The Sims 3: Late Night

The Sims 3: Late Night is the third expansion pack for The Sims 3. It was confirmed on July 20, 2010 at EA's Studio Showcase 2010. Its announced features are reminiscent of features also included in The Sims: Hot Date, The Sims 2: Nightlife, The Sims: Superstar, The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Urbz: Sims in the City. The game was released on October 26, 2010 in North America, and in Europe on October 29, 2010

According to an official sneak peek at Late Night it will offer players a more mature, realistic and urban environment when compared to earlier similar expansions. Previews of the expansion have described it as being more about friend outings than dating and to be more simulation-driven instead of opportunity-driven as the first two expansions were.

Official description
"Get The Party Started! VIP Treatment In Dynamic Urban Setting Filled with High Rise Homes, Parties, Celebrities, Bars… and Even Vampires!"

The Sims players will soon have a reason to stay out late on the town! The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts will release this fall The Sims™ 3 Late Night Expansion pack*, the newest expansion to The Sims 3, the best-selling PC game of 2009. This Expansion Pack will be released on October, 26 in North America and October, 28-29 in Europe

The Sims 3 Late Night gives players all-access to and lets them loose on a vibrant, active downtown scene where they’ll rub elbows with celebrities at the hottest parties, hit the local bar after work, tour the scene with their Sims’ band, kick back in a plush hot tub, and discover what’s lurking as the lights go out and adventure begins after dark.

Players will be able to take their Sims into the bustling urban setting where they’ll be able to become local celebrities, members of music bands, mixologists, directors, and more. To gain entrance into the most elite clubs in town, Sims need to keep their attitude in check, otherwise they’ll be given the cold shoulder by tough bouncers -or they can find another way onto the list. If chilling is the player’s forte, their Sims can lounge at a chic club or dive bar. Or, if they like to live on the edge, they can discover the secret of becoming a vampire.

Whether embarking on a new career, painting the town red, or throwing a party on the rooftop of a penthouse, it’s always up to the player to tell their unique stories with The Sims 3. What will happen when the lights go out and Sims get all access?
