Vampire pack worth getting?

I know I just missed the sale but I've been wondering is the vampire pack worth getting? The only thing I don't want are my sims randomly turning into vampires! I remember someone saying there is a way you can turn this off like in game options, your sims will still get bit but not turn? The only reason I want to get the pack is because I've been wanting to make a supernatural kind of family, a ghost, alien, vampire, and a werewolf! I would need the werewolf pack as well! Wonder if there will be another sale soon?

Yes, the notion that vampires cannot enter a home without being invited is cannon folklore, I believe. Of course, the rules are always changing with the new gen vampires these days...
I recommend searching for sims 4 vampire gameplay videos to see content creators featuring the pack, that'll give you an idea of what to expect.
It is, in my opinion, one of the best sims4 packs.
As for the sale, Black Friday is coming up in a few weeks, so I expect there to be another sale around that time.
I've bred and evolved Garlic up to Perfect level plants - it takes a while, but perfect produce is looked upon favourably by Sims who receive it as a gift. So I have been giving it as a friendly gift to known Vampire Sims. They carry it around with them, and their poor confused Sim brains can't work out why their vampire powers won't work, and why they keep throwing up. Good times.
I'm quite happy with my purchase of the Vampires pack. If it is available on sale, it might be worth picking up. There's some good CAS and Build mode stuff too.
Vampires, in my opinion, are OP, not as much as mages, but nontheless...
They require a time, though, to get powerful. First they are a little annoying, they don't want to eat, fear sun and have so much thirst...

Occasionally, not often, but sometimes, vampires will turn up at your sim’s houses at night, but you can stop them entering by clicking the entrance doors to the building. I’ve never seen one actually try to bite my sim autonomously after years of playing, but they can do it, it’s just rare.
Oh as for the sales, they tend to happen every 2 months so you won’t have to wait long to get it at a reduced price if you have the patience.
I think it's a solid pack, so if you like vampires, I'd go for it. Just one word of warning, though---Forgotten Hollow only comes with like 5 lots, and only 1 or 2 of them is buildable
The mods for the pack are splendid, especially those by Zero.

As for gameplay though, they've added the ability to turn off vampire visits in game options, so you no longer have to worry about someone breaking in while you're trying to sleep. The game may generate townies who are vampires, but I haven't had any sims turned without my permission.
If you get the werewolves pack, you can also change game settings so that werewolves won't appear in-form outside of Moonwood Mills, unless you're playing them. One last tip, since you're considering a family: Werewolves and vampires have some unique interactions, and the werewolf pack comes with lore for werewolves, vampires, and spellcasters.

Vampires are not forced upon you. Besides from seeing them and the odd attack on your sim late at night which is extremely rare (and funny) you can pretty much ignore if you want.
You get forgotten hollow which is a quirky little world, not the biggest but it’s got a nice occult feel to it. You also get a new skill for vampire lore, and can read about them on computers and order books. And a music skill for pipe organ.
It has good CAS and build buy. Not ‘I’m going to use this in everything’ but not ‘I’m never going to touch this’ either. If you’re playing as vampires or other occults you’ll probably use it a bit. And even if you’re not, you’ll use the vampires stuff from time to time. Again you get the pipe organ and more selection for teeth.
I haven’t explored playing as vampires but I think there’s quite a bit of gameplay there. You could just do it once or you can play as vampire long term if that appeals to you. People do let’s plays and legacy’s and filling forgotten hollow with occult sims is quite popular. Vampires can go to school and work and university etc.
I just have it as an add on without really playing it, and it affects the game more than most game packs do (in a good way). I like to see vampires around and I like to have access to their CAS and builds items. It’s not a must have unless you really want to be a vampire but it’s got quite a bit in it and will keep you entertained for a little while at least and perhaps longer. I say yes on sale, and probably no at full price unless you really want vampire and can’t wait. It wouldn’t be a horrible mistake even at full price, it’s a solid pack. 🧛♂️
I bought it for the Vampires, but it does have a Goth/Occult vibe going for it.
There is a new world, it isn't the biggest world, but I do enjoy it.
You get a power grid, and you can either have your Sim get bitten to become a Vampire, or create one in the CAS. Also to note, the Vampire power gird thing was used for Werewolves and Spellcasters in later packs.
The main NPCs are Lillith, Caleb, and Vlad.
One thing is a tutorial you current Sim could be bitten, so to avoid too many Vampires you can lock the door to them.
I wanted Vampires, but with Vlad on the loose, I ended up locking to doors to the Vampires, because he kept biting my Sims.
I overall enjoy the pack, because I love the Occult packs, but you can still enjoy it without the Occult.
There's a lot of gothic Victorian style to both CAS and Build/Buy, as well as items to make a building look nicely run down. There's some cool gargoyle statues, spider webs (that have active spiders!) murky plants, dramatic wallpaper,...and in CAS there's a variety of Vampire features, fang types, glowing and creepy eyes and really cool outfits.
The Vampire powers are awesome and there's a great selection that allows you to customize your Vampire's strengths and balance it out with weaknesses. Vampires can also battle each other and Werewolves too, if you get that pack.
Also, Vlad is the best NPC in the game. I said what I said. 😁
The vampire life form is detailed and well created. The world is small but is perfect for storytelling. BB comes with many items I also use in other houses than vampires. And there is some nice CAS although they are better with vamps or historical settings.
PS: I did not read this entire thread. I do not own the Magic pack, I imagine that if already having the Magic pack, the Vamp pack BB might add less new stuff to the party.
If you decide to get it I recommend getting the vampire invasion fix since they were removed from the game. It adds a little bit of excitement.

Tiny correction to that, if you dont like premade houses, buldoze and all 5 lots sure are buildable, not like special lot types or like that
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
That's vampires for you
