Vampire skills are mostly what you can achieve with the aspiration/satisfaction points for regular Sims and the ones that are 'new' are usually game breaking. Half the time when I try to use a vampire skill on another Sim, the whole thing simply freezes up and even trying to use a cheat to reset the Sim doesn't work, so I have to shut down the entire game without saving. If I use the skills to influence moods, even to have the sims around me simply be happy, they usually die (ah, yes, death from being way too happy). This makes the vampire skills useless. Worse, you have to choose weaknesses to go along with the skills and those are annoying and turn your vampire Sim into a mopey, starving mess ALL of the time. Vampire Sim "dark forms" are usually hideous and my Sims often get stuck in that form with no way to change back, no matter how many times I click the option to change back. On top of that, people automatically, randomly hate my vampire Sims (even more than they randomly hate my regular Sims) even if they aren't doing anything vampire-like and even if they have the 'skill' to make themselves more attractive. I feel like nothing in this pack actually works and I've wound up changing all of my vampire Sims back to regular Sims over the course of gameplay because it just isn't fun to manage them and it isn't fun to deal with the freezing up all of the time and the random mood deaths. The only positives are that I do like the 5 female hairstyles in this pack and some of the gothic building and plant options. Was that worth $20, though? No.
