Friday 15th October 2010 | 4:38 pm UK time | Categories

Three vampires force a regular Sim into a cornerA new “Producer’s Blog” has been posted on TheSims3.com, focusing this time on vampire gameplay:

Vampires have several powers that set them apart from Sims. They are able to learn skills twice as quickly as normal Sims. They are stronger, smarter, and more creative—and it shows. Vampires also run incredibly quickly, so fast that it creates a blur effect. They can also read minds and force Sims to think of them which, when meeting new Sims,  helps them quickly build relationship levels.

Four new screenshots featuring vampires have also been released, and can be viewed on the Screenshots tab.

A new “Producer’s Blog” has been posted on TheSims3.com explaining band life in The Sims 3 Late Night:

The Band career is flexible and full of possibilities in The Sims 3 Late Night. Buy one of four new instruments and your Sims can play in anything from a jazz band to a rock band. There’s a double bass, keyboard or piano, and a drum kit. Your Sims must learn to play an instrument first because really, what kind of band leader doesn’t know basic scales.
