Bridgeport

Bridgeport is a neighborhood that was released in The Sims 3: Late Night expansion pack. It is designed to focus on late night activities, and is similar in many respects to Downtown, a previous sub-neighborhood introduced in The Sims: Hot Date and The Sims 2: Nightlife expansion packs.

With the official announcement of Late Night, it was apparent that a new town would be created to showcase the new features in the expansion. Initially, it was unknown whether this would be a sub-neighborhood and thus similar to the Downtown of The Sims and The Sims 2, or whether it would be an entirely new neighborhood (much like The Sims 3: Ambitions introduced Twinbrook) Although it is said that Bridgeport is 3x bigger than Twinbrook. During a Twitter session on July 29th, 2010, game producer Grant Rodiek confirmed the existence of a "downtown" that would be its own separate neighborhood; it was also announced that the town was unnamed, thus indicating that the new town would most likely not be named 'Downtown'. GameSpot, in an article released on August 16, 2010, revealed that the name of the new neighborhood is 'Bridgeport'.

The town of Bridgeport includes high rises and penthouse lofts. It has similar features to Twinbrook, in the way that it is made of multiple islands connected by bridges. Sims are able to both drive and walk over these bridges. It has been described as "a mix of downtown San Francisco with the hills of Los Angeles/Hollywood just across the bridge"

Bridgeport is divided in two main areas. An urban city center and a more sub-urban area with luxury mansions
