==Description==
==Official description==
[[File:The Sims 3 Late Night Logo.png|left|75px]]''For the first time ever, your Sims can experience late night fun as a VIP! Get your Sims an all-access pass to the hottest spots in town. Whether they mingle with celebrities or enjoy a casual night with friends, your Sims’ social lives are getting a boost! But keep in mind that some scenes are more exclusive than others, so make sure your Sims have the right connections to get past the bouncers at the hottest clubs. Wherever your Sims go, they’ll discover new things to become—adored celebrities, all-night partiers, rowdy bandmates, or vampires. What will your Sims get up to after dark?''
 
==Game Summary==
<blockquote>Get The Party Started! VIP Treatment In Dynamic Urban Setting Filled with High Rise Homes, Parties, Celebrities, Bars… and Even Vampires!</blockquote>
''The Sims 3 Late Night'' gives players all-access to and lets them loose on a vibrant, active downtown scene where they’ll rub elbows with celebrities at the hottest parties, hit the local bar after work, tour the scene with their [[Sim]]s’ band, kick back in a plush hot tub, and discover what’s lurking as the lights go out and adventure begins after dark.
 
''The Sims ''players will soon have a reason to stay out late on the town! The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts will release this fall ''The Sims™ 3 Late Night'' Expansion pack*, the newest expansion to ''The Sims 3'', the best-selling PC game of 2009. This Expansion Pack will be released on October, 26 in North America and October, 28-29 in Europe{{#tag:ref|October, 29 in some parts of Europe, eg. Italy<ref name="gamestop.it">[http://www.gamestop.it/32454_PC_The_Sims_3_Late_Night.aspx GameStop.it - The Sims 3 Late Night]</ref>|group=notes}}
 
''The Sims 3 Late Night'' gives players all-access to and lets them loose on a vibrant, active downtown scene where they’ll rub elbows with celebrities at the hottest parties, hit the local bar after work, tour the scene with their Sims’ band, kick back in a plush hot tub, and discover what’s lurking as the lights go out and adventure begins after dark.
 
Players will be able to take their Sims into the bustling urban setting where they’ll be able to become local celebrities, members of music bands, mixologists, directors, and more. To gain entrance into the most elite clubs in town, Sims need to keep their attitude in check, otherwise they’ll be given the cold shoulder by tough bouncers -or they can find another way onto the list. If chilling is the player’s forte, their Sims can lounge at a chic club or dive bar. Or, if they like to live on the edge, they can discover the secret of becoming a vampire.
