned by Miss 🐸🐸🐸🐸 when he was just graduated from high school (according to MCCC, he is on his 1st day of YA when you start to play his household)
He may have something lemon with Miss H when they were high school students…
☝🏻For example☝🏻
At least I’m writing a novel like this

Followed a timeline leading up to different events.
I love the CC they have on and I would love to read the novel

@Celticgamer0 Someone did a more "Vampire-ish" remake of the Valtore siblings. Instead of having them to replace mine, I made them the parents of the Valtore siblings. Morticia and Ghoere"
They could either be half-siblings (from one vampire), blood-siblings (from two vampires), or adoptive/chosen siblings (no blood relation). If they had the same sire (or at least a common goal/enemy), it would make sense.
If you take the trailers as "word of god", then the Vatores are off-shoots of the rebellious vampires, and are also from the 80's. Lilith just dresses like a goth-punk, and Caleb likes being stylish.
I also put in an AMAZING building for their 'lot.
The way I play Lililth and Caleb is as "good" vampires. Not conformists, but also not all out rebels either.
Their parents are not quite "evil", yet Morticia could be considered a classic gothic Victorian Vampire. She's always out trying to use her abilities to manipulated and tease and control the "living". Ghoere is more of a romantic and a visionary. Trying to find ways for their son and daughter to live in the modern world without being "old-fashion" Vampires.
This is not a happy story...it is full of tears and regret
Background: around 1,000 years after the epidemic
At least in Sims 4, Vampires don't have that most TERRIFYING blah...
Seriously, I originally suspected Vampires would be gross and dull (or stupid) like some other games.
However, I found in Sims 4, after buying the pack, are actually quite interesting and fun.
Anyway, Caleb and Lilith were posh orphans in the classical era / Enlightenment. Caleb is like a gentleman vampire who is really comic and kind of laughs at humanity. He has not fallen in love because he doesn't even understand it. Meanwhile his friend Max runs all over town.
I'll admit that I haven't connected with Lilith as much. I have really clear picture of Caleb who is also kind of a glam rocker / Rocky Horror character and fashion photographer. He parties with models and barely sleeps. Lilith is more like the pesky little sister. She has developed a crush on Max but currently Max only dates mortals because he is a commitmentphobe. Since vampires do not die, that would be an intense commitment. Currently she plays the organ badly and they party together as a little group.
I think vampires are sociopathic but admittedly they can be light fun. I kind of like having comic vampires.
(Despite a word being part of a canon Sim's name, it's censored on-site so I'll just use an asterisk so people know who I'm talking about.)
Caleb was head over heels for Annabelle He*l, and spent a lot of time with her. However, what he wanted was more casual than what she wanted, and she wanted to live with him forever- of course she was a vampire, so that could be arranged- so she turned him, but he managed to get away. Of course Constantino doesn't believe he's been bitten by a vampire (yet). Lilith warned Caleb over and over about her since she didn't trust Annabelle at all, but she of course had no idea she was a vampire.
Not too long after, Caleb becomes pretty ill during the transformation period, to the point where Lilith worries he's going to die. That night when Lilith is sleeping, I imagined that in the late stages of the transformation a vampire would go into some sort of deep trance or otherwise state of unconsciousness, so when that happens Constantino pretty much just dumps Caleb somewhere in a rural area (near Forgotten Hollow). Whether it's fear that he may actually be a vampire after initially not believing him, or because his dad disowned his son over not doing what he wanted him to, probably a bit of both. Their father then tells Lilith that he died, and of course she's heartbroken by this.
Caleb is taken in by a kind farmer who notices how ill he looks, so Caleb returns the favour helping him out on the farm, and learns a lot about working-class life in the process. The food the farmer gives him doesn't agree with him at all given the transformation period, but he eats it anyway as to not look like some ungrateful rich kid. Some nights in, that's when the thirst takes over and Caleb ends up killing one of the farmer's pigs in the night by draining its blood. Flooded with guilt, he runs away, and as a result has no chance to properly thank the farmer for what he did for him (although he does leave him all the money he has on him at that point).
He writes a letter to Lilith saying he's still alive, and she's livid that her father lied to her. He told her Caleb had been 'possessed by the devil' , but she realises her brother could never be so cruel and sets out to look for him. I don't know how long it took her to find him, they then came to live in the Forgotten Hollow next to Vlad, who considered them weak and foolish. For hundreds of years, Vlad and the Vatores never got along terribly well. The huge painting of Vlad in-game, in-'universe' was commissioned by Vlad and painted by Caleb, who was constantly having to make changes to it due to Vlad's fussiness, and only took on the job because of the money. One of the rejected versions is in the Vatore house and the siblings use it as a dartboard. : P
However, unknown to Caleb for over one hundred years, Lilith had Vlad turn her (I can't remember what lie she'd told him). She wanted to live forever and not just through her creations. She dreamed that, one day, people like her would have more freedom in society, so she'd be able to actually pursue her business idea as a result. In the modern day, she eventually manages to set up a shop after doing a lot of work for individual clients, specialising in luxury clothing. Eventually, after years of being a vampire, Caleb is helped by his eventual wife to make a cure. Lilith is reluctant at first but decides to take the cure a bit later.
Personality-wise, Caleb is materialistic, very formal, and still a bit stuck in the past, preferring to do most things the old-fashioned way. Lilith is more outgoing, but she is very in touch with the modern world and often laughs at her brother for being so old-fashioned.
Out of interest what ideas do you have for them, backstory/personality wise? I’d love to know : O
Trying to keep it T for Teen, I hope you like it
The cool thing about "Vampires" (story-wise) is you can play them as immortal (not aging) without it getting weird after 6 or more generations and they are still there.
