    @SimGuruNinja When sims are turned into vampires is it instant or do we have to wait a few days like in TS3?

    @SimGuruNinja said on twitter that it's a "gradual process". I would post the link, but I haven't posted here enough for this board to allow me to add one. :)

    I really wish @SimGuruNinja would answer my question about whether there is a new scared emotion or not. :disappointed:

    No new scared emotion.

    That's really disappointing. And I was so excited. I'm sad now. Such a wasted opportunity. :'(
    @SimGuruNinja You guys can't make new emotions ever?

    Somehow I think that their interpretation of hunting and or interpretation is different. I think they mean vampires hunting for their next nibble. While some of us are sitting here excited and imaging making Buffy.

    I really want vampire hunting aka slaying to be a thing.

    But right now, I'm more curious about that family tree and the vampire bassinet.

    Read the other thread just posted. I think we can hunt them!

    I mean that my sim can find and forcefully cure vampires. :)

    @SimGuruNinja

    Can the Devs turn on the captions, (sub titles) option in the live stream? I can't hear what they're saying and it would be very nice to know what's being said. If they can't do it because the captions can be wrong sometimes, I'll understand. Thanks.

    @CarpeNoctemSims family trees work even when the grandchildren are older than the grandparents... I have a sim couple that I just can't bear to let age up but I have continued to play the following generations with normal aging.. lol :s

    I would have loved to see a new emotion scared. I think it would have been much more for fun to be scared to death rather than dying of laughter or other silly emotional deaths we do have. :'(

    I would have been excited to see some other supernatural characters too like fairies, witches, werewolves, etc. Do you think we will get a bigger expansion pack with all the other supernaturals or will we have to pay $20 for each supernatural character one at a time?

    Is there any other death besides the death by sunlight?

    What if they don't drink plasma? Do they die? Get sick?

    Can vampires drink a little bit too much plasma and kill sims?

    And do they have to sleep in a coffin? Can they sleep in a regular bed as well?

    Do they have to eat? And if not, then, can they still eat? Will they enjoy food or is it only plasma from now on?

    A Simguru said on twitter vamps can sleep in beds or coffins. I think it was Meg.

    Can you get a SimGuru to answer my questions?
    I don't trust your source, Cat!

    Your kidding right?

    I never kid. Except when I'm kidding.
    And I'm kidding.

    So....yes.

    So long as you are here, I have some questions. (Though any SimGuru can answer these. )

    1. Will a vampire feeding from a sim set either gender preference or romantic interest? (Ideally, it should do neither.)

    2. Will the vampires be able to acquire immunity to sunlight (as The Sims 3 version did) ?

    I hope that they will add a scared-emotion in a later pack. Now the mechanics for powers are developed and can be reused later on. Maybe that will leave time for creating a new emotion? I am still very very excited about the pack but I do hope they intend to add it later on.

    Yay for being able to forcefully curing a vampire! I can make good stories with this :smile:

    1. Biting won't set gender preference.
    2. We'll go over powers and weaknesses soon

    @SimGuruNinja can you answer a question I might have missed? Say I switch to a different Sim, will my vampire be seen out in daylight when I'm not playing him/her? And if so will they burn up outside my control if I see them at the park etc. Or do they pretty much not (my own) show up in other towns?

    Vamps can't kill Sims.
    Vamps may or may not have to sleep in a coffin, based on their Powers/Weaknesses.
    They don't have to eat (food), but they can. Maybe. Depends on their Powers/Weaknesses.

    :smile:

    Sorry to keep you hungry for more. But anticipation is the best, right?

    Reading this makes me laugh way too hard and makes me picture some old ridiculous propaganda making claims like you can "catch" homosexuality via direct contact with a gay person.
