#THE SIMS GAME REVIEW SKIN#

Interacting with the world and other Sims is a big part of the base game, and Vampires pushes that even further in great ways.

After playing around and unlocking skills it became a system I thoroughly enjoyed and hope to see more of in the future.

The weaknesses you can choose also give a sense of storytelling and progress, like making your vampire unable to eat human food, or only able to sleep in a coffin, although you do not have to choose weaknesses either. I was able to make my character move around as a bat, turn other Sims into vampires, even giving them the ability to control other Sims and make them do what I wanted. This was surprising and a joy to play around with. There are plenty to choose from and I had a great time picking and truly tailoring my Sims abilities as I saw fit. As you progress and level up your vampire rank, new tiers of both powers and weaknesses unlock. In The Sims 4 Vampires you have an ability tree, like in a lot of RPG games, that allows you to pick and choose your powers and weaknesses. That aspect is not a big deal but ir would’ve been a nice little feature to see it changed around.Īmong the new features in this expansion was one that I really hope will stick in the future. Vampires comes with the gambit of not being able to stay in the sunlight or stand garlic, although they can use mirrors. This is a great way to further the ability to make and create a vampire with the story you want to tell.

Due to the versatility of the system,you can create a stereotypical vampire with fangs, complete with deadish skin tone and a creepy slow gait, or make a normal Sim who still has the vampire abilities and traits. There are options for new skin tones, eye socket choices, even fangs, and I was thoroughly impressed by the new Create A Sim options. The character creation for vampires is chock-full of new items and looks, allowing you to create a new vampire in a fun and in-depth way. All in all, it’s a unique little game pack, though it left me wanting more.Īs the titles suggests, Vampires adds the ability to create, or turn, your sim into a night crawling immortal. It also introduces new ideas, gameplay elements and great new interaction options. The Sims 4 is notorious for zany, outlandish, and wild gameplay and the newest game pack, Vampires, intelligently adds to it.
