New Expansion Pack "Late Night"

How would a Vampire Snob check out their appearance and gussy up? 

I don't know, but in Sims 2 they didn't have a reflection.

My point exactly!

Have you heard the old Pokemon slogan? "Gotta catch 'em all!". (shudders)

I don't get how Leto using the Pokémon slogan was going to make you "Never be able to watch Pokémon again".

I wonder if their will be any new collectables and any new inventions that require collectables. It would give the Collectors at the Wowza Collection Agency (WCA) something to do for once (Just kidding).

Ah good, I'll have to put that in the records.

There all done. Thanks for letting WCA know!

There will be different levels of penthouses, just like we have different levels of houses now.  I think by "penthouse" they just mean it will be at the top of a tall building.

Wow, that way we can now put hundreds of families in one city!
...
Ahem, of course. Therefore it is called a City... :O

There will be different levels of penthouses, just like we have different levels of houses now.  I think by "penthouse" they just mean it will be at the top of a tall building.

That was my point, though.  There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from making a tall building (either using the in-game restriction of five stories, or making it higher using one of a dozen methods), leaving the bottom stories completely empty, and just furnishing the top story.  Voilà!  Penthouse "apartment".  You could literally do this with the base game, no EP's, no SP's, no CC.  The only thing that comes with Late Night that could possibly make that scenario better is an elevator.

So I'm just wondering if that's what EA has done, or if there's more to this "apartment" thing, something closer to the Apartment Life EP from Sims 2.  Of course, no one can answer that question until they release more info.  I'm not expecting anyone to, or even complaining.  I was just pointing that out.

@Caitie: I hope (and think to) they will make more levels in the buildings. That way it will cost a lot of memory space for computers older than 2 years I'm afraid, but I think that is what EA is doing right now.

P.s. Welcome to the forum, if I haven't said that already.

That's what I'm hoping, too.  Guess we'll have to wait and see.  And thanks for the welcome!  I'm really enjoying it here.  It seems like a relatively drama-less environment that's deliciously troll- and spambot-free, and all of the members I've "seen" so far seem to be at least mature enough to carry on a serious conversation.

Might not have met everyone yet,  "looking over shoulder to see if a moderator heard that" oh, I am a moderator.  Who said that then.  Just kidding around. This is a great forum to be on.

Now that being said, I guess this is just another case of wait and see what comes out with this EP.  I am loving it so far, but have learned not to get to excited until you read more about it.

Amen to that.  How many times have we all gotten really excited about a feature in an upcoming EP, only to find out that it doesn't work quite the way we believe or want it to.  Or, even more often, see something in a preview screenshot that "proves" that a certain feature will be in an upcoming EP, only to find out it was a trick of the angle the screenshot was taken at, or something along those lines.  Besides, they could change and change again literally anything before releasing this EP.  Just because they've decided to include something in a certain way today, doesn't mean they won't completely rework it tomorrow.

Don't forget type O, and my personal favorite (since it runs through my veins  ) A negative (A-).

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to penthouse apartments, too.  And "high-end" is sort of the the preferred goal in The Sims, right?  As your Sims make more and more money, they trade in their cheap crap for nicer things, to get rid of negative moodlets and get positive ones.  However, you do need to start somewhere, especially as I don't use money cheats.  So I would also like the option of smaller, less expensive apartments.  After all, how special is having a nice penthouse suite if it's the only suite in the building?  That's not a penthouse suite; that's a really high house.  How is that any different from what we have now?

I'm sure there will be plenty of different penthouses and just regular apartments as well. Not all of them will be high end or expensive at all. That wouldn't make much sense. The Sims has never been like that. They always give us plenty of variety. But they also confirmed that you can buy just regular apartments so you shouldn't worry about it. They have an entirely new town dedicated to this new style of living after all.

Oh, good!    And even if there is nothing but high-end penthouse suites, I'm still really looking forward to this EP.  Seriously, it really seems like EA is going all-out for this, making it so much more than just a NightLife do-over.
