Vampire Sim pre planning

[zeckes]

I don't have Supernatural yet but I thought I'd jot down my ideas somewher, as to not forget them (until I buy the DLC) and if I do it here I may get feedback from the community.

I currently have University Life and Ambitions so I get a sixth trait and theese are:

Loner - slow social need
Insane - Talks to self to fill social need
Hates the outdoors - doesn't mind staying inside
Couch potato - likes to stay on comfy tings, needs more sleep
Heavy sleeper - Sleeps more
Green Thumb - care for plasma fruits (there is a rug for inside greenery)

Specific Lifetime Reward:

Immortal (Yes, he will sparkle but he will stop aging)
Fireproof Homestead (I wouldn't want him to die in something I can prevent, like a fire..)
My Best Friend (Undecided on this one but I might get this for him just in case he gets real lonely)

I am hoping to have him stay in the attic as generations of the Human side of the family live on the first floor, generation after generation, while he cultivate magic voodoo vampire fruit and make money on drawing or writing so that his human desendants wont have to work.

Between My Best Friend, Bonehilda and the Butler, maybe I don't need the two first traits, in which case which trait would you use? (No doors to the attic, so a few generations later the family wont know of him)

Any other observations or feedback?

Isn't there that stop aging potion lifetime reward? (Which to my knowledge doesn't cause sparkles?) I'd also go for getting super green thumb after that so he can keep some death flowers handy, or unlucky if you get a degree to get two traits from the Uni EP... (Which makes it so you can only die of old age... As from what I hear it makes it so that the Grim Reaper will find your misfortune too hilarious to purt an end to with his sweet embrace.)

Life fruits also extend your lifespan I hear...

If you're going to lock him in the attic, you've got a few problems (or opportunities - works both ways).

1. You're going to get a perpetual "Stir Crazy" moodlet since he can't go anywhere. Hates the Outdoors will overcome that. An alternative to the attic might be an underground lair with one entrance that only that Sim can get through. Come out at night, buy Plasma Fruit at the grocery store and avoid that problem altogether.

2. You're going to have issues filling the Social needs. You can have him do a lot of online chatting and then spend a lot of time chatting on the phone with online friends, or do the socializing at night away from the household. The underground lair is starting to look better.

3. Couch Potato and Heavy Sleeper won't help much. Couch Potato is a slight advantage for a writer (buy a comfy chair), but it's only a slight advantage rather than a deal-breaker. I've done lots of writers and almost never take that trait.

Ooh I didn't know that, then yeah, that would be the preferred method, not having sparkles is nice and also frees up what typ of race I can choose. Like Fairies, I hear they are good with greenery and have extended lifespann.

I also didn't know you got 2 extra traits, that is also good to know

I'd go for the stop aging lifetime reward then

Hates the outdoors is already listed and he'd have some company, which is also listed in the first post. And yeah, I also have done many writers before not using these traits, though I was thinking if I take couch potato and give him a nice chair then wiki says that couch otato require more sleep, making it easy on myself I'll add heavy sleeper

Yeah one trait for rising to the top of a social group, the other for getting a deploma at the University.

So, say I take the Age Freeze potion to stop aging and Unlucky which prevent one from dying unless it is from old age, wouldn't that basically be true immortality.

I wouldn't need most of the things I said in the first post

I think ill take Handy and Neat cook as well and have him as the butler (I know there is an actual butler but if it is my sim I can costumize him to my liking)

So, thanx again Spy-Bait for your reply
