Bridgeport: Difference between revisions

|image = [[File:Bridgeport thumbnail.png|250px]]

|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.

===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).

 

==Trivia==

* 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 players can see pigeons hanging around the front of town hall during the day.

* 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.

* 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.
