Using the Monster Factory mod, Sims are able to harvest body parts by gravedigging or by purchasing them online. After they do this they can continue to put the body pieces together and then.. IT’S ALIVE!

12. Autonomous Vampire Turning by PolarBearSims

Create a town overrun by vampires.

If you feel as if The Sims 4 doesn’t have enough vampires running around in the game, This mod by PolarBearSims is for you. It is a rather simple mod, as all it does is allows vampire Sims to autonomously turn mortal Sims while allowing mortal sims to be asked to turn instead of on command. Keep it in your game for a while though, and you will begin to realize that the population is becoming more and more undead. 

After time there will be very few mortal Sims making for an apocalyptic type of gameplay. This mod definitely adds tons of story even if it’s a small change. Will you let vampires overrun the world or will you do something to find a cure?

Summon an undead bride using her haunted mirror.

Bloody Mary can be more than a myth with the Haunted Mirror mod by Sacrificial. Rumor has it that the maniacal soul of a murdered bride was trapped in the mirror on her wedding day. Do you dare to summon Hannah the Bride? When Sims chant the Bride’s name into the cursed mirror, a woman named Hannah Ashford will appear somewhere next to the mirror. If you do not protect yourself before calling her name out, she will more than likely use her chainsaw to give any Sim she can find a brutal fate.

Be careful once you call her name, as she never truly leaves the game. She will venture away from the playable lot but will still be able to appear later. If you are up for an ultimate challenge, you can chant multiple brides names and double the chaos. Be warned; the vengeful bride does not make things easy at all!
