Here are some things I left out: UPDATED 11/03/07
1. Vampires still have the ability to get pregnant and have children. However, the children will NOT be vampires.
2. You will need the NIGHTLIFE EP in order to get a vampire.
3. Regular sims also have the ability to sleep in coffins (random fact).
4. Biting a victim will NOT improve the vampire's hunger (there is a hack for that at modthesims2.com, though).
5. THE REASON MY VAMPIRE'S SKIN DOESN'T TURN INTO THE DEFAULT VAMPIRE SKIN is because I have a mod that allows a sim to keep thier original skin upon turning into a vampire. The mod is by Squinge, and I got it at InSiminator.com. HOWEVER, Squinge has since left InSiminator, and has had all his mods taken down. I am not aware that his downloads are available anywhere else. EDIT: yes, his mods ARE in fact still available, but they're not supported, so they may not work with certain expansions unless somebody updates them.

Thanks so much to texkit1 for sharing this!
6. You can also influence a vampire to bite another sim. You don't even need to be friends with the vampire; just have enough influence points to be able to influence to bite the selected sim.
7. You can also influence a vampire to drink the Vamprocilan-D. Simply buy the potion from the matchmaker, and when the selected vampire is around, take the potion out of your inventory and put it on the ground. Then, influence the vampire to drink it.
8. A Vampire's needs can actually go down depending on what activities and actions he/she is doing. For example, working out will still lower a vampire's comfort, hygiene, and energy.
9. If you invite vampires over as guests, you don't have to worry about them staying for too long and getting burned up. Vampires, if not already engaged in an activity, are programmed to leave at 6AM.
10. You can also use boolprop to instantly get a vampire. In neighborhood mode, just call up the cheat box (ctrl+shift+c) and type in "boolProp testingCheatsenabled true" (you don't need the capital letters, just spell it right). Then enter the lot where the sim you want changed into a vampire lives. Shift-click on him/her, and look through the options until you find "Make Vampire" or somthing like that. KEEP IN MIND, using boolprop to get a vampire will set him/her to the default vampire skin and eyes, regardless of any hacks you have to prevent this from happening.
