|caption = 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?

'''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 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.

==Technical Problems==
===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 [
===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 [
[[File:Late Night City Hall Opp.png|thumb|An Opportunity from Professional Sports affected by this 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).
A fix for this glitch is included in the [[Overwatch|NRaas Overwatch]] as of version 122 of the mod.<ref>[https://www.nraas.net/community/Overwatch-Release-Notes Overwatch Release Notes]</ref>
==Trivia==
* 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,<ref>[[Wikipedia:Bridgeport (disambiguation)]]</ref> most notably [[Wikipedia:Bridgeport, Connecticut|Bridgeport, Connecticut]].
* Many players believe Bridgeport has a similar appearance to [[wikipedia:New York City|New York City]], [[wikipedia:Detroit|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.<ref>[[The Sims 3: Late Night/twitter]]</ref> Graham Nardone stated that Bridgeport is loosely based on Pittsburgh as inspiration.<ref>[http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6003/5959461537_daecde5736.jpg Graham's Tweet]</ref> Rebecca Shearin notes that the overall location is based in the Pacific Northwest.<ref>[http://rjshearin.com/uploads/3/4/6/8/34680150/frontpage05_lg.jpg Bridgeport development image]</ref>
* 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
* 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
* 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
