The Sims 3 Late Night Review

The Sims 3 Late Night is the expansion pack that many have been waiting for. People that play The Sims series love the Night Life additions to the games, and all of the naughty and mischievous fun their Sims can get into in a big downtown area.   Some of the great additions with this expansion pack include: vampires, musicians, new instruments, bouncers, celebrities, butlers, penthouses and apartments, and new skills for the piano, bass, drums, and mixology. Read on to find out much more with this expansion pack review.

Bridgeport, High-rises and Penthouses

The Sims 3 Penthouse Hot Tub

Bridgeport is the new neighborhood (or town) that is included in The Sims 3 Late Night review. It is a very large town, and includes high-rises and penthouses for your Sims to live in, party in, and work at. The new building tools offered allow you to create and adjust these lots too. This really allows you to have your Sims live in fabulous apartments and live in the very busy and popular downtown area.

New Clubs, Bars, and Lounges

The Sims 3 The Grind club

Late Night also gave players the ability to go have fun at night at clubs, bars, and lounges. There are three types of clubs available including: dance club, poolside club, and disco club. The town of Bridgeport has: The Grind, Aquarius, and The Brightmore. There are three types of bars available including: dive bar, local watering hole, and sports bar. The town of Bridgeport has: Waylon’s Haunt, Eugi’s, and Bridgeport Sports Zone.

The Sims 3 Plasma 501 Lounge

There are three types of lounges available including: fusion lounge, vampire lounge, and exclusive lounge. The town of Bridgeport has: Bonzai Lounge, Plasma 501, and The Prosper Room. The Sims 3 celebrity status also revolves around these Late Night hot spots. If your Sim doesn’t have the required stars, they won’t be allowed past the bouncers without paying them off first (or sneaking in). This whole system is fun and the celebrity status allure makes it that much better.

Vampires

The Sims 3 Vamprie Bites

The Sims 3 Vampire is a returning life state that was returned with this expansion pack. No The Sims 3 Late Night review could go without discussing this further. Vampires are popular across all age groups, and getting to play as one or perhaps fall in love with one as a Sim is a fun thing to do in The Sims 3. Vampires can easily be found around town at night, especially at The Plasma 501 lounge and at The Brightmore club (in Bridgeport). Come close enough to a vampire, and you’ll notice their slightly glowing skin, glowing eyes, and fangs. Befriend one and you can even ask them to turn you into a vampire too. Vampire Sims are not hungry, instead they are thirsty, and they must drink blood in the form of “plasma.” This could be drunk off of a willing Sim participant, from plasma fruit, and from plasma packs (which resemble juice boxes).

The Sims 3 Vampire Metamorphosis Complete

The whole vampire system in The Sims 3 is fun, and if at anytime you no longer want to be a vampire, you can always change back by visiting the Science Lab.

The Sims 3 Celebrity and Paparazzi in China

Graphics in The Sims 3: Late Night expansion pack are highly detailed and the new town that was added shows this even more that in the previous expansions. The Sims 3 Late Night is an expansion pack that should not be skipped, especially if you like vampires and night life activities when playing The Sims!

The user interface didn’t change with this expansion pack, so it makes it extremely easy for the user to navigate. The overall ease and navigation of the interface is excellent.

Sound (5 out of 5)

 

The Sims 3 Piano

The Sims 3: Late Night added the hip-hop radio station, and new custom music.

The customization capabilities and quality of the sound is great!
