Garlic was a new addition to The Sims 4 with the addition of The Sims 4: Vampires and adds another crop for your Sims' garden or a great defence against vampire attacks. You can even use garlic to decorate your home!
Garlic and vampires
When you control a vampire, you will be able to see a stench coming from any garlic you may encounter and your vampire will have a mood induced by irritation. This will happen if they eat a food containing garlic or if they are close to garlic.
If your sim stays around garlic for too long, the moodlet will become stronger and they will no longer be able to drink plasma from other sims or eat plasma fruit. Your sim can die of thirst if they happen to be thirsty when exposed to garlic for too long.
You can also obtain the vampire power Garlic Immunity which will ensure that your vampire sim is no longer affected by eating or being around garlic.
Where to find garlic
You can find garlic plants in the wild in Forgotten Hollow (the new vampire world) and you can collect these plants to plant in your home or you can use them to make things with garlic. You can also find garlic by using the computer and choosing the garlic you have ordered from the vampire section of the computer. You can also order garlic directly by clicking on a planter.
Creating things with garlic
If your sim reads the Vampire Encyclopedia, they can cultivate the Vampire Lore skill and once they reach level 5 of the skill they will unlock the ability to create home decorations using the garlic in their inventory. They can make 3 different types of garlic decorations that will help keep vampires away:
- Garlic braid: requires 5 pieces of garlic to create a
- Garlic Wreath: Requires 10 pieces of garlic to create the
- Garlic Garland: requires 15 pieces of garlic to create
Drinks you can make with garlic
The Sims 4: Vampires has brought with it some new types of drinks for your Sims to enjoy. Each one needs a different amount of garlic, plasma fruit and wolfsbane and a different level of vampire lore, but they all only require level 1 mixology.
Final thoughts
Garlic is the best way to protect your sims from vampire attacks and a nice way to decorate your house with garlands that your sims can make themselves. Have you already protected your sims from vampires using garlic? How did it go? Let me know in the comments!
