New Expansion Pack "Late Night"

[TollingBells]

Thank goodness they didn't take a leaf from 'The Lost Boys' and made it so you'd have to kill the lead vampire...Still, how would one get this potion?

Still, how would one get this potion?

Maybe it is a new recipe learned - something like Ambrosia perhaps.

Why in the world would you want to reverse a vampire?  When I get the new EP the first thing I'm going to do is go hunt  one down.

[Asleep]

Consider yourself warned: There's no going back.

Doesn't this mean there's no reversing it?

[mtglady]

Doesnt' this mean there's no reversing it.

That is what I thought also unless EA figures that once you are a vampire you would not want to go back.   
That same article also said, and I quote: "To get into one of the most exclusive clubs in town, the Plasma 501--a vampire haunt--you must befriend a fellow vamp or you'll be left waiting outside".

Here is a couple of more links to some bits and pieces of Late Night.  If these have been duplicated, will apologize now.  I didn't see them anywhere else.

I was confused, too, but here's the full quote:

If you find yourself drawn to these creatures of the night, know that by befriending a vampire you can eventually ask him or her to turn you, or if you happen to mate, there's a chance that you may end up with a vampire baby. Consider yourself warned: There's no going back.

It seems (at least to me) that the "there's no going back" is in reference to vamp babies.  So perhaps if your Sim was born "human" and then was transformed into a vampire, he has the option to change back to human if he so wishes; but if he was born a vampire, he remains a vampire for life whether he wants to or not.  Sort of like ghosts; if you have a Sim that has died and become a ghost, if you feed them Ambrosia, they become a regular "human" Sim again, but (as far as I understand it, as I've never really played with ghosts before) if a Sim has a ghost baby, that baby will be a ghost throughout their entire lifespan.  Maybe?

I fed a ghost baby Ambrosia as soon as she turned to a child and she turned human again!

Here is another link, some old info, some new that goes into a little more detail.  Just thought I would post it, so if you have already read it, then I apologize for repeating it.

Nice, thanks Salty. 
Connecting lounges are back, yay. On a note about the butler, I got an EA announcement email today about Fast Lane and one of the screen shots had a butler in it. Actually another of the pics with a building in the background looked like they were not from the towns we know so maybe they are combining a bit of Late Night in the Fast Lane shots (if you want to check out the butler check these shots  http://au.thesims3.com/game/sp2/screenshots )

mmm, we can go skinny dipping??
So if your celebrity Sim is a bit of an adventurous dare devil and loves skinny dipping

interesting lol

I am sure they can at least woohoo in the hot tub.  Boy, all these games are going to keep us busy for a while, lol.

[mtglady]

Yahoo!  I received an email today that my Fast Lanes has shipped!      Now I will be on edge waiting patiently until it is delivered - probably Tuesday since Monday is a holiday for us here in the USA  .

[Seriphina]

And now we do the dance of joy!

There's no way around it here in the States. If you decided to download it or buy it in the store, it'd be Tuesday, too. Darn these holidays we set aside to honor people. Actually, I'm guessing the holiday is why they could go ahead and ship it. They knew it wouldn't get to where it's going before the release date. I hope you do get it on Tuesday! I'm torn between buying it right away or waiting to hear what people say they like or don't like about it. I'll probably have decided by the time it's officially out, though.

Weird! Spellcheck wanted to change 'Now' in your quote to 'NOW'. Does it want you to scream? Second choice was to change it to 'Now'. And what was wrong with your 'Now' anyway?

That cracked me up! Seriously, I think it's funny how the spell checker says somethings are wrong when we all know it's right!
