The Sims 4 Vampires cheats & how to unlock ranks, perks & powers
Cheats for The Sims 4 Vampires can help you become a vampire instantly and level up your Sim to Grand Master status without grinding, so here's how to use them.
The Vampires Game Pack added the sunlight-avoiding, bat-transforming, and garlic-avoiding Occult into The Sims 4, and as is the case with its many other DLCs, there's a whole set of cheats to go along with them.
Offering Simmers the chance to work up the vampiric ladder to become a Master Vampire, if you don't want to wait to join the ranks of the undead, you can use the game's cheats for a headstart - perfect for kickstarting a specific storyline or to try all of the cool powers for vampire Sims.
As you gain experience in The Sims 4 as a Vampire, you'll be able to unlock new powers that will help you on your way to becoming an almost unstoppable force of nature. From being able to detect another Sim's personality to gaining immunity against the dreaded garlic (gasp!) - there are lots of cool ones.
Luckily, you can cheat your way to them if you don't want to go through the hassle of ranking your vampire up.
First, though, you'll need to access a Sim's ID, as that's an important part of the codes for these powers. Use the 'Sims.get_Sim_id_by_name [First Name] [Last Name]' cheat first, and then replace the (SimID) section of the below codes with that number.
| Power | Code |
| Bat Form |
|
| Beyond the Herd | bucks.unlock_perk LoseHumanity_Social true 40961 (SimID) |
| Cast Hallucination |
|
| Child of the Moon | bucks.unlock_perk NocturnalAffinity_Level3 true 40961 (SimID) |
| Command | bucks.unlock_perk Command true 40961 (SimID) |
| Dampened Emotions | bucks.unlock_perk EmotionalDampening_Level3 true 40961 (SimID) |
| Detect Personality | bucks.unlock_perk DetectPersonality true 40961 (SimID) |
| Deprive Needs | bucks.unlock_perk NeedsNaughtiness true 40961 (SimID) |
| Eternally Welcome | bucks.unlock_perk AlwaysWelcome true 40961 (SimID) |
| Garlic Immunity | bucks.unlock_perk GarlicImmunity true 40961 (SimID) |
| Influence Emotion | bucks.unlock_perk EmotionalBurst_3 true 40961 (SimID) |
| Irrestistible Slumber | bucks.unlock_perk IrresistibleSlumber true 40961 (SimID) |
| Immortal Pleasures | bucks.unlock_perk LoseHumanity_Fun true 40961 (SimID) |
| Manipulate Life Spirit | bucks.unlock_perk ManipulateLifeSpirit true 40961 (SimID) |
| Mesmerize | bucks.unlock_perk Mesmerize true 40961 (SimID) |
| Mist Form | bucks.unlock_perk MistForm true 40961 (SimID) |
| Odorless | bucks.unlock_perk LoseHumanity_Hygiene true 40961 (SimID) |
| Occult Student | bucks.unlock_perk PotentPower_3 true 40961 (SimID) |
| Sun Resistance | bucks.unlock_perk ResistanceSolis_Level3 true 40961 (SimID) |
| Supernatural Speed | bucks.unlock_perk VampireRun true 40961 (SimID) |
| Tamed Thirst | bucks.unlock_perk TameTheThirst true 40961 (SimID) |
| Vampiric Charm | bucks.unlock_perk AlluringVisage_3 true 40961 (SimID) |
| Vampiric Creation | bucks.unlock_perk VampireCreation true 40961 (SimID) |
| Vampiric Slumber | bucks.unlock_perk VampiricSlumber_Level3 true 40961 (SimID) |
| Vampiric Strength | bucks.unlock_perk VampiricStrength_Level3 true 40961 (SimID) |
For example, in the case of my Sim, if I wanted to add the 'Vampiric Charm' power, I'd enter 'bucks.unlock_perk AlluringVisage_3 true 40961 1120290458968982602'.
You can unlock these powers regardless of your rank, so have at them and add whichever ones you like.
Now that you've got access to all of the different powers, you'll likely want to boost a Sim's rank up a bit - so use the following codes to progress through them:
| Cheat | Code |
| Minor Vampire rank | stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 202 |
| Prime vampire rank | stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 630 |
| Achieve 'Master' vampire rank | stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1058 |
| Achieve 'Grand Master' vampire rank | stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1486 |
| Achieve max rank | stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 |
| Add two perk points | stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 2000 |
Grand Master vampires can continue to learn powers without taking additional weaknesses, which are a requirement when taking the powers (the exception being if you've cheated the powers above, of course.)
The Vampires Game Pack comes with a couple of reward traits that Sims will be rewarded with when completing Aspirations, but you can add them to a Sim in a jiffy with the following:
| Trait | Code | Description |
| Regained Humanity | traits.equip_trait RegainedHumanity | These vampire Sims are more trustworthy, and other Sims are more likely to permit them to drink their Plasma |
| I Am The Master | traits.equip_trait TheMaster | Command Powers used on Vampire Offspring always succeed |
| A True Master | traits.equip_trait TrueMaster | Greater vampire energy and mind control powers |
If your Sim has yet to even become a vampire, you've got a couple of different options available to you, as there's a code which triggers the vampiric process and another which will instantly transform them.
Either one is viable, it just comes down to whether you want to play through the transformation process or trim all the fat and have them become immortal instantly:
| Cheat | Code |
| Turn your Sim into a vampire naturally | stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 |
| Instantly turn Sim into vampire | traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire |
| Reset vampire powers | bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40961 (SimID) true |
| Remove vampire state from Sim | traits.remove_trait trait_occultvampire |
| Remove all vampire weaknesses | bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40962 {SimID} false |
| Instantly kill vampire with sunlight | stats.set_stat commodity_Vampire_SunExposure -100 |
| Turn vampire into a ghost (via sun death) | traits.equip_trait Vampire_Sun |
| Max out Vampire Lore skill | stats.set_skill_level VampireLore 10 |
| Max out Pipe Organ skill | stats.set_skill_level Major_PipeOrgan 10 |
The Vampire Lore and Pipe Organ skills are new to Vampires, and you can adjust the above codes to your liking, with 10 being the cap for both of these. I tend to set my own Sims at around 7-9, so that they still have a little bit of growth left to do in a particular skill.
How to use cheats
As always, before imputing a cheat, you'll have to open the cheat bar and enable cheats in your game. Once cheats are enabled in your game trophies and achievements will no longer be available in your save file.
- To open the cheat bar, press CTRL + Shift + C if you're on PC
- Mac users will need to hold Command + Shift + C
- Console Simmers, you'll want to hold in all four triggers at one
You'll then get a white box pop up in the top-left of your screen. Here, input 'testingcheats true' and press 'Enter' to enable the cheats option, and you can then use any of the codes on this page.
Now that you can vampire to your vampiric, undead heart's content, check out our homepage for The Sims for all the best mods you can download, or cheats for Toddlers, Werewolves, and Discover University.
