Other Sims can also Influence a vampire to bite another Sim, though it will likely be successful only if it is a Grand Vampire that is influenced to do so. Non-Grand Vampire Sims still require a high relationship in order to successfully bite another Sim.

Vampirism is transmitted via the bite neck interaction performed by a Sim who is already a vampire, such as a Grand Vampire, who will initially only bite Sims with whom they have a high relationship however, once the Grand Vampire has bitten a Sim, their likelihood of biting other (playable or unplayable) Sims is increased until the lot is reloaded. The game-generated Grand Vampire NPCs wear Victorian-style clothing, apparently influenced by historical depictions of vampires. They have bluish-gray skin, red eyes, and fangs. This is purely cosmetic, and the Sim remains a normal Sim in all respects. Sims cannot become vampires, but a magical adult Sim who successfully uses the "Beauty or Beast" charm can temporarily take on the appearance of a vampire. The only character who is an actual vampire is Vicki Vampiress, an NPC who operates the "All Things Draconic" cart in Magic Town.

Vampires do not really play a role in The Sims, not even in Makin' Magic. 2 The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld).
