*Important:*

Although this can run without 3rd party mods, more interactions are enabled if you have either or both of the following:

Scumbumbo's XML Injector (Also required for a lot of drinks)
Andrew's Crafting Enabler

Note: Everything requires Vampire Lore Level 9 before they can appear/be crafted.

Just because it's becoming cumbersome to update across multiple sites, please read the Readme file in the latest version for more info, and for recipes.

I will no longer host legacy versions on CursedForge. Please visit the following link on Sims File Share for older versions of the mod.

http://simfileshare.net/folder/225331/

Description:

Blood-sucking is nice & all, but for those sims that either shy away from all that, or are a little lazy to go hunting/asking for blood, or even those that just simply want to put their culinary skills to use for more than the plasma fruit salad alone, this is the mod for them!

Manual Installation

Be sure to remove any previous files from older versions.

If not using the CurseForge app to handle it, just unzip the contents of either zip files into your Sims 4 mod folder.
You can place it into subfolders to a certain extent, as there's no script files.

In windows, it will typically look something like:
C:\Users\<Your User Profile>\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods

For max OSX, it should look like:
Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods

Bugs

If you encounter any issues or bugs, feel free to let me know via the comments section.
