New Expansion Pack "Late Night"

[bshag]

If they have improved the vampires (and possible werewolves), perhaps those sims would be eager to make friends, then drag you back to their pad for a little snack. Werewolves too, unless they're 'good' wolves, in which they may avoid people. There probably wouldn't be a nice vampire if they did this, because, let's face it, the nice ones killed themselves after reading Twilight.

That made me lol.

And what is soooo bad about sparkles?  (j/k)  Stephanie Meyers' story is a good read and the movies are entertaining but ain't gonna win any academy awards.

I had a vampire in sims 2 also but really hated how it changed my cute male sim into an anemic looking sim that said "Bleh" every 2 minutes.   Never got into any werewolves.

But from the video, Late Night vamps look pretty cool and they have to eat what vampires eat...plasma.  I just may have to try one.

Oooh Vampire Traits... I wonder if we can make them in CAS?

My suggestions:
Heliophobic- Sims with this trait will have a horrible aversion to sunlight. Poor sims can barely stand in the sun without being burned alive! - Well, figuratively, of course. A little sun has never killed anyone;... or has it? 
- Your sim will not want to spend time outside during the day, and instead prefers the dark protection of a deep cave or just four plain walls.
- Your sim will get mood boosts from spending time in the dark and away from the sun.
- Your sim will enjoy the company of a certain type of night creature.
Hemotarian- Sims with this trait will only be able to eat meals containing blood; and preferably a lot of it! Blood pudding, bloody chicken salad or just a bloody beef will be enough to sate hemotarian sims. But most hemotarians prefer some other alternatives to blood, involving fangs, necks and an evil gnome.
- When drinking blood from another sim, your sim will get the "Had a Nice Bloody Meal" moodlet, and your sim will have a relationship boost to the person they drank from.
- Your sim will be able to learn the teachings of the Holy Gnome of Evil, and have sacrificial rituals for It, which may grant you great fortune - if the sacrifice is good enough.
- Your sim will get nauseous when eating food without blood.
- Your sim can make blood pacts with other sims, making them your ally, brother/sister and/or spouse in blood.
Ghastly- Ghastly sims are the figures of myths of horror and dark magic in the Simstorian times. They have a tendency to scare people, and they typically enjoy doing it. Ghastly sims are said to have practiced black magic, witchcraft and sacrificial rituals for their Holy Gnome of Evil. Many sims argue whether these sims actually existed or exist, but some say that ghastly sims are cruising the town looking like normal people on the surface, but with evil eyes, pale skin, and fangs.
- Ghastly sims scare the less brave sims, but sims with some bolder and darker traits will instead enjoy the company of a ghastly sim.
- Ghastly sims get great moodlets from scaring sims; the more scared they make a sim, the better the moodlets.
- Ghastly sims can, like hemotarian sims, learn the teachings of the Holy Gnome of Evil.
- Ghastly sims are typically very nasty and rude in their behavior, but they'll enjoy their vast amount of enemies.

LOL My attempt at humor. I know a couple are rather similar to already existing traits but I just liked the ideas.

Think I will get nightmares from just reading that post.LOL.  Of course, once again, EA has managed to spark imaginations across the country far in advance to an upcoming EP and they are so good at it.  It sure brings it out in people though, which is a good thing.  I really don't want to see werewolves though.  I just don't think it makes for a good story line and you have to have animals, so maybe somewhere down the line they might throw that in, but I hope it is much later.  This new EP, sounds good enough for me right now.

Werewolves were hard to get in sims 2 I though so rumours of them in this EP will not be putting much hope for them, were are you going to get turned into a werewolf without others?

A little howl at the moon never hurt anyone.    I figure if the game creators can twirl a tiny Sim around,add a little computer magic and they end up an adult they could probably twirl one around and make it end up especially hairy under the full moon.

Oooh Vampire Traits... I wonder if we can make them in CAS?

If we can...(Cackles madly and plans the 'Eye Candy' project)

I haaaaate the Twilight style vampires, but I love the werewolves, despite the fact that (SPOILER for anyone who cares)

...They're actually shape shifters, according to a main vampire baddie.

Bella is a horrible character in general, but the universe of Twilight has so much potential...Without her...Gawd...It would be cool if they had ancient and mainstream vampires clashing in the next expansion, and if you become (or are) a vampire, there's special missions you do as a vampire, like WA locations.

[samoht04]

'Destroy the French Garlic gardens!' 

[RunAmokSims]

If we can...(Cackles madly and plans the 'Eye Candy' project)

Won't that just give you the sparkly vamps?  

[samoht04]

I think she has also planned the name and the house,

Name: Edward Cullen
House: Fence with no Gate or Roof...  

EDIT:

This is where I will be getting my copy! - http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/15917683/The-Sims-3-Late-Night/Product.html
Hmm End of October release in UK, that would be a late Birthday Present!  

[TollingBells]

Yeah, Amok, I know.  It's the joke. I'll also make him over emotional, Neurotic...(Cackles)

Samoht, I have not quite planned the house yet, but I'd like to point out that I'm a she.  Actually, I loved the house they use in the movie...It's very modern looking, but also blends into the woods they set it in. I'll probably be able to find a few dozen makes of it on the exchange, but finding one without CC will be nearly impossible.

[samoht04]

Oops Sorry about that (Changed)     I meant you watching the sparkly vampires smoke, but in a physical way...  

[TollingBells]

I'm still a little confused, but lookie what I found! More info on the Sim Wiki!

http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire

Scroll to the bottom and check out the quote. NO HALF VAMPIRES OH MY GAWD YAY!

Edit: There's more cited info on the official page for all aspects of the new expansion. Looks like we're getting not only more instruments, but portable keyboards, thanks to the screen shot below. It also looks like we'll get art snobs, oh joy.

So it sounds like the way to become a vampire is basically the same as in the Sims 2 - find a vampire and befriend it, and then presumably ask it to bite you.

[TollingBells]

Looks like, but I'm a little confused...'Plasma' instead of blood? Wonder why EA decided to do that.

[MomOfMany]

I am excited about the new downtown they are talking about. This whole expansion is going to be great now I can't wait for it to come out.
