Curious to learn more about vampire powers?

Let’s explore what vampires are capable of in The Sims 4.

What powers do vampires have in The Sims 4?

There are five vampire ranks in The Sims 4:

Vampire Fledgling
Minor Vampire
Prime Vampire
Master Vampire
Grand Master Vampire

Each rank lets you unlock a specific set of 5 vampire powers.

This means there’s a total of 25 vampire powers that you can choose from. Level up your Vampire Lore skill and earn more Power Points to unlock new abilities.

As your vampire levels up and gets closer to darkness, they’re required to develop new weaknesses.

When a vampire uses their special vampire abilities, their Dark Form automatically shows up.

⇒ Quick Tip:

If you want to unlock specific vampire powers instantly, you can use cheats to get the job done.

Vampire Fledgling Powers

The Vampire Fledgling rank unlocks the following vampire powers:

Detect Personality
Bat Form
Cast Hallucination
Eternally Welcome
Occult Student, Disciple, and Master

Detect Personality

This power lets you learn everything there is to know about other Sims’ traits.

There’s no need to engage in small talk and then ask Sims about their preferences, likes, and dislikes.

Use this power to scan them from head to toe.

Bat Form

This power lets you fly anywhere as a bat.

You can move around in your bat form to spy on others, and even find love and meet your soul mate.

What’s the difference between Bat Form and Mist Form?

Bat Form and Mist Form fulfill the same role with different animations. It’s essentially the same thing.

The main difference is that Mist Form is slightly faster than Bat Form. And your vampire can woohoo in Bat Form. This option is not available in Mist Form.

⇒ Important Note:

If you send your vampire to work in Mist Form, they’ll lose so much Vampire Energy that they’ll burn when they get home.

Cause Hallucination

Use this power to make other Sims talk to themselves. They’ll also get Dazed while under the influence of this vampire power.

They’ll walk around talking to imaginary friends. And they won’t even know it was all just a hallucination.

Eternally Welcome

This power lets you lock and unlock doors at other Sims’ homes.

There’s no need to ask permission to enter someone else’s house. You can also wreak havoc by locking the door of your host.

Think of this power as the vampire equivalent of the Always Welcome trait.

You don’t need a maid to do the laundry if you’ve unlocked this cool power.

If a family member got fat, you can command them to work out. Fortunately, vampires rarely get fat.

If you don’t own Get Together and can’t use clubs to get other Sims to do things for you, the Command power will come in handy.

Garlic Immunity

This power cancels all the negative effects that garlic can have on your vampire.

In other words, your vampire won’t feel uncomfortable near garlic.

Child of the Moon, Creature of the Night, and Master of Darkness
