Ahead of the livestream demo tomorrow, EA has revealed more details about The Sims 4: Vampires game pack. Earlier this week, we learned Vampires have a ton of powers, such as superspeed and mind control. The Sims blog post even revealed how Vampires can develop those powers, but now we know a bit more about how Vampires needs work.

SimGuruNinja posted a photo The Sims forums, revealing Vampires have five needs: Thirst, Hygiene, Social, Fun and (of course) Energy.

In another post, the producer also gave more details about how Vampire power points and the rank system works.

-Doing Vampire stuff gets you Vampire Experience (VXP) & Power Points.

-VXP gain unlocks tiers of Powers to choose from.

-Power Points are used to actually purchase the powers (each power costs some amount of Power Points).

-You can spend freely in any of the unlocked tiers (for example, you can buy all the tier 1 powers, buy all the tier 2 powers, or mix and match between the tiers).

-Each time your VXP unlocks a new tier, you'll be required to take on a new weakness.

-Super-smart Vampires (ones that have done their due diligence regarding studying Vampire Lore) may know how to reconfigure their Powers/Weaknesses.

The Vampire Rank panel teases there's more than seven available powers.
