In addition to their characteristic coloration and dentition, vampires possess unique animations such as stalking about with an arm over their face, transforming into a bat for faster or more efficient routing, and a scowling portrait in the interaction pie menu. 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. The player then makes a Chocolate Decadence, and feeds it to Bayou Boo, which cures his vampirism. She tells the player that the cure for vampirism is a heavy chocolate dish. The player then must pick the lock of the chain and speak to Mambo Loa about vampirism. He later appears in Mission 6, where it is revealed that he has been turned into a vampire and is chained up in the secret passage. When Bayou Boo shows the player's Urb the secret passage to return to Miniopolis, he gets captured on the way. Later, when the player's Urb has to go in the Dark Tree, a Grand Vampire appears, but the player scares them off with a glowing rod. After the player's Urb washes up at the Bayou, Crawdad Clem and Bayou Boo suspect that they are a vampire, and the player must answer questions to prove that they aren't.

Vampires are one of the story elements in The Urbz: Sims in the City for GBA and DS. 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.
