I posted an official thread for updates and stuff: Click here
What is everyone's opinion about this EP? Is there something you're looking forward to? Something you can't believe EAxis have or haven't added? Share your thoughts here!~*~*~*~*~ Personally I'm really looking forward to it. It seems like Nightlife for TS3 with a bit of TS1 Superstar mixed in. Plus I bet there are loads of people rejoicing at the fact that TS3 is now introducing vampires...can I hear the Twilight fans 'whooping'?

wow.. i donno how you find this stuff. I was on the official site just yesterday looking if a new EP had been announced yet cause it seemed about time and there was nothing. This look like it should be fun. I am a little disappointed that there is no match maker like in Night Life to TS2, maybe there will be and it's just not been mentioned (crosses fingers). SOme times it can be so hard in this game to get people hooked up would be nice to have the option of a match maker to show you perfect matches. Love the idea they are bringing back apartments! I loved that for TS2, but it was like one of the last EPs and then this game came out and I stopped playing (I have no officially removed TS2 from my computer). Love that I'll be able to build my own clubs and that there are different ranges of clubs like seedy dives to posh lounges. I never played the vampire aspect of the game in TS2, but I think it's cause there didn't seem much to do... at least to me. But it kinda sounds like something I might try this time around with the dynamics of TS3 and the freedom of movement around the hood. lol... Yes Kate I for see a lot of Twilight characters showing up around the net when this EP comes out... more than there are now. And with the ability for vampires to have kids I see a lot of little baby Renesmes showing up. (Ugh! Did I just out geek myself in proving I have read the books with dropping the name that idiot Bella Swan named her half vampy child? ) Speaking of children in the new EP I also like that children of star can become stars just by being the child of a star... like RL celebutants. I never played TS1 so I donno how Super Star went, but i do like the idea of paparazzi and sims signing autographs. This EP so far is sounding pretty fun, and great thing is there is only 2 months to wait! |

Can't speak for Kate, but become a fan of Sims3 on facebook Diz. They announced it there not long ago. As for thoughts on EP...it looks good, but one can't help but thing...another Nightlife? Don't get me wrong I am glad they are bringing 'nightlife' out but what is wrong with been more 'creative' and bringing something entirely new out? |

Am looking forward to it!
I only just got the last EP and haven't installed it yet though! This could make a good Xmas present.. might have had time to play the first one by then!
Hopefully it'll be good, was in TS2. I never played Super Star in TS1 either so looking forward to seeing what that aspect is like.
Like Shell though, I am a teeny bit disappointed they didn't come up with something completely new.. it is a little bit of a recycled idea.

I was just getting annoyed with posts from things like that. And I can kinda understand recycling a few ideas. There were so many things people loved in the first games and they want back in newer versions, plus with the added aspects of how TS3 actually plays adds to recycled ideas. They are also adding in things that were multiple EPs for past games into one EP this time around. Like this new one has not only nightlife but also apartments and adds in the aspect of real stardom and status meters. I think it will really add to the game play for ambitions and for even the base game because careers like music and that can actually have fans and become actual celebrities. I can understand from a game makers point of view that they have made this really advanced game they want to see all their original ideas for the game realized in this new form and not just abandon those ideas but have them also grow with each game along with adding in the totally new ideas. |

I found out about Late Night only because Amazon UK sent me an e-mail trying to get me to preorder it...I'm either getting preorder about TS3 games or books lol. However I feel like less of a TS3 fan because I'm not a fan of the game, I better "like" that page when I'm next on FB. I do have to admit EAxis seem to be churning out EPs which are recycled versions of what has been done in the past...but they have added a little bit extra to the mix to make it a bit more exciting. I hope they do come up with some fresh, new ideas in the future, but for the time being I'm pretty happy with Late Night as I really liked Nightlife  I was just lurking on The Sims wiki and found out a few more facts about the EP...will post them in the official thread in a minute, just as a heads up  |

Just read the adding info and list of things in the new EP. I am glad to see half walls are coming back! I was so upset when they were not in the base game like in TS2.. well not like ohh boo hoo upset, but it really messed with some of my building ideas. Now we just need the indoor foundation/stage like tool back and I'd be a reall happy camper for building.

I'm quite desperate for the indoor foundation/stage tool. I've been playing a lot of TS3 these past few days, and have built quite a few new houses. However they have been quite small, and I've found myself wanting to split the staircases like you could in TS2. I'm hoping the "mini stage" will be able to fulfil my need here...?! I can't wait to build a penthouse loft...I'm looking forward to the views of the towns at night. Should make some lovely photos |

I have seen a bunch of houses for download made by other players that have the split stairs, but i can't figure out how the heck they did it and i am sure it took a lot of work for it to come out. I just want the easy route |

yeah I would have to wait, but my mom surprised me and sent me $50 in her Halloween card.. said to get some candy  There is NO way i could spend $50 only on candy so I am gonna use it to buy the game. I rather have that than the candy anyways. |

It's not out until Friday here...was thinking about preordering it, but have changed my mind as I have a serious lack of monies at the moment  Will try to hold out and ask for it for Christmas. It looks good though, so I'll probably end up crumbling after my next pay day hehe. I wish Halloween was bigger over here so I could receive £50 in a card, hehe |

Buttt it comes out just before I go back to work, boo  So I shall be trying to hold out... I wish Halloween was bigger over here so I could receive £50 in a card, hehe Ditto this!! |

Been reading over at *cough* another site about his update and found out that there are vampire gnomes in this EP. Not only that, but these vampire gnomes can "turn" stuffed animals into vampires and they become Dark Vampires.
I have already noticed that the game will automatically spawn vampires in other towns and not just the one for this EP. Also a little note for you all with out the game.... it REALLY likes vampires and spawns a ton! And because a it's a positive friendship interaction for a sim to ask to be turned vampirism spreads quickly. I mean I have only had the game since October 26th and there are already at least 10-15 vampires in my main town.. where there had been none before this EP.
I have not run into any vampire gnomes yet though, but I am thinking I will get rid of all stuffed animals now just in case :/

*waves* It's me again!
Right i have figured out about the giant thought bubbles and other troubles of things not showing up. Like when building that long stick cursor to show you where you were building a wall was not showing up, Flames from explosions and blow torches were not showing up either and when ever I was building the + signs of adding things or the stars of deleting then would stay until i went live again and then back to town mode to edit again.
The problem was the No Mosaic hack I had. Apparently EA changed some things of visual effects in this new EP and if you have an out dated No Mosaic hack it will make some things not show up, the chat bubble large and those pluses and things from building stick around. Thankfully the better No Mosaic hack has already been updated for the new Late Night EP (sorry no link). Anyways if you experience any of the things I describe, check and see if you have an out dated hack.

Oh how bloody painful. You mean those huge chat bubbles are because of a now 'old' hack ...BLAH!!! Thanks for the info Diz!! Will be checking out what is the problem for my game.

Post by Dizzy on Nov 8, 2010 19:57:40 GMT
yeah. The visual problems are caused by a non LN compatible no mosaic hack, but they (peoples from that other site) are saying that you should get rid of any hacks that are not LN compatible as with the latest EP some hings have been changed and any of them can cause troubles. From looking around though, most the better hacks from the more reliable people have already been updated.
