Turn a Sim into a vampire
Switch cheats on
Open the console, type testingcheats true, then click your Sim.
Turn the Sim, then set the rank
Enter traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire. New vampires start at the bottom, so set the rank stat next.
The slow bite, and the number guides disagree on
Guides split on stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160. Sims Community and Carl's Sims 4 Guide say it turns the Sim right away, SnootySims says it takes a couple of days, and we couldn't confirm either. Lower numbers give you a countdown: 2100 turns the Sim in about an hour, 1441 in about twelve, 721 in about a day and 1 in about a day and a half.
Sims Online prints 160 where other guides give 2160, so 2160 is in the table. If it does nothing in your game, try 160.
Every vampire cheat
Turn a Sim into a vampire
The trait turns the Sim at once. Guides split on how fast the stat does.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire | What it doesTurns the Sim into a vampire immediately. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 | What it doesStarts the turn, as though the Sim had been bitten. | NotesGuides split on whether 2160 is instant or takes a couple of days. Those that list lower numbers treat them as a countdown, with 1 the longest. One guide prints it with an extra underscore after set_stat, which won't run, so we've corrected the spelling here. |
Rank and experience
These XP numbers come from guides and not from EA, so check the rank in the game.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 202 | What it doesSets the Sim to Minor Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 630 | What it doesSets the Sim to Prime Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1058 | What it doesSets the Sim to Master Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1486 | What it doesSets the Sim to Grand Master Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 | What it doesGrants two spare vampire power points on top of the rank. | Notes |
Vampire Lore and vampire Energy
Lore unlocks the good recipes, and Energy is the motive that replaces sleep.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandstats.set_skill_level VampireLore 15 | What it doesSets the Vampire Lore skill, which runs to 15 rather than 10. | NotesThe only skill in the game with a 15 level cap. Vampirelore works as well, since the console ignores capitalization. | |
Commandstats.set_stat commodity_Motive_Visible_Vampire_Power 100 | What it doesFills the vampire Energy motive. | NotesAny number from -100 to 100 works, so -100 empties it. |
Powers, weaknesses and power points
The bucks commands all need the Sim ID, so look that up first and copy the number the console prints.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandsims.get_sim_id_by_name <First> <Last> | What it doesPrints the vampire's numeric ID in the console. | NotesGive the first and last name just as the game shows them, separated by a space. | |
Commandbucks.unlock_perk <PerkName> true 40961 <SimID> | What it doesUnlocks one vampire power without spending a power point. | NotesOne guide lists power names including BatForm, Mesmerize, Command, VampireCreation, GarlicImmunity, Hallucinate, DetectPersonality, VampireRun, IrresistibleSlumber and ManipulateLifeSpirit. 40961 is the vampire perk tree. Only that guide gives the syntax, so check the result in the powers panel. | |
Commandbucks.unlock_perk <WeaknessName> true 40962 <SimID> | What it doesGives the Sim one vampire weakness. | NotesTwo guides give the pattern but no confirmed list of weakness names, so check the weakness panel after you run it. | |
Commandbucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40961 <SimID> true | What it doesClears the whole power board and gives the power points back. | NotesIf a bucks command seems to do nothing, guides blame a patch that restricted some console commands, though we couldn't confirm that on the current one. |
Cure a vampire
Removing the trait takes the powers, the weaknesses and the rank with it.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |

Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire | What it doesMakes a vampire human again. | Notes |
Rank and XP thresholds
| Rank | Set the XP stat to |
|---|---|
| Minor Vampire | 202 |
| Prime Vampire | 630 |
| Master Vampire | 1058 |
| Grand Master Vampire | 1486 |
| Bar full, two spare power points | 1593 |
Who publishes these numbers
Four guides publish the same five thresholds and EA publishes none of them, so treat the rank names as certain and the numbers as very likely. The stat is rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP, and the full command for each rank is in the table above.
Set the stat lower than the Sim's current value and the rank drops, so it works as a downgrade too.
Powers and power points
If a bucks command does nothing
The console doesn't print anything, so look at the power panel to see if a command worked.
Several guides say a patch stopped the bucks.* perk commands working unless you install a cheat-restoring mod. We couldn't confirm either half on the current patch, so treat it as the reason people give, not as a fact.
The UI Cheats Extension gets around this: right-click a power in the perk panel and it unlocks. You don't need the Sim ID or the tree number.
The three aspiration reward traits
These come from the Vampire aspirations. Every guide we found leaves off the trait_ prefix, so we have too, though the prefixed spelling may also work.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.equip_trait TheMaster | What it doesGives the I Am the Master reward trait. | NotesEvery guide we found leaves the trait_ prefix off TheMaster, TrueMaster and RegainedHumanity, so type them as written. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait TrueMaster | What it doesGives the A True Master reward trait. | NotesEvery guide we found leaves the trait_ prefix off TheMaster, TrueMaster and RegainedHumanity, so type them as written. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait RegainedHumanity | What it doesGives the Regained Humanity reward trait. | NotesEvery guide we found leaves the trait_ prefix off TheMaster, TrueMaster and RegainedHumanity, so type them as written. |

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheat to become a vampire in The Sims 4?
With cheats on and the Sim selected, enter traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire. They'll turn at once, at the first vampire rank. If you'd like a countdown instead, run stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 1, which guides say takes about a day and a half.
How do you get more vampire power points?
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 fills the bar and gives two spare power points, and guides say each new run at the maximum gives two more. To clear the whole board and get every point back, run bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40961 <SimID> true.
What is the Vampire Lore cheat?
It's stats.set_skill_level VampireLore 15. Vampire Lore is the one skill in the game that runs to 15 instead of 10, and maxing it gets you the good recipes and the cure.
