I started out with this guy:
I had wanted to make use of Superspeed to make a Vampire that's more like a superhero. In this case, The Flash. But I quickly realized that as costumes and overall vibe go, I was going to be a bit off. So rather than try to fit a square hole into a black hole (that's totally the real saying, shhh) I decided to go a little offbeat.
Thus, TLC was born... The Llama Coalition! Whenever they hear the phrase "needs some TLC," they come running!
Barry Allen, who my Flash was based on, became Larry Allen: The Dash.
I then added Bruce Dwayne, the Batsim, because what's an imitation of superheroes using Vampires without a character whose theme is bats?
Then of course came someone who many would think of after thinking of Bruce Dwayne. Selina Dyle, aka: Hatwoman!
And so what if Bruce Scanner, aka that insanely dangerous fellow when he's angry: The Bulk, has nothing to do with the Batsim or Hatwoman, or Gothsim city in general. It'd just be missed opportunity not to have a super strong Vampire in a bear suit who gets angry easily!
And finally, this team of misfits and corny approximations needed a leader. A leader who could be a strong, charismatic force for good. A leader who could make use of the conveniently colored red, white, and blue superhero costume. Neve Rogers, aka: Captain Llamerica!
I wanted these to be something I could share with you guys, so I did my best to trim down the number of packs required. To use them fully with the right clothing and whatnot, you'll need City Living, Get Together, and Vampires.
I also made two versions of them for the gallery to share. One is just the base version of them as they were made in CAS. The other has some Powers/Weaknesses/Skills/Aspirations I chose and/or completed for them. A complete list of their powers and weaknesses as Vampires in the Powers version is outlined below.
You can find the first version under the name TLC Crew Base and the second under the name TLC Crew with Powers (Origin ID: Translab)
The powers and weaknesses were chosen as rough character approximations. Gives you something to use right out of the gate to enjoy yourself. Or if you want to take your own angle on it, use the base version or reset powers on the powers version as you please. (Here's a list of some vampire cheats for gaining points or rank without going through the gameplay:

Comments
I'm really not a fan of super heroes, but this actually sounds cool. You could make a sim with super powers, and they could become either super heroes or super villains
Edit: it's a great idea to do that with vampires, too, but then, isn't it kind of funny the super heroes need to drink plasma
Love the quirky names and descriptions.
Lol, yeah, that was one of the reasons I went for a quirky "not quite accurate" portrayal. In the Powers version, I tried to pick out powers and weaknesses to make them more fitting with what kind of person they are. So, for instance, Captain Llamerica I gave completion of the Good Vampire aspiration, Tamed Thirst, things like that. So he'd be the kind of Vampire who is trying to be good.
And then The Bulk... he's always on the verge of losing control and hurting people, with Sloppy Drinker, Guilty Drinker, and Insatiable Thirst.
Thanks! They were fun to put together.
Thanks. I didn't know how much I wanted superheroes in a game like the sims until I went to do this. They really are a joy!
Thank you!
Hehe.
That sounds awesome.

He looks more like Oliver Queen than Barry Alan.
