#vampirethesims

I. Requirements

Some Aspirations require packs other than the Vampires Gamepack. Here is a list of requirements for each aspiration:

Brujah: City Living

Toreador Painter: Only Base Game and Vampires Gamepack  

Tremere: Realm of Magic, Get to University

Ventrue: High School years, Get to University

II. Getting Clan Traits:

There are two ways to receive a clan-specific trait:

Choose the clan’s aspiration (like selecting Brujah in CAS or Live Mode), which grants the trait automatically—similar to how base-game aspirations give you traits (e.g., Gregarious for Popularity).

Important: Clan traits are mutually exclusive. If you pick Brujah, then switch to Ventrue, you’ll stay a Brujah and won’t get the Ventrue trait (or its reward trait, Ventrue Strategos).

These traits only apply to vampires—non-vampires lose them.

Be embraced by a clan member.

Example: If a Tremere turns a human, the human gets a "Future Tremere" trait. After the transformation completes, it upgrades to the full "Tremere" trait.

🔧 Note on Embrace Mechanics:

For a mortal to receive their correct clan trait upon Embrace, make sure your Sim is alone with the target (preferably in a room or lot without other vampires from different clans).

This is due to a technical limitation — I couldn’t link the trait directly via a loot action, so I used broadcasters instead.

It works reliably when there’s no trait overlap interference from nearby Sims.

Each clan's trait comes with unique advantages and some flavorful drawbacks to match their World of Darkness counterparts. Here's a breakdown:

III. Clan Traits & Gameplay Effects

Tremere (more details here)

Strengths:

Learn Vampire Lore and occult (vampire/spellcaster) skills faster

Always have a +1 Focused moodlet

All Focused moodlets are twice as effective

Weaknesses:

Stressed moodlets are twice as strong

Friendship builds more slowly

Tremere Spellcaster Powers:

Tremere need hybrid mechanics. I use @td1sims ’ Occult Hybrid Unlocker & Stabilizer to make it work.

Toreador (more details here)

Strengths:

Creative skills (Painting, Writing, Instruments) improve faster

Creative outputs are higher quality

Romance builds faster

All emotion-based moodlets are stronger

20% chance to get a +6 Dazed moodlet when admiring art

Quirk:

Decor-related moodlets are replaced with "Atrociously Decorated" (more intense)

Brujah (more details here)

Strengths:

Fitness and Charisma skills improve faster

Weaknesses:

Angry moodlets get +4 extra intensity

If already Angry, gains a +2 Angry moodlet (triggering Frenzy)

⚠️ Recommend using MCCC to disable emotional deaths

Ventrue (more details here)

Strengths:

Charisma improves faster

Friendship builds quicker

Weakness (Revised "Feeding Restriction"):

If they don't get the rare "Divine Drink" moodlet after feeding ("What an exquisite plasma vintage!"), they get +5 Uncomfortable

🔍 Tip: Use this mod to mark "Tasty" Sims (their "preferred vessels")

Bonus Gargoyle (more details here)

Strengths:

Fitness skill improves faster

Servo needs decay more slowly

Recharging also fills the Vampire Energy

While close to a Tremere, they get an +1 Energized Moodlet

Weaknesses:

Susceptible to Vampire Powers

The only way to get the Gargoyle trait is via embrace (Gargoyles are Servos embraced by a Tremere).

To make your Gargoyle look as charming as Rocky, you’ll need SweeneyTodd’s humanized servos mod

IV. Aspirations

these were the first four aspirations I created for the mod — and they were designed to complement existing aspirations in The Sims 4 for deeper roleplay and progression. Here's how they pair:

Brujah → Bodybuilder + Master Vampire

Here is the list of the objectives:

Toreador → Painter Extraordinaire + Master Vampire

Here is the list of the objectives:

Tremere → Spellcraft & Sorcery, Purveyor of Potions + Master Vampire

Here is the list of the objectives:

Ventrue → Fabulously Wealthy + Master Vampire

Here is the list of the objectives:

V. Rewards

Once completed each aspiration gives special rewards:

BRUJAH (More info here)

✔️ Argumentative Trait (Parenthood GP)

✔️ Compassionate Trait (Parenthood GP)

✔️ +5 Vampire Power Points

✔️ 🎖️ Brujah Iconoclast Trait (exclusive!)

What does Brujah Iconoclast do? 

Your Brujah is a sparkplug of rebellion, passion and raw presence.

 Double the effect of Energized moodlets!

 Other Brujah nearby receive a +5 Inspired moodlet called Inspired Leadership

 Anyone near an Energized Iconoclast (or anyone who makes them Energized) gets a +2 Feeling Energized moodlet. They radiate energy like wildfire.

BUT… rage is a double-edged sword.

 If your Brujah becomes Angry, they get:

+2 Angry (basic Brujah trait)

+3 Frenzy moodlet (new!)

Which causes everyone nearby to receive a +5 Scared moodlet.

TOREADOR Painter Track  (More info here)

✔️ Critically Connected Trait (from City Living EP)

✔️ +5 Vampire Power Points

✔️ 🎖️ Head of the Painters Guild Trait (exclusive!)

What does Head of the Painters Guild do? 

Vampiric Fascination becomes more than a charm – using it completely restores your Vampire Energy.

Nearby Sims (humans and fellow Toreador alike) bask in their presence, gaining a +2 Inspired moodlet called Inspiring Presence.

While under this aura, Painting Skill builds faster – because being near them just feels like being near greatness.

TREMERE  (More info here)

✔️ Mentally Gifted Trait (Base Game)

✔️ +2 Spellcaster Perk Points

✔️ +3 Vampire Power Points

✔️ 🎖️ Regent Trait (exclusive!)

What does the Regent trait do?

Practicing any kind of magic — Untamed, Practical, or Mischief — fully restores your Vampire Energy. Power flows through every ritual.

Tremere who are nearby gain a +2 Focused moodlet: “Close to the Regent”

This aura:

Boosts Vampire Lore skill gain

Speeds up both magical and vampiric power development

And makes it easier to build friendships — essential for a clan known for its social... difficulties.

VENTRUE (More info here)

✔️ Highflier Trait (High School Years EP)

✔️ +5 Vampire Power Points

✔️ 🎖️ Ventrue Strategos Trait (exclusive!)

What does the Ventrue Strategos trait do?

Doubles the impact of Confident moodlets — your Sim dominates every room they walk into.

All Social Skills act as if they’re +3 levels higher when used (i.e., a level 5 Comedy skill acts as level 8 during interactions).

Using “Control Emotion” or “Command” fully restores Vampire Energy — power flows through presence and precision.

Enjoy a massive boost in Career Performance, making promotions feel inevitable.

VI. Acknowledgements

🎨 To @losieee, whose breathtaking CCs inspired me to return to modding.

🧪 To @bobodogma, @weskercoded, vampy, and Tea — thank you for volunteering to test my messy code with such generosity.

🔧 To Errant Red on Zerbu’s Realm, who guided me through technical challenges with priceless advice.

🦇 And to @medeaft and @essie-essex, for always cheering on the blog and the #simsbynight chronicle.

You all made this possible. 🖤

VII. Future Plans

💾 This is an early version — more clans are on the way! (And yes, we're tweaking things as we go, so feedback is very welcome!)

🛠️ What’s Next?

The next update is already in the works! I'm planning to release aspirations for Gargoyles, Nagaraja, Malkavians, Giovanni, and Nosferatu.

Alongside them, I hope to launch the Camarilla Career Mod, which is currently in its final testing phase. I’ve also started working on careers for the Sabbat and Anarchs, but those still need proper testing.

Finally, I’m experimenting with a new aspiration focused on exploring Ravenwood, uncovering its secrets one tarot card at a time...
