Vampire theme pack

Vampire theme pack screenshot

On November 6, 2009, EA announced the release of a vampire theme pack for the iPhone. The pack included Live it or Wear it Sets with Vampires and Werewolves, Castle and Campus Life themes. “Live it” sets contain car, furniture, decoration, wallpaper, and flooring. “Wear it” sets contain clothing, new CAS options, and hair styles.[1]

Expansions for iPhone

EA seems to be following the same path they are with the computer series coming out with The Sims World Adventures and Ambitions (which means Late Night will be next if EA is doing it the same way they are doing it for the computer). Both of which in someway relate to the ones for the computer.
