Angie Newman, an EA representative for The Sims games, has given GamesRadar some further details about the vampires in The Sims 3 Late Night:

“You have to find a vampire in the world, befriend it, and then ask it to turn you into a vampire. You can then turn other Sims into vampires,” explains Newman. Late Night also includes a new Blood Line system, which will let you pass your vampirism onto your offspring. “So if a vampire and a vampire mate, it will for sure be a vampire baby. But if a vampire and a non-vampire mate, it might be a vampire or it might be a Sim. There’s no half-vampire, half-Sim babies.”

And what will you feed on once you’ve become a creature of the night? “They quench their thirst by eating plasma packs, drinking plasma from other Sims, or growing rare and awesome plasma fruits.”

Sounds like there’s a fair bit more to it than in The Sims 2 Nightlife.

Rod Humble confirmed some extra details about the newly revealed The Sims 3 expansion pack Late Night at the EA Studio Showcase yesterday. He mentioned that Sims will be able to have some sort of “late night jobs” and go to night clubs. He said that there will be “new ways to woo-hoo all around town”, which are bound to include the multiple hot tubs included. Players will be able to build penthouse lofts, and vampires will make a return in a “full vampire simulator”. You can watch his short talk about Late Night for your self in the video below, starting about three minutes in:

EA has revealed the third expansion pack for The Sims 3, “Late Night” with a short trailer (below). Suggesting this has been rushed out following the leak last week or to coincide with their Studio Showcase today, there are no screenshots or even a final logo, and the only information is this from the video’s description:  ”Get your Sims an all access pass to the hottest spots in town. What will your Sims get up to after dark?” …and this from a tweet about the video’s release: “For the first time ever, your Sims can experience late night fun as a VIP!”

If you watched the trailer, and paid attention, you’ll know it’ll be released in the Fall, or Autumn to give the season its proper name.

What could be the third expansion pack for The Sims 3 has been spotted on shopping website Play.com: “The Sims 3 After Dark”. No information, screenshots or release date are given, but the name suggests possibly a remake of The Sims 2 Nightlife – does this interest you? Tell everyone your thoughts in the comments.
