The Sims 3: Late Night/twitter interview

On July 29, 2010, The Sims 3 Producer Grant Rodiek used The Sims 3 Twitter account to answer player questions about the game, including the upcoming Late Night expansion pack. There were a few questions concerning The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff and some more personal questions too.

Facts
Here's a list of facts obtained from the Twitter session.

Full transcript
Are you including elevators in Late Night?

@icreatesims Absolutely! How else would you get to the top floor? Certainly not stairs!

@Robodl95 One of my favorite new romantic options is to make a move. There are some very sexy new dance animations too...

@TheSims3 Will there be seperate skills for each instrument?

@WorldWar3434 Absolutely! Guitar/Drums/Bass/Piano all have skills, opportunities, wishes, you name it.

@TheSims3 Ciao Grant! What new careers and interactions- if any- can we look forward to? :)

@Gavaudin There's a new Film Career that has two branches: Director and Actor. There are some cool things you can do out in the town too!

@TheSims3 Hello will Vampires be able to have, Vampire children?

@FabKail16 How could we have vampires without vampire children! Of course they can reproduce and make vampiric offspring.

@TheSims3 The tall buildings that appear in the trailer are decorative?

@SimDown_ The tall buildings can actually be lived in. If you make enough Simoleons you can even buy one of the luxury high rises.

@TheSims3 Is the new neighborhood a neighborhood like Riverview,Twinbork and Sunset Valley or like a neighborhood where you move?

@AnaLucia95 It's like Twinbrook, Riverview, or Sunset Valley. You can import your sims using Edit Town if you want to keep the same family.

@TheSims3 in the new expansion late night can you become an actor?

@DrewxHoopah Yes, that's one of the paths in the new Film Career. That and Directing.

@TheSims3 Hey Grant! Can I play the drumms in the Sims 3:After Dark?

@Sunset_Valley_F You can play the drums in Late Night, yes! (It's not After Dark)

@TheSims3 can the vampires ages? how long if i set it to epic when my vampire sims is young adult?

@indrabaru1 Vampires will age, but VERY slowly. Vampires will remain young adults and adults for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

@TheSims3 What are the advantages of V.I.P. places over regular ones?

@everythingsims3 Better celebrities, better drinks, and more. Stay tuned for details on clubs!

@TheSims3 Will have many new objects in the game? You can name a few?

@lpts3 We have a lot of new objects. Shuffleboard, darts, bubble bar, new professional bars, 3 new instruments, HOT TUBS.

@TheSims3 will there be more body sliders in CAS to customize our sims more in Late Night?

@jarrodappel There's a new breast slider for females and new muscle sliders for both genders. Let's just say we've had some funny convos.

@TheSims3 Do you know how to make Sims talk while sitting down? And can you tell me about forming a band in Late Night? :)

@WTC4ever We've done a lot of work to make sure Sims can talk while sitting down, having a drink, and more. It looks great!

@thesims3 are ther apartments and how do they work? can every floor be viewed?

@shortmikez The apartments are extensions of Shells from World Adventures. Big models, but with some floors that can be built and lived in.

@TheSims3 What are the new skills? Besides Music skills?

@simsmx Mixology is the other new skill. Create tons of awesome new juice drinks, learn some sweet moves, and even work as a mixologist.

@TheSims3 ur the one who's going to answers questions about late night right?

@St3phrocks I am!

@TheSims3 vampires will be able to leave the light of day is normally or as in The Sims 2 Night Life?

@SimDown_ They can go outside into the sun but only at their own peril. It's best to limit their exposure.

@TheSims3 Will we be able to add any elements of Late Night to our existing neighborhoods?

@icreatesims Yes. Celebrities, bars, band stuff -- you can put all of these in your existing neighborhood if you want.

@TheSims3 What feature in the new expansion most excites you?

@knazzer The race car is hilariously awesome. So fast!

@TheSims3 Okay, because I'm going to make a series and that will be good. If you form a band, can they play at clubs?

@WTC4ever Yes! We have gigs that you can perform. Or, just bring your band and start playing.

@TheSims3 Is there a bowling alley like in The Sims 2?

@simsmx No bowling alley, sorry. We wanted to change up a few things for Late Night.

@TheSims3 Will you be able to, as an actor go to auditions and actually be on a set? Will there be premiere events for my celebrity?

@MasonCoe We do have acting auditions out in the neighborhood. You can also go shoot b-roll footage. It's pretty cool!

@pSIMSp They are shells similar to pyramids in World Adventures. Not rabbit holes!

@gagatontino Yes, there are undergrounds, or subways as we call them here in the states.

@TheOtherAuti Only Late Night is in the works. I'm not sure we can handle more than one at a time!

@dylanrandomness Yes, you can incorporate your ambitions locations into the new neighborhood. We always try to leave some empty space!

@tiffanidawn1289 Insane Sims don't have any particular issues with the graveyard if I recall correctly.

@Desire0367 Anything and everything is possible with The Sims 3.

@knazzer Yes. New traits are Shy and a new one for Celebrity Sims.

@thesims3 is the subway a rabbit hole?

@hellokittysims Yes. You go down into the subway and emerge from another one elsewhere in the world.

@TheSims3 where will the subways go to and from, one side of the world to another?

@sww_sww_sww We have several subways through the neighborhood. You can place your own if you want, even on your Sim's home lot.

@TheSims3 Our talented Articles' Developer wonders if you can marry her http://twitpic.com/29tlvv/full

@darasims_ru YES. Actually I have to say no. I'm already in love.

@TheSims3 Can we sims actor, singer, director see at work? And how?

@voske1990 Yes, your Sims will sometimes have acting and directing jobs outside the film studio.

@Skyline7284 There are a lot of vehicles with fast lane. Maybe 12? I cannot remember the exact number.

@TheSims3 Are there going to be any new places to woohoo?

@sims3blog Yes! You can woohoo in the hot tub and the elevator.

@TheSims3 Heya Grant Pretty cool you letting us ask you some questions. Here is a question Is there going to be new ways to die?

@N3mb3r Vampires can die by thirst!

@TheSims3 will there be paparazzi for rockstars??.

@_Corbin Yes! They can be very annoying. But, the paparazzi are fun to deal with.

@TheSims3 Are the new jobs like in Ambitions?

@JoaoxLucas The new film Career shares some of the Ambitions features, much like the Doctor career.

@TheSims3 What are plasma packs? Ive heard vampires use them.

@DJD703 Plasma Packs are a new snack to satisfy a vampires' thirst.

@TheSims3 In the trailers there is a Bubble blower, are there any other cool effects such as foam & glitter?

@knazzer Yes! The FX machine is AWESOME. It shoots snow, fire, glitter, bubbles...oh man it is so cool.

@TheSims3 What will vampires do when feed from other sims(i.e. the animation for it)?

@vampsrule13 It depends on whether your Sim is romantically involved with them or not.

@TheSims3 how would you describe the new world in the EP, city type?

@sww_sww_sww It has a lovely skyline, tons of tall buildings, beautiful coastline.

@TheSims3 Hey Grant, is there going to be a microphone?

@bugisradio No microphone. We have piano, drums, bass, and of course, still the guitar.

@TheSims3 is there any other ways that a vampire can quench thier thirsts, other than biting inocent sims?

@AMGIQ They aren't always innocent! But yes, plasma packs, plasma fruit, and as you mentioned, drinking from other Sims.

@TheSims3 Were the Vampires influenced by the Twilight Saga in anyway

@djcharding14 No. They are our own creation.

@TheSims3 will there be zombies,witches or other strange creatures in the future??

@Bi92 Anything is possible!

@Gavaudin It's similar to Eccentric for Inventing. It gives you an edge in being and becoming a celebrity.

@TheSims3: I know there's a Shy trait, but what's this mystery 'Celebrity' one? Can you tell us or is it a surprise?

@TheSims3 What kind of furniture could we expect in The Sims 3 Late Night?

@konfidentnl Really awesome furniture. our concept team went all out this time. You will love being a celebrity in our comfy new digs.

@TheSims3 Grant: As a producer, which team within Sims 3 is your favorite and why? J/k, we know it's us. Shhh, don't tell the GPE's! ;-)

@Slansing97 I dunno Slansing97. Do you SMELL like me? No.

@TheSims3 Give us a hint for what we can expect next.

@Ganjray It's going to be a game. I promise you that.

@TheSims3 Does late night have elevators?

@matko07 Yep! Elevator goes up. Elevator goes down. Ding.

@TheSims3 Why doesn't the EP have a micro?

@everythingsims3 We wanted to focus on the band itself. We had a lot of instruments and bass, drums, and pianos were the ones we picked.

@TheSims3 Do you need a high gardening skill to grow plasma fruits? Do you just find the seeds around town?

@FabKail16 No. You can buy seeds or fruit at the store actually. But yes, gardening skill helps.

@TheSims3 Will vampires have a new need?

@JoaoxLucas Thirst replaces hunger. But, vampires play quite differently than other Sims.

@TheSims3 so it's an actual new town? not just a place you can travel to like in sims 2?

@seeme_loveme Yes, it's a new town in which to live.

@TheSims3 Why was a new york based city chosen over an LA type city?

@MasonCoe It actually wasn't inspired by New York...

@TheSims3 HUH? if the vampires shouldn't be outside, then how will they grow there plasma fruit? greenhouse? or.. eat or be eaten? lol.

@baileykeates Go outside during the night! Moonlight doesn't burn them. Only the sun.

@thesims3 what special powers do vampires have?

@prosperousacres They can read minds, hunt others, and become super powerful very quickly.

@TheSims3 are there any new recipes?

@opmystik We added several new recipes for bars and the new food truck. Hot Wings = Delicious.

@TheSims3 Will this EP be opportunity-base yet again? Or will we finally get more simulation?

@Gabryells This is the most simulation driven EP yet. Opportunities are scaled back.

@TheSims3 @replies - Are there any new means of transportation, like subway and chopper? Could you elaborate?

@ArthurMinegussi Yes, there's a new subway.

@TheSims3 What's the name of the new town?

@gtns We haven't settled on a name yet. Have a good suggestion?

@TheSims3 Its just killing me now! Do vampire children need to attend school, do they have a curfew?

@FabKail16 All children, vampire or no, must go to school. It's the law! Plus, we don't want them to be dumb.

@TheSims3 What are some new build mode tools/objects?

@__Diddle You can now build pools on any floor level, circular pools. We added a fountain tool, you can move paintings up and down on wall.

@TheSims3 What's new in build mode?

@__Diddle Half walls, building inside shell buildings...there is a LOT of build/buy stuff.

@TheSims3 If you have Sims in say Sunset Valley how do we transfer them to the new city?

@knazzer go to Edit Town, put them in the library, load the new town, then place them down from the library.

@ArthurMinegussi My Sim was at a packed dive bar today. It can get nice and busy.

@TheSims3 What's your favorite playable creature from the entire Sims series?

@CamiiMania Honestly, the new vampires are by far my favorite. They really rock.

@TheSims3 when can you say that the release date is going to be?

@BestTPro October 26, 2010 worldwide.

@TheSims3 What new tools create a sim?

@TheSims3Brasil We have new sliders! Also, the new clothing and hair assets are gorgeous.

@TheSims3 how can a vampire die?

@_InJuReD_ Death by Thirst, Old Age...really any death except Hunger.

@TheSims3 I'm a Team Jacob fan and Would Love a Wolf PET! forget the Vamps! Go for HOT!

@AbiKat Team Edward all the way. You know it's meant to be.

@TheSims3 Will plasma have a chance to give a vampire a small age reversal?

@Akasen1226 No, it's only a food. But, Life Fruit is guaranteed to make them younger...

@thesims3 new skin colors?

@notanearthling Vampires have a special skin type of sorts (NOT GLITTER). But no, we don't have new "skin types."

@TheSims3 Hey, I need your answers! I wont to sleep, but I am sitting here. WHY?

@kathysolo Because Twitter is addictive?

@TheSims3 does the vampires need to sleep?

@indrabaru1 Yes. We even added a new special bed for them that's quite haunting.

@TheSims3 Grant have you thought about making a facebook/twitter page so we could keep up with whats going on?

@N3mb3r I'd never be able to keep up! Or sleep!

@TheSims3 Will the skin on sims change after becoming a vampire (like get all pale and such) or will it remain the same?

@Indonesian_Cow It changes. It's slightly pale and...unearthly. It looks really cool. Again, NOT GLITTER.

@TheSims3 Please no more, I feel information overload coming on. Please release Late Night NAO!!!!! :)

@WorldWar3434 We are kindred spirits.

@TheSims3 will Sims be able to ask other sims out on dates now, like official dates?

@aeroprincess87 You will have ability to form groups and hang out together. There are romantic groups as well.

@TheSims3 What about the driving system being improved in the future? I don't like it when Sims simply vanish in and out of vehicles...

@gtns Currently the system lets us create ANY car. Fire trucks, racing cars. We prefer this flexibility which we might not otherwise have.

@TheSims3 Can vampires have babies with a regular sim (and make a half vampire baby?)

@silver_moon525 Yes, but there are no half vampires. They either are, or are not a vampire.

@TheSims3 Any new DANCE MOVES in LATE NIGHT?

@Karen445 Yes! And they are smoking hot. Our animators are amazing.

@TheSims3 Can other sims invite us to parties?

@MellsChoco11 Yes! We're really excited to finally get NPC hosted parties. Have fun crashing them (which is possible!)

@TheSims3 Will we have any rabbit hole opened?

@JoaoxLucas We haven't opened up existing rabbit holes.

@TheSims3 are some VIPs from the real world in Late Night?

@iSimsNET We think it's more fun to create our own personality and fiction. But, if you want, YOU can totally create them :)

@TheSims3 Again: Please tell me the Vamps don't sleep in coffins! Also, can I have a puppy please dad!? LOL

@AbiKat No, no coffins. They use regular beds and the new vampire altar.

@TheSims3 if a vampire is in the sun what will happen, Death by fire, a new death? and is death by thirst a new ghost or the same as hunger

@eduardog3000 They get fried by the sun. Too much time and they will very much regret it.

@TheSims3 Can we create our own buildings with the height we want?

@ActualidadSims No, but there is a huge variety of buildings to use.

@TheSims3 So you can't flirt with the bouncers to get in?

@MellsChoco11 If the club has a bouncer you can sneak in, bribe, hack your way in...or get in legitimately with your celeb status.

@TheSims3 ¿Do we need an ability for each musical instrument?

@yerak007 Yeah, we have four musical skills for four musical instruments.

@TheSims3 what kind of new sliders?

@DimensaoSims Breast Sliders for females, muscle sliders for both men and women (they are different than the current muscle sliders).

@TheSims3 So Grant, Any new Sims 3 Voices?

@Karen445 I don't have details but soon I promise :(

@TheSims3 about how much do the penthouse cost

@lopezkid33 They will range in price like current homes. Some cheaper, some VERY expensive.

@TheSims3 Any new facial hair?

@RosalynBown Yes! This was actually a huge request from you guys and we really wanted new facial hair.

@TheSims3 Can the new sliders be inherited by offspring?

@WibbyTee Yes, they are genetic like other CAS features.

@TheSims3 Is it going to exist a potion to make vampires become normal Sims? Or they have to be like that until they die?

@carolina_sofia We have a vampire cure that is a potion.

@TheSims3 When will weather (seasons) become standard?

@MasonCoe I cannot say for sure, but anything is possible.

@TheSims3 do vampires have specific traits, which only they can use?

@InfiniteSims No, but they have tons of unique behavior. They are really great.

@TheSims3 Will we have water reflection??

@JoaoxLucas Yes. Our engineers put in some gorgeous new water reflections. Load up China or Egypt especially -- GORGEOUS.

@Hraklis Yes, there is the new subway and new film studio.

@Hraklis PLUS we made updates to some old rabbit holes for variety.

@TheSims3 is death by thirst a new ghost or the same as hunger?

@eduardog3000 New ghost!

@TheSims3 Hows does a Sim become a Vampire in Late Night?

@DamienF519 You need to find a vampire, befriend them, and convince them to turn you. I bet the hidden vampire bar is a good place...

@TheSims3 Is Late Night going to be rated T?

@beachchickadee T for Teen

@TheSims3 Mr Rodiek: Does Twinbrook have any relation to Innsmouth by Lovecraft ?

@sims3blog No. Twinbrook is inspired by the gulf coastline, i.e. Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi.

@TheSims3 Is the new EP basically gonna be a mix of The Sims: Hot Date, and The Sims: House Party?

@jer012 No, it's not quite that simple. We took a lot of our favorite features and mixed them in a totally new way. (Plus new stuff!)

@TheSims3 when sims go on the subway will there be loading screens or will it just pan as if theyre in a taxi to where theyre going?

@josieandrews96 No loading screens! A short time after entering one subway your Sim will exit another.

@TheSims3 they say theres vampire bloodlines

@shawne1000 What bloodlines thing?

@krJU No, but you CAN hire a butler. I love asking him for advice :)

@InfiniteSims Vampires can eat grilled cheese if they want, but...it won't satisfy them.

@Iguirdo haha, that would be fun. For now we're focused on making the breast and muscle sliders great.

@bafendo 3 new hot tubs. They look fantastic.

@Gurra09 The subway is free UNLESS you get mugged. But...that doesn't happen THAT often. It's faster than driving.

@josieandrews96 You pick your end destination.

@JoaoxLucas The pools have huge updates. You can now build them on any floor (so, top floor of a penthouse!) and they are curved.

@karensejer No. The Vampires in Late Night are awesome, modern, and cool. No goofball blood suckers here.

@Indonesian_Cow You need to ask. We're not too big on wanton violence :)

@Hraklis Vampires have a favorite food. O Positive :) and yes, new music too.

@TheSims3 I hope you're aware that a patch broke the ability of lamps to spread light to floors above (outdoors). Please fix it!

@MellsChoco11 That sounds really sweet. Thanks for the idea.

@RenzSarayba Yes, they can (assuming it's not too late and curfew kicks in). The focus is definitely for adults, however.

@TheSims3 May I build subway stations by my own, on any lot in any neighbourhood? Even the ones I create in CAW?

@Gurra09 Yes, they are basically a big object. You can place them on any lot type, even your own. They will be in buydebug.

@TheSims3 You can get mugged on the subway? I thought it was Rated T?

@DJD703 It's not a violent mugging. You can get "mauled by bears" technically in The Sims 3. We're silly, not violent!

@TheSims3 Would you consider making a vacations expansion that is different from WA that has more of a relaxing nonquest theme or was WA it?

@Candi_Dyla Yeah, we would consider anything actually. That's a good idea. I do so love vacation :)

@TheSims3 Hi ! What is the color of the logo and the box of Late Night? =)

@BricaSims We're not done making the box art or logos yet. So, I cannot tell you. What color would you prefer?

@TheSims3 ARE YOU GOING TO INCORPORATE HOTELS AT THE NEW EXPANSION PACK????????????

@mysims3life No hotels. You live in the new neighborhood, not visit.

@TheSims3 is there any traffic light!!???? Traffic Light??@@

@indrabaru1 The traffic light is a decorative object, so no, we don't have a complex traffic system :)

@TheSims3 What? How do you get Mauled by Bears in TS3?

@severedsolo Hang out in the mausoleum WAY too long.

@TheSims3 English neighbourhood would be epic! But not too much sterotypes!! :D Stuff like Windsor Castle, London, english villages and such

@IonosphereRhino Haha, you say no stereotypes then say we need to build castles. You're silly :) (But I DO love London)

@SpinTheMoon Late Night is all about going out on the town and hanging with friends. Awesome late night experiences. No ocean swimming atm.

@TheSims3 will there be elevators?!!

@eduardog3000 Yes!

@TheSims3 Grant, Will there be a DJ booth in Late Night?

@jilliankloster No DJ booth. We wanted to focus on instruments for now.

@thesims3 will there ever be a way to make a living by being a "tattoo artist?"

@JxG1991 You can do that in Ambitions. Your Sim earns money when doing tattoos for others.

@w3by We have this wicked new goatee based on one of our engineers. You can see it on the bouncer in the trailer!

@TheSims3 what new career? what are the personality characteristics of the new sims ?

@redlee_ Film Career! Shy! Star Quality!

@TheSims3 And the trailer for The Sims 3 Fast Lane?

@DimensaoSims What about the trailer?

@TheSims3 what´s about paparazzi????????

@krJU Paparazzi are in the game. They will sneak around to take photos of celebs.

@TheSims3 Grant, are there any plans for a Pets installment? Maybe with added pets, like birds, gerbils, snakes... ?

@tokyocentricity Anything is possible. Right now, we're all about going out on the town ;)

@TheSims3 What about the weather in the game?

@kathysolo Weather in the new neighborhood is sunny and bright for now. Advisory warning if you're a vampire.

@thesims3 is their spiral staircases i really want to know

@hellokittysims We added a ton of new features for build mode but not spiral staircases (I listed it in a previous tweet).

@TheSims3 How will existing Sunset Valley/Riverview/Twinbrook families benefit from this EP?

@LamaDaan The same as families in new EP. You can have celebs, bars, bands, and more in your old neighborhood if you want.

@TheSims3 Will the vampires have special clothing (like gothic clothing)?

@Indonesian_Cow We didn't create vampire specific clothing but we did add a ton of new outfits. They are easily the best we've made.

@TheSims3 in the sims 3 late night trailer is that the final look of the vampires because they dont look very vampire-ish, will they act dif

@seanmcbay15 The game is always changing. The video is based on some early footage.

@TheSims3 @replies What are the advantages of V.I.P. places over regular ones?

@ArthurMinegussi More celebrities, cooler people, better objects and activities, better drinks...overall higher quality.

@thesims3 Do you get tipped or paid for playing instruments/gigs????

@tinydancer114 Heck yeah! Musicians don't work for free! (Unless they are bad musicians).

@TheSims3 How many traits will come with Late Night? I hope it's a lot. Please let there be lots! That's my favourite thing about EPs!

@Candi_Dyla This time we only added 2 more traits. But we love them too so don't worry. There's also another trait you'll be getting soon...

@TheSims3 did u get the idea for a film career from me? i put a movie on the website saying there should be a "The Sims 3: On Air"??????????

@A__J__D No, we didn't. It made sense for us to have a film career in a game with a big emphasis on celebrities. Great minds think alike!

@DimensaoSims what's new in 'create a sim'?

@redlee_ New outfits, new hair, and the breast slider (for women) and new muscle slider for both genders.

@TheSims3 @replies - Will building have underground parking?

@ArthurMinegussi No, but you could build a basement and put parking spaces in it if you wanted...

@TheSims3 CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE VAMPIRE BLOODLINES, R THEY LIKE FAMILY TREES FOR VAMPIRES?!!

@AMGIQ No need to shout sir! There aren't vampire bloodlines. They pass on their traits and abilities genetically though.

@TheSims3 New trait for fast lane?

@WibbyTee Maybe

@TheSims3 Ripped abs for all the men!!! lol

@sims3blog Not just ripped ads. SMOKIN' ripped abs. (ladies too)

@TheSims3 Is Night Life already in Beta?

@caioaugusto No.

@TheSims3 SIMS 3 SEASONS NEXT GRANT!!!!!!!!! SIMS 3 SEASONS

@Karen445 I DO love Seasons. It was the last EP I made before moving to Sims 3.

@TheSims3 Will there be any quests in the expansion pack? :)

@Prosims We added new opportunities for the new skills and career, as well as gigs for the band.

@thesims3 can your sims get jobs at the night clubs?

@oceaneyesxo Your Sim can moonlight as a mixologist or earn money in the band.

@TheSims3 What is the best part about making a new EP?

@Umi_and_Alter Creating something new and special. Incorporating fan ideas and community requests. Taking our Sims on a new adventure :)

@TheSims3 are the original rabbit holes in the new neighborhood or are there new ones??

@kaksisauna Some old. We've modified the art for some of the old ones to look new, and we added tons of buildings, subways, and film studio.

@Thesims3 What happens when a Vampire eats Garlic?

@Lehdkat They aren't happy :) I have to leave SOME surprises.

@TheSims3 If a celeb sim has kids, are the kids instant celebs, or will they have to work for it?

@XxSarahLanexX There's a new Teen Celebrity part time job only available to children of celebs :)

@TheSims3 is paparazzi a new job, too???

@krJU No. It's an NPC that lingers around town.

@TheSims3 have new tattoo designs?

@redlee_ Yes, we added a few new tats.

@TheSims3 what will be the next ep?!

@jd121296 I don't know. We're entirely focused on Late Night so you (and we) will just have to see.

@TheSims3 When will the The Sims 3 Late Night Logo will be "released"? Is it already finished?

@caiolacava It isn't finished yet. We're working on it as we type. I'm actually designing it with my feet.

@TheSims3 how do actors get paid?

@MasonCoe By the local restaurant they tend to wait tables at.

@MasonCoe OH you meant in Late Night. Sorry, that was mean. They get paid just like any other career.

@TheSims3 what kind of effects will the new drinks have on Sims?

@aeroprincess87 There's a little bit of variety to the drink effects. You'll have to wait and see!

@TheSims3 Will the celebrity job work like the jobs in base game, like Ambitions jobs, like the celebrity job in Superstar or in a new way??

@Gurra09 It isn't a job. You build points by acting like a celebrity, such as schmoozing, doing things in careers, and more.

@TheSims3 PLEASE are we getting restaurants or not?? PLEASE GRANT

@Hraklis We have not added any changes to the existing base game restaurants.

@TheSims3 will there be a new trailer release over the upcoming months? Plus...how does the fountain tool work? Thanks for answering Q's :)

@Doodlesam54321 Hard to explain the fountain tool via twitter. It's a flexible way to make really cool fountains. It's pretty amazing.

@TheSims3 will there be a sims 2 complete collection & what do u no about the sims through space and time ? please answer im in uk and tired

@seanmcbay15 I don't know about Sims through space and time. Though I did see my past self earlier. He looked weird.

@TheSims3 what does plasma look like??

@kaksisauna Red.

@TheSims3 How will kid vampires go to school during the day?

@Wolfgang814 Very quickly to avoid the sun. (Though to be honest the full effects of vampirism hit later in life).

MellsChoco11 @TheSims3 Will Sims be able to live in normal houses as well???

@MellsChoco11 Yep! We've built some gorgeous new homes.

@TheSims3 Are there going to many new hairstyles?

@strelitzia19 There are quite a few. I love them.

@TheSims3 You say that they're new instruments +gigs for bands. Are there any new interactions b/c of this? Like asking ppl 2 join ur band?

@Mainehorse Yes! You can form bands with others, kick people out, have jam sessions...

@TheSims3 do you imagine you doing another job than Sims? :D

@carolina_sofia I think it'd be fun to be a teacher. Or own a bookstore.

@TheSims3 How many hot tubs will the game come with?

@nickimbrogno Tres. Drei. Three.

@TheSims3 GRANT, ITS IMPORTANT :D will there be folding beds?

@iSimsNET No folding beds at this time.

@TheSims3 will vampires die under the sun?

@alexchooo123 They won't die from the sun, but it's worse. They must live without their powers until they recover from their blisters.
