The lore of vampires not being able to see their reflections in mirrors comes from the fact that mirrors used to be made with silver. So technically speaking, vampires in history wouldn't have been able to see their reflections, but vampires in the modern era could since mirrors no longer use silver as a backing
I thought it was because they don't have a soul so that is why they have no reflection even on other things than just mirrors (like water, other objects that would normally reflect you and same with camera pictures etc.).
@@9Misaki3 That's because silver was believed to show the truth of a person. Not to mention, vampire lore is so varied that there are no rules, only whatever traits you want to use youself.
Draculaura’s gonna have a field day after she hears this
@@9Misaki3 Vampires have souls but silver is their weakness aswel for the werewolfs. Silver is seen as pure thats why they do not have a reflection becouse it cannot reflect anything unholy.
The more you know...
Love the concept of a broke vampire who loves knitting and feels enough obligation to social propriety to decorate a fake bedroom with a fake bed
Old lady vampire named Margaret. Neighbors call her Miss Maggie. She also bakes cookies even though she can't enjoy them herself.
I like the idea of a roommates situation where a non-oocult sim who is an absolute nerd about vampires moved in with a vampire, hoping that they would get to witness the cool, dark, brooding lifestyle of the vampire. And then it turns out that the vampire is a chilled out "vegetarian" vampire who subsists on plasma fruit and likes to knit.
@@emilyprice178 Dude, write a book!😁
I would love for Kayla to remake Vlad’s house with no price or pack limit for her Nightmare Legacy world.
she has already remade it like 2 times I think 😭
As I die hard vampire/victorian/gothic style lover my little heart gets so happy when I see her make the pack actually look good lol
Honestly, same. 🧛🏻♀️
"They're a vampire, they don't really need a bed."
*builds an entire kitchen*
Maybe they’re a foodie vampire? There *are* lots of foods made with blood or raw meat. Besides, who doesn’t love pizza?
😂😂😂😂 how did that go right over my head until I read this comment.
i mean, kitchens are built into the house yknow? beds aren’t
Got to keep up appearances for the guests. Presumably guests would spend more time in the kitchen than the bedroom. Unless...............
Caleb Vatore is a foodie vampire sim. He just likes to eat.
I’d like to think that this house was made for normal parents that have a vampire kid and they keep them up in the attic but they’re also very supportive and tailor their life around them
Vampires on the sims are a healthy mix of more regular vamps from old lore and Twilight vampires
'cause there's a lot of things from each type that are fun to have (the ability to walk in the sun being an learn-able thing) and some that aren't (i.e. the mirror reflexions)
Not to mention they could literally shine in the sun in The Sims 3 if you unlocked the sunscreen
What’s funny is that Stephanie Meyers’s vampires have more in common with how angels are depicted in the Book of Mormon than previous depictions of vampires. Which makes sense bc Meyer is a very devout Mormon.
Have you ever made a like, a modern-modern vampire house? Since they came with Late Night in the Sims 3 I was always (trying) to build them like, these big ultramodern penthouses, etc.
You actually need a computer for your sims for the occult play to Lv up your vampire (computer and a bookcase) but I guess technically your sim could use the library at night so its not to bad
This is the fastest I have clicked on any video! Haha I love the build from just the thumbnail!!!! One of my favourite Sims-tubers coming in clutch
Lilsimsie every video: "I think I'll make it a little bit smaller" 😁
The Sims living there: 😭 Who is this woman and why is she knocking in my walls!?
Vampire rental next please! I always love your vampire builds you capture the essence so well
You're so good at the Sims! You decorate great and make so many starter homes we can use! Best Sims creater. 😁
Vampires can sleep in beds. You don’t have to use the coffin if you don’t want to.
The last time I played with one, she was able to hold a toddler, transform to bat & bring the toddler downstairs with her. I don’t know if they’ve changed that recently, though. If they haven’t, TPTB need to make that available to spellcasters, too.
Yes, my vampires use both tho
They have a trait in the skill tree that stops them from being able to sleep outside of coffins😊
@@_Lavande_ True I forget about that
i never use ladders. If I cant have stairs then I cant have the additional floor either. For me its a real life directing my sims gameplay. I know that for SIMS the stairs and the ladder are about the same. But for ME the idea of climbing up and down a ladder to get to your room at bedtime or whenever is a deal breaker. Im just picturing my Nana climbing a ladder or my Aunt Constance lmao
As someone with an irrational fear of ladders, I also avoid them at all costs. Unless I WANT something to be scary
I relate so much with this
Love how chaotically happy Simsie is : )
I loooove the vampire items because I build a lot of historic inspired builds so the vampire stuff is good for some of that (especially victorian I feel like)
I love the vampires pack! I looove playing with vampires and I like Forgotten Hollow. It's very small, but therefore has a bit more of an open world feel.There could be more stuff to interact with, but the atmosphere around the centre place is very lovely. Definitely one of my top 5 packs! 😊
I really wish both the vampires and werewolves worlds just had more lots but vampires especially since there’s less to do in the world. Even if it was 6 instead of 4 I’d be happier. And I say that as someone who almost exclusively plays vampires 😅
@@AverageEggmonEnthusiast Well vampires has the same lot number as werewolves has, both have 5! But yes, it feels a bit empty.
@@CillaNox oh I thought it was 4 oops. I rarely play in that world 😅
@@AverageEggmonEnthusiast i get it, i always play with accults but the spelcaster and vampire world could use an update, just a few more extra things u could do in the world would be awsome
whyyyy victorian goth houses are soooo prettyyyy 😫😫😫😫
it should be illegal
LilSimsie uploads like clockwork! I got the notification and was like it's that time already?! Haha
There's a really cute cozy mystery book series by Nancy Warren called The Vampire Knitting Club 🖤
love the style of the vampire houses and the victorian homes in strangerville, they just look so elegant
I love the vampire pack and I stand by that for me it fill my wants and needs ❤😊and when I play it’s vampires I have the most fun and for it’s easier to manage a vampire sim than any other occults beside spell caster and this build is giving inspiration to build a modern or contemporary house for my vampire sim 😊
Everyday when I get home from school I have a snack and watch your videos 😊
You gained money back at the end because you originally had a higher foundation, and thus you saved some money on stairs!
It's giving "I only had enough for the deposit" in the best way 😂
I love the lore of this human sim who moves into Forgotten Hollow, entirely unaware of the whole vampire thing, and also happens to set up their knitting space in the creepy attic of their house, also entirely unaware of the coffin in that room.
Love how it turned out!!
0:11 I think mermaids are the worst occult, they are a lot worse than vampires, they barely have any gameplay, playing with vampires it's kind of fun for the first few times, but with mermaids after 5 minutes you already don't have anything to do.
Ok at 10:04 thankfully you added the knitting basket because the whole creepy attic with just a coffin and a single rocking chair was screaming Norman Bates.
This looks amazing, love it! Have you ever considered that you try to make it budget, upload AND THEN follow and change windows, use more expensive furniture without pack limitation and no budget? So you would also be more satisfied - both on completing the little challenge and also making a perfect build :)
Just a small tip for anyone who wants to reupholster a similar chair or any in general, when the foam is that yellow, it's perishing. I would suggest buying some new foam before covering. You can buy furniture foam cushioning in lots of different sizes and thickness.
it's the attic for me. You're so good.
When you started saying that the inside didn't feel as 'classical vampire but it has potential', all I could imagine was Vladdy Daddy renovating this house and renting it out as an AirBNB and just conspicuously living on the top floor, slowly amassing his immense wealth 😂
Please just use the whole pack! I'd much rather see you use the vampire windows and go off of budget then to use base game!
I love the style of this house Kayla I would definitely get this house because I like playing with vampires.
I love this house! Try making a starter using the Strangerville pack. I made a very pretty Victorian home one using that stuff for my channel.
Love it! Now can you renovate without a budget?
It is indeed most beautiful, glad u’ve finally found occult packs fun!
I would love if you renovated it in the future, this has so much potential, I absolutely love the quirky layout and the exterior 🖤
It’s giving “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and I absolutely love it
me: someone actively trying to knit in the dark and failing because I can't see anything
simsie: puts knitting in the darkest dark
me: ah yes, perfect, works everytime 10/10
This is a great starter home for someone who likes to decorate but doesn't like to build. It has a lot of architectural character!
It looks beautiful so far
you absolutely SLAYED this!!
The knitting is iconic
I've also been having fun with occult sims recently, especially Werewolves and Spellcasters. Mermaids are cute, too but I wish they had a perk system :(
Love this build video lilsimsie.
Loving the knitting vampire 🤩
Love the build! Just popped over to your stream in time for booktok and a tornado warning🫠 Stay safe!
I think it'd be fun to make a build using the exact amount of money you donated for St Judes!
The first kid in my Gen 1 Career Legacy decided she wanted to become a vampire and write vampire fic, she would have loooooved this starter
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked any thing that quickly lol it looks pretty in the thumbnail
I haven't played with the vampires yet, but you've made me curious. Nice build, too!
once i figure out how to update my game without my computer exploding ima play in this house
I play with vampires all the time in the sims, and I don't use the coffins. My sim just "sleeps" in a bed. Actually, my sim doesn't sleep at all. 🤷🏻♀️
In my Legacy, the heir has a younger brother with a different dad who is a vampire. When that kid was still a child, their cousin that lived with them died. From seeing it, the boy decided to join his father and be a vampire so he won't have to die too. Meanwhile my heir, whose father is the grim reaper, sees it as just a part of life and relies on her relationships to feel better
I luv the victorian style house! Lol
I want tsm4 so bad idk where to find it tho
nice to see you playing occult!
Now that your back on this track, mind to talk about an OLD pack idea that Sims 4 teased called the REAPER Job, it was out voted by the Paranormal pack.
would love to hear what you think that would be like and what perks came with that job.
omg the house is so good i love it
we need this but budget less
Beautiful profile picture
Love the creepy attic
Last time I played a vampire sim, I had him fall in love with a mermaid to challenge her love for outdoors, and his need to not be in the sun 😂
Would love to see a renovated / remade version of this
I love it! I’m going to download it into my save file I’m making. :D it will have to be empty with just enmities though. :) I want all my empty homes to be like real life, where they only come with the barebones of kitchens, bathrooms and fixtures. :)
How about a witch starter home? 😊
Vampire house!!!! I love it. 🦇
You should build a blue suburban apartment also love youuuu ❤❤❤❤❤❤
pls make a video on revisiting the gameplay of the vampire pack
Definitely a solid starter home!
You could remake this with unlimited budget, then it could turn out even cooler!
i LOVE the facade!
i dreeeeaaam of getting this extension, but because its old i wait for EA to lower the price 🥹 playing with vampires seems so fun
Is she going to make the speed build of the 2 mil house??
For a second, the thumbnail made it seem like it was yet another blue suburban lol
There's this book series called the Vampire Knitting Club where all the members of this knitting group are vampires. Maybe this house belongs to one of them :)
I think it'd be fun to make a vampire house that's trying so hard to look human, but is just a little bit wrong. Like a TV in the bathroom or a microwave in the bedroom etc. 😅
This is why i could neverrr limit my money when i build bc i just love clutter and i know i cant control myself😭😭
i don’t know if you’ve already done this but could you make a new veterinary clinic for pets? maybe a mixture of pets AND horse ranch?
Yayy!! I've been *really* into vampires because of the new season of Interview With The Vampire. They're just not leaving my mind and honestly it's kind of making me want to pöay with the Sims vampires.
The Vampire Pack, is one of my favorites 🦇💜
Now I wanna play in this house and make a cute pastell vampire who renovates this house!
This is the first video ive watched of yours (im a newish simmer) and this made me run to the gallery. This is what i look for in a starter home. It has everything you need and it looks cool, plus its a fixer upper which i love. Easy to like... get a job and add a little love to it. Also, you dont NEED a bed, but beds are nice and roomy for sexy purposes 😂 just an extra place to... hide the bone... if you will... 😂
The spider webs could be in the normal bedroom if a vampire lives there cause they wouldn't use the room
the ultra modern eco house next to this lot sent me
If I had the pack I'd use it for a three sim family, in which a gay couple inherits their great-granduncle house just to realize he's still living there lol.
Luv your vids keep up the good work and make sure not to trap your sims and don't get caughgt in an infininite loading screen
Yay!! i just bought this packkkk ahhhhh
10:19 that's... a _vampire diary_
I wished she did a "Starter Plus" or something, a cheapish house but isn't just 20k. Like, make this house fancy and vampirey in the inside, even tho it's 25k or 30k. I feel like it's either 20k or super expensive mansion, with nothing in between.
I LOVE YOU SIMSIE ❤❤❤
yessssss kayla come to the dark side 😈
this is so cute!!
Human doesn't realize there's a vampire in their attic, Enemies to Lovers slowburn, hurt/comfort
Can you do these for all occult types
i feel like she forgot to change the wallpaper inside lol
The Blooming Rooms Kit is free right now!
As someone who has watch all of your starter videos, I'm gonna judge that lol
It came out cheaper because you didn't raise the foundation as high so you saved on the stairs outside and maybe inside, not sure.
I would love to see a vampire castle
