THE SIMS GET THE PARTY STARTED IN EA’S NEW EXPANSION PACK TO MASSIVELY POPULAR THE SIMS 3

The Sims 3 Late Night Expansion Pack Gives Players VIP Treatment In A Dynamic Urban Setting Filled with High Rise Homes, Parties, Celebrities, Bars…and Even Vampires!

GUILDFORD, UK., July 20, 2010 – The Sims players will soon have a reason to stay out late on the town! The EA Play Label of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced The SimsTM 3 Late Night Expansion pack* is in development and will hit store shelves worldwide this fall. The newest expansion to The Sims 3, the best-selling PC game of 2009**, The Sims 3 Late Night gives players all-access and lets them loose on a vibrant, active downtown scene where they’ll rub elbows with celebrities at the hottest parties, hit the local bar after work, tour the scene with their Sims’ band, kick back in a plush hot tub, and discover what’s lurking as the lights go out and adventure begins after dark.

“The community has been very vocal about unleashing their Sims in more interesting and unpredictable social situations,” said Scott Evans, General Manager of The Sims Studio at EA. “The Sims 3 Late Night is full of ways to approach a rich, new life beyond a Sims’ normal day, such as schmoozing with celebrities on the rooftop of a skyscraper, wooing the crowd with your Sim’s band, or being the best bartender in town at the hottest new lounge.”
Players will be able to take their Sims into the bustling urban setting where they’ll be able to become a local celebrity, member of a music band, mixologist, director, and more. To gain entrance into the most elite clubs in town, players need to keep their attitude in check otherwise they’ll be given the cold shoulder by tough bouncers or find another way onto the list. If chilling is the player’s forte, their Sims can lounge at a chic club or dive bar or if they like to live on the edge, they can discover the secret of becoming a vampire. Whether embarking on a new career, painting the town red, or throwing a party on the rooftop of a penthouse, it’s always up to the player to tell their unique stories with The Sims 3. What will happen when the lights go out and Sims get all access?

Just a list of some of the answers and questions if needed

Guitar/Drums/Bass/Piano all have skills, opportunities, wishes, you name it.

There are a lot of vehicles with fast lane. Maybe 12? I cannot remember the exact number.

Vampires can die by thirst!

Yes! You can woohoo in the hot tub and the elevator.

will there be paparazzi for rockstars?
Yes! They can be very annoying. But, the paparazzi are fun to deal with.

The new film Career shares some of the Ambitions features, much like the Doctor career.

Plasma Packs are a new snack to satisfy a vampires' thirst.

In the trailers there is a Bubble blower, are there any other cool effects such as foam & glitter?
Yes! The FX machine is AWESOME. It shoots snow, fire, glitter, bubbles...oh man it is so cool.

What will vampires do when feed from other sims(i.e. the animation for it)?
It depends on whether your Sim is romantically involved with them or not.

how would you describe the new world in the EP, city type?
It has a lovely skyline, tons of tall buildings, beautiful coastline.

I know there's a Shy trait, but what's this mystery 'Celebrity' one? Can you tell us or is it a surprise?
It's similar to Eccentric for Inventing. It gives you an edge in being and becoming a celebrity

What kind of furniture could we expect in The Sims 3 Late Night?
Really awesome furniture. our concept team went all out this time. You will love being a celebrity in our comfy new digs.

Give us a hint for what we can expect next.
It's going to be a game. I promise you that.

Will vampires have a new need?
Thirst replaces hunger. But, vampires play quite differently than other Sims.

what special powers do vampires have?
They can read minds, hunt others, and become super powerful very quickly.

We added several new recipes for bars and the new food truck. Hot Wings = Delicious.

This is the most simulation driven EP yet. Opportunities are scaled back.

What's the name of the new town?
We haven't settled on a name yet. Have a good suggestion?

What's new in build mode?
You can now build pools on any floor level, circular pools. We added a fountain tool, you can move paintings up and down on wall, Half walls, building inside shell buildings...there is a LOT of build/buy stuff.

you can build new stage platforms. There is also a dance floor.

Vampires have a special skin type of sorts (NOT GLITTER). But no, we don't have new "skin types."

does the vampires need to sleep?
Yes. We even added a new special bed for them that's quite haunting.

What about the driving system being improved in the future? I don't like it when Sims simply vanish in and out of vehicles...
Currently the system lets us create ANY car. Fire trucks, racing cars. We prefer this flexibility which we might no...
See more

Can other sims invite us to parties?
Yes! We're really excited to finally get NPC hosted parties. Have fun crashing them (which is possible!)

The Sims 3 Featured Members We haven't opened up existing rabbit holes.

are some VIPs from the real world in Late Night?
We think it's more fun to create our own personality and fiction. But, if you want, YOU can totally create them

Can we create our own buildings with the height we want?
No, but there is a huge variety of buildings to use.

If the club has a bouncer you can sneak in, bribe, hack your way in...or get in legitimately with your celeb status.

about how much do the penthouse cost
@lopezkid33 They will range in price like current homes. Some cheaper, some VERY expensive.

Any new facial hair?
Yes! This was actually a huge request from you guys and we really wanted new facial hair.

We have a vampire cure that is a potion.

Is the new EP basically gonna be a mix of The Sims: Hot Date, and The Sims: House Party?
No, it's not quite that simple. We took a lot of our favorite features and mixed them in a totally new way. (Plus new stuff!)

but you CAN hire a butler. I love asking him for advice

‎3 new hot tubs. They look fantastic.

The subway is free UNLESS you get mugged. But...that doesn't happen THAT often. It's faster than driving.

Vampires have a favorite food. O Positive and yes, new music too.

Can teenagers go out to the club?
Yes, they can (assuming it's not too late and curfew kicks in). The focus is definitely for adults, however.

May I build subway stations by my own, on any lot in any neighbourhood? Even the ones I create in CAW?
Yes, they are basically a big object. You can place them on any lot type, even your own. They will be in buydebug.

It's not a violent mugging. You can get "mauled by bears" technically in The Sims 3. We're silly, not violent!

Late Night is all about going out on the town and hanging with friends. Awesome late night experiences. No ocean swimming atm.

We have this wicked new goatee based on one of our engineers. You can see it on the bouncer in the trailer!

Paparazzi are in the game. They will sneak around to take photos of celebs.

Weather in the new neighborhood is sunny and bright for now. Advisory warning if you're a vampire.

We added a ton of new features for build mode but not spiral staircases (I listed it in a previous tweet).

This time we only added 2 more traits. But we love them too so don't worry. There's also another trait you'll be getting soon...

The Sims 3 Featured Members SIMS 3 SEASONS NEXT GRANT!!!!!!!!! SIMS 3 SEASONS
I DO love Seasons. It was the last EP I made before moving to Sims 3.
