*Update – please accept my deepest apologies. I accidently put SimTimes when it should have been SimFans. I must of been in la-la land or something, don’t even know why I made that mistake!
SimFans tweeted a number of Late Night tidbits on their Twitter Page when they were able to check out the game for themselves from the Munich Event. Here’s a compilation of what they had to share. If you have Twitter, be sure to follow them!
- You will get 4 exclusive objects if you register Late Night on thesims3.com
- New Metals: carbon steel, smithsonite, tungsten carbine, vampires eye
- New Bugs: Spider, Termite / New Fish: Kissing Gourami, Sea Sludge, Sewer Trilobite
- new community lot types: dive bar, fusion lounge, vampire lounge, exclusive lounge, dance club, poolside club, disco club, sports bar, hangout, local watering hole
- sims 3 late night screen options: enable reflections (yes/no) turned into a slider named: mirrors & water – you can set “reflection quality”
- fountain: like pools, many “rounded” options – 12 different fountain-types to place, available on rooftops, in gardens, in closed rooms
- marketing manager (late night) said “the producers would add weather/seasons, but than they tought it would be better if they add it with a expansion pack, that makes more sense to weather than this “late night” theme
- the new water reflections are just amazing! first, the producers just added the whirlpools, and than they expand water effects of whirlpools and add it to pools and normal lakes and the sea (> karen tong, ea marketing manager, the sims 3 late night
- why the wall fish tank is digital? celebrities have no time to care about real fishes. you can add all sorts of real fishes digitally
- your sims can rent location (costs simoleons) for their private party. you can choose “exclusive access” if just friends should get in.
- cas: you can choose now every lifetime wish (added feature “customize lifetime wish”), not depends on choosen traits
- new lifetime wishes: Master Mixologist, One Sim Band, Super Popular
- The new gnome is called “Blingaboo” – Its a Hip Hop Gnome!
- Levels of the FIlm-Career: Background Extra, Best Boy, Key Grip, Personal Assistant, Production Manager, Commercial Actor, TV Actor, Teen Star – There is also a part time working possibility for the Film Career
- numbers of new buildmode objects: 12 x Fountains, 6 x Half Walls, 7 x Windows, 4 x Doors, 1 x column, 1 x chimney, 3 x Trees, 1 x Gate
- example of a new lifetime reward: Always on the List-17,500 Points Sims will never be refused entry into bars, clubs, and lounges.
- buy/build mode: you can expand the window, so you see more than two rows of objects thumbs at one time
- the dancing floor object in available in 3 sizes: 3×3, 5×5 and 7×7 quares
Thanx for sharing this I am really loving all the updats
YAY DISCO CLUBs! Can’t wait to make a Saturday Night Fever themed club. CC makers… let’s get some bellbottoms and platform shoes!
I really like this info. Spiders, about time we got them. =]
Wow! I love the community lot types…Um…gay bars? Holla!
You can expand windows?! I wonder how that works…:D
Wow! Great update. I love the teaser about weather.
Ooh, being able to choose your lifetime wish regardless of what traits you have sounds awesome! A lot of the time I never get the LW I want unless I change my traits…
oh wow lots of good info… i wonder what kind of objects we get for registering.
i always thought it would be cool if a clumsy sim could drop an insect container and the house gets infested with whatever insect was in it.
like in the sims 2. probably be an arrow button you click to expand the items from two rows to four.
see i knew it! Watch the next EP is gonna be all about Weather… be cool if they included pets too. but if they did then they’d have one less EP to make… and less money.
You already can. Use Gender Biased doors at a Club.
Loved that they mentioned Season’s again. I think that will defiently be in the next expansion since they’ve been mentioning weather a bunch of times now. 🙂 I cant wait to see the new reflections in the water and the clubs seem fun especially the poolside club 😉 ooh lala
Spiders have taken over peoples lives and NOW
they are going to eat sims ALIVEE!
*cries* Mooommmyyyyy *more cries*
🙁
I wouldn’t be sold on the next EP being all about weather. It was said by the marketing manager, she doesn’t create the games, but rather advertises them. Not someone I would call to get facts.
This EP sounds so much better now! Thanks! I love that they basically confirmed that the next EP is going to be Seasons!! I! Can’t! Waaaaaiiiittt! But it’d be better if it was a nature EP that included both weather and pets! Wildlife animals too! 😀
I am so in love with this EP…
“the producers would add weather/seasons, but than they tought it would be better if they add it with a expansion pack, that makes more sense to weather than this “late night” theme”
Yes.. They tought it would be better: +$$$
she could still know something. she’s one of the ones who do advert and maybe involved with trailers. and see how enthusiastic she is about The Sims games? i’ve seen her in one of the early videos about The Sims 3. she was standing near some of the team when they was showing them talking about developing the game and about silly things and movements and such. if you look on youtube on thesims channel you’ll see this clip in one of the vids. they are all in a stair way.

at 1:47 you’ll see her.
Thank you for the information. Very enlightening.
