Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Let your sims enjoy the hottest night life imaginable, with a whole new set of late night experiences, from dance clubs and bars to rooftop Jacuzzis and hot new music venues. This fun new add-on expands not just the game but your sims' whole social life.
It's more than 20 years since Will Wright created SimCity and his development company Maxis. A lot has changed in that time, including the rise of The Sims as the studio's biggest game, but after being bought by EA elements of the team still work on the series and new titles such as Spore.
 Your sims can not only meet celebs they become one too |
 Hit the hottest night clubs and soak in the atmosphere |
 Learn new skills or even start a new career as a bartender |
 The city of Bridgeport is a lot bigger than usual |
It's not just where sims can go now it's who they can meet, as they mingle with celebrities and get their names noticed. They won't have instant access to all the venues though, but must work their way up the social scale until they're the talk of the brand new town of Bridgeport.
If your sims want to learn a new skill or trade they can become anything from a band member to a bartender, or even a vampire if they manage to mix with the right/wrong sims. Whether you want to go on a quiet date or a raucous rave this offers the best night out your sims have ever had.
Key Features- Hot Date: Take your sims out on the town with this massive new expansion filled with clubs, bars, music venues, celebrities and even vampires.
- Night-Time Visit: Visit brand new locations including night clubs, bars and strip clubs - as well as apartments and elevators. Plus learn new skills and even start a new career.
- Rock Band: Kit out your sims' home with all-new items including exclusive night-time clothing and enough musical instruments to form your own band.
- Big City: Visit the brand new downtown and urban area known as Bridgeport - an exclusive nightspot based on San Francisco and Los Angeles.
- Exclusive Recordings: Enjoy brand 'simlish' versions of top music tracks from the likes of Dr Dre, My Chemical Romance and Soulja Boy.

Fun:
This is a great new expansion pack that brings Sims to the seductive life of late night. In a way this is the The Sims 3 (PC/Mac DVD) version of Sims 2 nightlife expansion pack, only improved.
The game introduces a new neighbourhood, a big city, with apartments and clubs which is a big change for our Sims, from their previous carefree life with its lovely cottages, Victorian homes, gardens and parks. Sadly in order to play the game, the Sims have to move to this city and cannot just visit and then go on with their small town lives. The apartment buildings reminiscent of the Sims 2 apartment life (which I never got, so I can't compare), include elevators, penthouses, and hot tubs. Of course, all these are nice if you like downtown skyscrapers.
Also it includes some amazing new clothes and hairstyles, and a new advanced body sculpting tool. The new objects are all interesting, but personally I loved the new instruments like the drums and the much missed piano from the Sims 2, which is a good addition as the option of one electric guitar for the artistic Sims was sad. Also there are some new building tools like the option to build pools on the roof, circular pools, and the again much missed half walls tool from the Sims 2.
There are also new trait options for Sims and new skills to learn like mixing drinks at the bars. Also there are new careers in the film industry like actor and director, which can make Sims celebrities and have paparazzi stalking them, this seems vary annoying though, but it does grant access to the new hot bars in town. Sims can also join music bands.
The main addition however are the fantastic vampires, they are the Sim version of something between Anne Rice and True Blood. Sadly they are not immortal (I think they actually live longer then normal Sims though!), garlic does not kill them and they don't get burned by the sun. Like most vampires, they can read and manipulate minds, move faster then normal Sims, learn faster during the night and are paler with fangs, tattoo marks and haunting eyes. Ordinary 'mortal' Sims can ask a vampire friend to turn them, which is quite easy to do. They can also have vampire children and live relatively 'normal' Sim lives.
The game was easy to install to my pc, and I haven't noticed any problems to my gameplay so far, but as I have only played for a few hours, time will tell. Obviously I am expecting problems as with all new expansions but I am confident that they will be corrected through patches as they always are.
In total, a highly anticipated expansion pack which didn't disappoint me at all. Also, as the Sims take a darker turn, with ghosts and vampires walking around the neighbourhood, the release date for this expansion was excellently planed; just in time for Halloween. Spooky!!!

Fun:
Finally, an extension pack has come out for The Sims 3 franchise that is top notch. The pack combines ideas from four previous Sims EPs, which are University, Superstar, Apartment Life and Nightlife. It throws in plenty of new features and angles too.
The first addition is that of celebrities, where you can live the charmed life and all of its perks. The next is vampires, just like in The Sims 2 Nightlife. The difference this time is they don't die so quickly whilst in the sunlight, which makes them more playable. The next is more musical instruments such as the piano and keyboards, allowing your Sims to form bands. There are plenty of nightclubs to visit, and some new skills to learn such as mixology.
The most striking thing is that there is the addition of lots of new items in buy mode. In fact, I am surprised by just how much there is. World Adventures and Ambitions lacked such items, and for me, that weakened them. There are lots of new additions to build mode too, with some new tools such as rounded pools, fountains, half walls and elevators.
The only annoying thing is that of the nightclubs which close in the mid morning. So you send your sim to the club, and by the time they get up in the elevators and get admitted the time has ticked away so much they're getting booted out at closing time. In the Sims 2 Nightlife, downtown locations pretty much stayed open 24/7. I am sure a mod will be available to fix this, and I will be checking Mod the Sims in the near future to see if there is one.
The game is very stable. This makes a change for Sims games which are notorious for bugs and crashes.
Finally, The Sims 3 is starting to feel like a real Sims game. If you have the base game and are looking for just one EP, this is definitely the one I would recommend. Well done EA, this time you really have cracked it!

Hi All,
I absolutely love this game but there are one or two bugs with the home help (butlers and maids.)My butler just keeps going up to the nearby beauty spot and just sits there and reads a book. What is most annoying is that I still get charged $1200 a week for his services which is a pain. The maid service is also flawed as sometimes I cannot see them on my screen but their car is outside. Nothing seems to get done in the house but again I still get charged for their services! So as a result I get my Sims to do all the housework and leave out the bugged hired help!
There is one point I have to make. One reviewer stated that vampires are not affected by the sun! Well I can assure you that they are. After prolonged sun exposure the vampire starts to burn. You can see smoke coming from them! I was busy doing something else in another part of town and one of my Sim vampires was spending too long in the hot tub which was outside the house. Later that night the grim reaper showed up and that vampire died. It would appear that it was from too much sun exposure, so all beware!
Apart from one of two bugs the game is fascinating. Hopefully these problems will be addressed when new patches come out.
