Plasma

Plasma is a nutrient-rich component of blood, including Sim blood. It is used by vampires in The Sims 3: Late Night and The Sims 4: Vampires to satisfy their thirst motive, which they have instead of hunger.
The Sims 3: Late Night / The Sims 3: Supernatural[]
As stated in a Twitter session with Grant Rodiek, vampire Sims are also able to grow plasma fruits, which they can buy from the grocery store or at night in their own personal gardens. Vampires will also be able to eat plasma packs from refrigerators, which function the same as snacks for human Sims. A vampire can also raid a hospital for Plasma packs, or raid the grocery store for Plasma fruits.
If vampires have the Vegetarian trait, they are limited to only plasma fruit, instead of plasma from other Sims. If a regular Sim ingests any plasma product, they will become ill. Plasma packs are only available to Vampires, and regular Sims can't drink from Plasma packs.
Non-vampire Sims can eat plasma safely if they have the Simmunity[TS3:S] or Strong Stomach[TS3:IP] lifetime rewards.
The Baker's Station included in the Deliciously Indulgent Bakery[Store] Store set lets Sims cook the Plasma Cobbler meal. It improves the Thirst motive but does not give the "Sated" moodlet.
One of the available drinks that only vampires can order at professional bars and pool bars[TS3:IP] on specific lot assignments[note 1] is called Plasma Punch, but is not known to improve the Thirst motive.
The Sims 4: Vampires[]

Plasma, plasma packs, and plasma Fruits return in The Sims 4: Vampires. Plasma packs can be ordered on the computer by a Sim who has studied the vampire lore skill. Plasma packs can also be created from fish or frogs by Sims who have a high enough vampire lore skill; these packs will be of higher quality and quench more thirst. If a lot has the trait "Registered vampire lair", Sims will occasionally receive plasma packs through the mailbox. Normal Sims can be asked for a drink, or compelled into letting the vampire bite them. If a Sim has purchased a certain vampire power point, they can "drain life spirit" from another Sim; this will provide the highest amount of plasma but the victim will pass out.
Sims can make fizzy plasma fruit juice if The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle is installed, and they can also make plasma fruit nectar if The Sims 4: Horse Ranch is installed. Both of these drinks will satiate vampire thirst and make them feel happy. If non-vampires have them, they will instead become nauseous and uncomfortable.
Trivia[]
- Plasma packs and fruits are red in The Sims 3: Late Night, while they are purple in The Sims 4: Vampires. In the latter case, this may have been a deliberate choice as retaining the blood-red color may have been too obvious as a stand-in for blood.
- Plasma Fruit plants are bushes in The Sims 3: Late Night, and trees in The Sims 4: Vampires.
- It is presumed that Plasma is used instead of Blood in order to maintain a lower age-rating for the respective games.
