Can Vampires Get Pregnant and Have Babies in The Sims 4?

As a devoted Simmer and content creator, I get asked often by my viewers whether vampires can get pregnant and have babies in The Sims 4. So let me sink my teeth into the juicy details of occult genetics and reproduction!

Yes! Vampires Can Absolutely Conceive Children

Vampire Sims have fully functional reproductive systems in The Sims 4. If two vampires try for a baby, their conceived child will always be born a vampire as well.

Even if only one vampire parent is involved, there is still a solid 50% chance the baby will inherit vampire genes from mom or dad.

Let‘s explore how this works under the hood…

Inheritance of Vampire Genetics and Occult Status

According to recent testing by notable Simmer sites like Carl‘s Guides, here is how vampire heritage passes down:

As you can see, vampire genetics display a clear dominant inheritance pattern similar real-life traits like brown eyes.

This lines up with various player experiments that conclusively show vampire babies being born to vampire-human pairings.

Comparison of Vampire Pregnancy vs Humans

Now you may be wondering – do vampire pregnancies work differently than they do for ordinary Sims?

The answer is not at all! – the vampiric status has no bearing on the pregnancy mechanics and progression.

Like human Sims, vampires have a 3-day gestation, experience normal body changes and mood swings, give birth in the hospital, and can breastfeed their little fangsters.

In my decades as a simmer, I‘ve observed vampire Sims have every flavor of pregnancy craving, from triple chocolate cake to the Plasma Jane plasma fruit drink!

And they gain weight right alongside human mothers – likely counterbalanced a bit by their vampire metabolism, but still noticeable when dressed in clingy gowns.

So in essence, vampirism does not inhibit fertility or the joys and woes of reproduction. These undead moms and dads enjoy parenthood (or despair at accident babies!) just like any other Sim.

Which naturally sets up intriguing storytelling opportunities…

Gameplay Impact of Vampire Occult Genetics

What‘s amazing about the vampire life state in The Sims is how much rich gameplay it enables via genetics and heredity.

Since vampires are immortal in The Sims 4, they can keep having child after child if you wish. Each new pregnancy spins the roulette wheel…will this baby inherit vampirism or be an ordinary human child?

I‘ve played vampire dynasties with five generations of fangster spawns populating the family castle!

It also unlocks interesting narratives when vampire-human romances produce offspring. Will the kids embrace their vampire legacy proudly or bitterly resent missing out on normal lives?

And when only one spouse is occult, they must watch their mortal partners and any fully human children age and die as they continue on eternally. Such bittersweet drama!

For storytelling potential alone, I‘d highly recommend trying out some vampire babies in your Sims 4 game!

Vampire Reproduction Compared to Other Occult Types

Lastly, how do vampire pregnancy mechanics stack up against other occult creature types like aliens, mermaids, and spellcasters?

Vampires enjoy the most reliable genetic inheritance from what I‘ve observed. Alien and mermaid babies show more variability inheriting occult status from hybrid matches.

And sadly spellcasters must renounce their magic altogether to successfully carry babies as vampires, werewolves or other hybrid entities. No cute little spell-casting, cauldron-stirring toddlers for them!

So all in all, vampires have a privileged position as the most fertile and hereditary occult type in my estimation. Just more proof that vampires rock!

I hope this guide has shed some light on how having babies works wonderfully for Vampire Sims.

Their occult status poses zero fertility challenges, babies have a very strong chance to inherit vampirism, and the pregnancies themselves proceed just like the human variety.

So whether you‘re after cute deadly tots to fill up the creepy family mansion, delicious drama from star-crossed mortal/immortal relationships, or just joyful moments of expanding your undead dynasty…vampire pregnancy has you covered!

Now if you‘ll excuse me, I have some plasma-puking pregnant vampires to attend to…I swear their horrible retching sounds are just delightful background noise while I craft my next viral Sims 4 video. Toodles!
