New Expansion Pack "Late Night"

[Castastic]

  Ha-ha, I just found out the Swedish title for Late Night and I don't know if it's official but it makes me laugh. "Kvällsnöjen", it would translate to "Evening/night Pleasures" or "Evening/Night Entertainment". Sounds like the name of some entertainment magazine!
Oh, and the article said something about going to parties, concerts and night clubs.   That confused me a bit; we can already go to concerts (well, kind of) in Sims 3 but will there some new kind of concerts in Late Nights? Hmm, they seem to be developing more on the theme of music in Sims 3 so I hope we get something like watching your sim's favorite band or singer in concert. And night clubs sound incredibly interesting, hopefully you'll be able to have night clubs on community lots and such, and actually being night clubs and not just buildings on community lots.   But then again, the article may be misleading on that.
Another note; in the tiny interview with Grant Rodiek they had, he said (I quote, translated to English from Swedish): "[...] But instead of just giving the players downtown hang-outs and things they've seen before, we give them a possibility to go out into the night with their band, become a cool bartender, a supernatural creature or a real casanova". Source of article is the Swedish gaming website FZ.

Even though I got Nightlife quite late on it was still cool, I liked all the club deco and furniture like the lights and the modern styles so I hope they include them in Late Night, the Vampires I thought were a bit pathetic as mine never died in sun light! 

I did think that it was pretty funny that as the sun came up they ran out of the building they were in and they were leaving a smoke trail, as if they were smoldering.  That cracked me up when I saw that.  Who knows what is going in this EP.  I am not going to get overly excited until more screenshots come out and more trailers, but I am really looking forward to this one.  I already know it is going to be my favorite, lol.

I wonder if that will be a new town that you see it the background when they are in the hot tub. That looks like a city more or less which would be great.

All the news releases I've read say urban setting. I'm looking forward to that.

Maybe it could be a downtown place that you attach to your neighbourhood just as in Sims 2 and in WA. Otherwise it would be a little weird with playing Sims in a complete city, they've always had suburbs before (except in Sims 2, but that was not so much of a city you could move to). Or maybe, you can buy a penthouse in the city and move there. That'd be cool.

I wonder if the city is basically another travel destination like all the places in WA. Also, at 10 seconds into the trailer, it looks like a sim is playing piano in the middle of the street, so I'm guessing pianos will work like guitars and you can "Play for Tips." I don't know, it's all speculation

EA just announced the new EP is "Late Night".     Which can be found here:

It sound like it's going to be a lot of fun!  Oh Yeah Vampires, Hot Tubs, etc!

Rita: Finally after 10,000 years it's here! Now we have real vampires; not like that Edward!

[Slingsby]

More musical instruments would be great.  Now, if only they'd give us bagpipes ...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo 

[samoht04]

Do you think the people who play bagpipes even like the sound? Or do they wear ear plugs, always makes me laugh when they play for tips, watching people walking past quickly! 

[jestina]

Well that would be silly if a sim could carry a piano around to play for tips.

Hey! If they can carry around their 20 tonnes of mega-cars and drive them, why would a tiny piano be a problem? 

[jestina]

That's actually one of those electronic keyboards in the video, so it's probably portable.

[The Illuminator]

I'd rather have a grand piano...

[Mikeyspoons]

One of thethings I've noticed that hasn't been mentioned is that in one of the scenes in a club a man and a women were dancing and the man had muscle tone (unlike the muscles now that don't look that different to the none muscle bound). Also the woman's chest was bigger. So more, subtler features that people have asked for =)
Also looking forward to the hottubs

I followed a Gamesradar link from SimsWikia to this interview. Seems as if your vampires can finally leech of living sims! (they couldn't in Sims 2, only infect others with vampirism).
