Vamps for iPhone Sims

So maybe you can’t have vampires in the Sims 3 game and I know some of you are mighty bummed about that.

But, if you have Sims 3 for iPhone, you should cheer-up since EA has released a Vampire Theme Pack exclusively for iPhone and iPod Touch simmers.

Happy?

Since I don’t have either an iPhone or and iPod Touch [I'll happily take one or both for Christmas. Hint. Hint.] I wasn’t able to go to the iPhone Sims Store to check out the new additions but the Sims 3 website has a full list of the stuff that you can expect.

It wouldn’t make me sad at all if EA released similar things for PC based Sims 3 players.

No word yet if blood sucking is included.

Sims 2 Vampire Gowns

Vampires are all the rage right now what with True Blood and Twilight but I’ve been a fan of vampires since way back. Doesn’t anyone remember Lestat? *sigh*

The point is that I have a great set of vampire gowns for you for Sims 2.

There are five of them total and you need to read the Overview page to get a link to the mesh that you need to download so that the dresses will show up in your game.

My favorite is the red gown since it’s red and super sexy and looks like something that a classy vampire woman would wear.

If these gowns are something you want to see your Sims wearing, make sure that you check out the link that’s listed above.

Great dresses even if you’re not trying to do the whole vampire thing.

Are There REAL Vamps in Sims 3?

So after the uproar created by the announcement that Sims 3 is being delayed for a few months, we now have another little firestorm on our hands.

Are there “real” vampires in Sims 3?

These screens are floating around the interweb right now of a male and a female vampire:

They look like “real” vampires but Maxis has come out and said that they were user created characters and that though you can make your Sims look like vampires, they won’t function like vampires like we have in Sims 2. [EA has clarified that while you can indeed make a Sim that appears to be a vampire, you cannot actually play as a vampire. - Snooty Sims.com]

But, if you read AlaSims.com, they make it pretty clear that there are vampires in Sims 3. [There's a LOT of really cool stuff in that article...too much to list here.] SO, I’m left wondering if the vampires will be NPCs only and though they will be in the game, you won’t be able to be bitten and then become a vampire like you could in Sims 2. Granted, I haven’t been able to find the “official word” on this from EA so all of this is just me thinking “out loud”.

If true, this actually bums me out a bit since I’ve always thought that the vampires in Sims 2 added a really cool element to the game. Then again, Ala Sims says that you can now control ghost Sims so I guess if I have to give up vamps then at least I gain the ability to control ghosts.

Fair trade? I’m not sure yet.
