'''Bridgeport''' is a [[world]] that ships with ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''. It is the first urban [[SimNation#Cities|city]] of its kind to be featured in ''The Sims'' series games as most past neighborhoods and worlds were either towns or suburbs.

'''Bridgeport''' is a [[neighborhood|city neighborhood]] which is shipped with ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' expansion pack<ref name="GameSpot article">[http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/thesims3latenightexpansionpack/news.html?sid=6273541&mode=previews GameSpot article, August 16, 2010]</ref>. It is the first urban [[SimNation#Cities|city]] of its kind to be featured on the Sims series games as most past neighborhoods were either towns or suburbs.


Bridgeport was founded by [[Ebenezer Alto]], as stated in the town's description. In the past, Bridgeport was once a shipping town that was full of sailors and smugglers, where the only beach in Bridgeport is named the Smuggler's Cove, situated on a small coastline facing the bridge and the bay. Some time later, Bridgeport has turned into a nightlife city when the film industry came to the city, changing the small town into a bustling downtown with high-rise buildings.
==Overview==
==Overview==
[[File:Bridgeport.2.jpg|thumb|220x220px]]
Bridgeport 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. However, Bridgeport is a not a town but a major metropolitan city therefore it is a much larger version of a Downtown.
Bridgeport is designed to focus on late night activities, and is similar in many respects to the [[Downtown]] [[sub-neighborhood]]s in ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]''. Bridgeport consists of two sections connected with a large bridge. The urban city center is where all the [[bar]]s, [[Club (The Sims 3: Late Night)|club]]s, [[lounge]]s, and [[penthouse]]s are located. The other section is an exclusive neighborhood for the wealthy, where most high-star [[Celebrity|celebrities]] live in their mansions. There are other celebrities who live in the urban area as well, and the city center has a [[film studio]] for Sims who are employed as [[Film|actors and actresses]]. The urban city center faces the ocean, while the wealthy neighborhood is located further to the east.


Bridgeport is a special late night town, which differs from the other worlds in ''The Sims 3''. In Bridgeport, fake taxi cabs will appear across the town to simulate a bustling downtown feeling. Some wildlife animals, i.e. wild horses, [[deer]], and [[raccoon]]s, will also not appear in Bridgeport. Bridgeport also has different work hours than the other worlds, which mostly occur around the afternoon and evening. Bridgeport is a suitable place for single young adults and older to have fun and party. Most residents are also on average richer than other families in different worlds.
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 [[The Sims 3: Late Night/twitter|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' <ref>[[The Sims 3: Late Night/twitter]]</ref>. GameSpot, in an article released on August 16, 2010, revealed that the name of the new neighborhood is 'Bridgeport'<ref name="GameSpot article" />


==Lots==
The city 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<ref>[http://twitter.com/SimTimes/status/21653768428 SimTimes tweet] Bridgeport is an island connected with bridges</ref>. It has been described as ''"a mix of downtown San Francisco with the hills of Los Angeles/Hollywood just across the bridge"''<ref name="gamesrader preview3">[http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/the-sims-3/news/exclusive-what-its-like-to-be-a-celebrity-the-sims-3-late-night/a-20100915103034409025/g-20061106113750640058/p-2 GamesRadar - EXCLUSIVE: What it’s like to be a celebrity The Sims 3: Late Night]</ref>

===Routing/Lag issue===
===Routing/Lag issue===
Bridgeport features several major flaws in its construction. Firstly, EA has managed to build two identical roads directly on top of one another in one particular area. This mistake confuses the routing system, slowing down performance and forcing cars and Sims to move about the world in sometimes strange ways. Secondly, there are small patches of routable terrain in the hills near the radio towers. NPCs and townies get stuck in these patches. These trapped Sims constantly try to walk somewhere, and this can cause slowness and lag. Eventually these trapped Sims die of starvation. The third issue is the routing when traveling in groups. The leader of the group will use the subway, though the others might choose to walk, even if the destination is very far. For these reasons, Bridgeport's performance will always be substandard unless the town is fixed in a patch, or via [http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=452601 mods].

===Cannot create [[SimBot]]===
===Cannot create [[SimBot]]===
Another problem has been reported by some players that they can't build a [[SimBot ]]in Bridgeport, because the option menu to "Create a mystery invention" or "Create a SimBot" at the [[Workbenches|Workbench]] isn't available. This makes Sims who already have a lifecore in their inventory unable to complete the opportunity even if they are moved to another world like [[Twinbrook]], because the lifecore is still stuck there and can't be removed normally. A game [http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=437402 mod]has been created to fix this problem, it will make the "Create a mystery invention" or "Create a SimBot" option will be available again.

===Multi-Rabbit Holes Glitch===
===Multi-Rabbit Holes Glitch===
Due to multi-rabbit holes in this town, some opportunities (such as this one from [[Professional Sports Career|Professional Sports]]) are not able to be completed despite the appropriate building (e.g. City Hall) being there. This is because the game assumes that the lot is invalid and therefore there are no options. This glitch can be resolved if the building from ''The Sims 3'' base game or ''Ambitions'' is used (e.g. the Sunset Valley City Hall).

*Cities in ''The Sims 3'' generate large amounts of decorative taxis on the road.
* According to the description of the building where the "Mixture of Good and Bad" household lives, the Off Ramp Building is the only apartment that was spared during the bridge construction at the time. The last building to be demolished was the building beside the Off Ramp which was used to be favored by tourists before the demolition.

Founded by Ebenezer Alto at the turn of the century, Bridgeport was once a busy shipping town inhabited by sailors and smugglers. However, when the film industry came to the city, celebrities, Simoleons, and the sparkling lights of fame took over. Now a vibrant city with an energetic night life and bustling club scene, Bridgeport has made its mark on the map. With all the lights on, will its past ever resurface?
Name Bridgeport
Game  The Sims 3: Late Night
Onomatology

Bridgeport is a world that ships with The Sims 3: Late Night. It is the first urban city of its kind to be featured in The Sims series games as most past neighborhoods and worlds were either towns or suburbs.

Bridgeport was founded by Ebenezer Alto, as stated in the town's description. In the past, Bridgeport was once a shipping town that was full of sailors and smugglers, where the only beach in Bridgeport is named the Smuggler's Cove, situated on a small coastline facing the bridge and the bay. Some time later, Bridgeport has turned into a nightlife city when the film industry came to the city, changing the small town into a bustling downtown with high-rise buildings.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Bridgeport is designed to focus on late night activities, and is similar in many respects to the Downtown sub-neighborhoods in The Sims: Hot Date and The Sims 2: Nightlife. Bridgeport consists of two sections connected with a large bridge. The urban city center is where all the bars, clubs, lounges, and penthouses are located. The other section is an exclusive neighborhood for the wealthy, where most high-star celebrities live in their mansions. There are other celebrities who live in the urban area as well, and the city center has a film studio for Sims who are employed as actors and actresses. The urban city center faces the ocean, while the wealthy neighborhood is located further to the east.

Bridgeport is a special late night town, which differs from the other worlds in The Sims 3. In Bridgeport, fake taxi cabs will appear across the town to simulate a bustling downtown feeling. Some wildlife animals, i.e. wild horses, deer, and raccoons, will also not appear in Bridgeport. Bridgeport also has different work hours than the other worlds, which mostly occur around the afternoon and evening. Bridgeport is a suitable place for single young adults and older to have fun and party. Most residents are also on average richer than other families in different worlds.

Homeless Sims[edit | edit source]

These Sims are pre-made, but homeless when Bridgeport is first loaded.

Technical Problems[edit | edit source]

Routing/Lag issue[edit | edit source]

Bridgeport features several major flaws in its construction. Firstly, EA has managed to build two identical roads directly on top of one another in one particular area. This mistake confuses the routing system, slowing down performance and forcing cars and Sims to move about the world in sometimes strange ways. Secondly, there are small patches of routable terrain in the hills near the radio towers. NPCs and townies get stuck in these patches. These trapped Sims constantly try to walk somewhere, and this can cause slowness and lag. Eventually these trapped Sims die of starvation. The third issue is the routing when traveling in groups. The leader of the group will use the subway, though the others might choose to walk, even if the destination is very far. For these reasons, Bridgeport's performance will always be substandard unless the town is fixed in a patch, or via mods.

Cannot create SimBot[edit | edit source]

Another problem has been reported by some players that they can't build a SimBot in Bridgeport, because the option menu to "Create a mystery invention" or "Create a SimBot" at the Workbench isn't available. This makes Sims who already have a lifecore in their inventory unable to complete the opportunity even if they are moved to another world like Twinbrook, because the lifecore is still stuck there and can't be removed normally. A game mod has been created to fix this problem, it will make the "Create a mystery invention" or "Create a SimBot" option will be available again.

An Opportunity from Professional Sports affected by this glitch.

Multi-Rabbit Holes Glitch[edit | edit source]

Due to multi-rabbit holes in this town, some opportunities (such as this one from Professional Sports) are not able to be completed despite the appropriate building (e.g. City Hall) being there. This is because the game assumes that the lot is invalid and therefore there are no options. This glitch can be resolved if the building from The Sims 3 base game or Ambitions is used (e.g. the Sunset Valley City Hall).

A fix for this glitch is included in the NRaas Overwatch as of version 122 of the mod.[1]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • The overall geography, climate and shape of the city is similar to Seattle and Vancouver.
  • There are roads on the edges of the peninsula that has borders with signs with an Interstate Highway shield with number 99 on it. It has 2 parts that goes parallel to the peninsula.
  • Bridgeport is the name of many cities in the United States,[2] most notably Bridgeport, Connecticut.
  • Many players believe Bridgeport has a similar appearance to New York City, Detroit, and other major American cities. The bridge bears a faint resemblance to the Brooklyn Bridge. However, EA has stated it is not based upon New York City.[3] Graham Nardone stated that Bridgeport is loosely based on Pittsburgh as inspiration.[4] Rebecca Shearin notes that the overall location is based in the Pacific Northwest.[5]
  • The Brightmore's sign is based on Big Al's in San Francisco.
  • The Movie Cineplex's signs, and its general shape, is based on those found on the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles.
  • The three radio towers resemble the radio towers found in the Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle.
  • The players can see pigeons hanging around the front of town hall during the day.
  • Smuggler's Cove may have a connection to Barnacle Bay.[confirmation needed]
  • Some townies are family members of playable Sims, such as Flo-Flo Chique and Ryan Atkins.
  • Several urns and gravestones are scattered about the city's alleyways. Also, similar to Twinbrook's and Barnacle Bay's green-colored deceased Sims, the deceased Sims have a grey color scheme.
  • There is a "small city" behind Bridgeport. The player can see it by using cameraman mode and following the road that leads outskirts of the city.
  • Bridgeport generates decorative fake taxis on the road to make it look bustling.
  • Around Bridgeport are many roads which sink into the sea and one of the roads leading out of the city is cut off by a landslide. This hints towards a possible earthquake that occurred before the game's start, a possible reference to the 1989 San Francisco Earthquake.
  • Bridgeport's biography, the community lot "Smuggler's Cove" and the old red building near the City Hall are the only three solid proofs that smugglers were once the dwellers of Bridgeport.
  • According to the description of the building where the "Mixture of Good and Bad" household lives, the Off Ramp Building is the only apartment that was spared during the bridge construction at the time. The last building to be demolished was the building beside the Off Ramp which was used to be favored by tourists before the demolition.
