Can teen vampires go to school in the Sims 2?

Answer 1

Yes.

Vampires' needs decay extremely quickly in sunlight, though, so you have to plan carefully.

Get your teen a coffin on the ground floor, near the front door. Give him a dresser in his bedroom. Build the front door quite close to the road. Get into the coffin as usual when the sun comes up. Then, when the school bus comes, follow these steps:

1. Arise from the coffin.
2. Change to day clothes.
3. Click on the ground near the bus, very near where the teen will get in. Choose "Fly" or "Run". (I prefer "fly", personally. It seems to cut some of the sunlight drain.) Let the teen run to that spot, then pause the game.
4. Click on the bus, choose "Go to School". Your teen will get in.

When he gets home, cancel the action ("Arrive" or something like that) and immediately choose "fly to" or "run to" the space just outside his coffin.

Lazy vampires will refuse to run and should always fly.

The trick is to minimize the time spent in the sun!

FYI: A vampire with full needs will die in the sunlight after about an hour; but long before that, his needs will be so low that he gets out of the coffin to pee or complain about something; so don't cut it too close.
