Uh, you know, guys, it could be...um. Both? Just a guess.

"So because Ambitions didn't come with a separate nighbourhood, Late Night won't? "

Didn't Ambitions come with Twinbrook?? Is that not a separate hood?

Ohhh.... The sims needs more violent vamps. Heres hoping they dont sparkle.

I didn't think people were still using the EA neighbourhoods since CAW was fixed... learn something new every day.

No, it did. And Twinbrook is. I am (and Drakron as well I assume) referring to add-on neighbourhoods like Downtown or the holiday sub-hoods.

More aimed at neighbourhoods there for a specific thing and not living

Still applicable. What if our custom made hoods are full? Besides, I like making a small town and having a sub-hood attached for sims to travel to. Adds a bit of realism.

I personally am hoping this new Downtown we're seeing in the promotional material is actually a sub-hood/add-on neighbourhood.

I just hope we get apartments (and not just penthouses).

this will be a perfect ep to react ghost buster in the city hunting down ghost.

Yes, I concur. This got me thinking, will the apartments we get only be in the partly rabbit hole skyscrapers? Which means we won't be able to modify the external parts and size all all.

Seeing as how EA didn't mention more on apartments, I'm thinking they'll be akin to the ones in The Sims: Urbz. Hopefully we'll get more than just penthouses though.

I know that I definitely don't. I can't figure out CAW to save the life of me. I've only ever seen one or two Neighborhoods that would be worth having, and I've only ever added one to my game. I mostly just use the EA ones, because they're perfectly acceptable in my opinion.

Knowing EA they will bring out this EP and it will break CAW again anyway.

This looked AWESOME!!! here is what I noticed that is in the expansion pack during the EA developer conference I watched.

1. Cities

2. More create a world / build tools.

3. High Rise lofts to live in.

4. Drums, Keyboards, and other musical instruments.

5. Hot tubs... did I forget to mention more hot tubs!

6. More sim actions / reactions.

7. Vampires.. and also various clans of vampires each with their own hangouts, abilities and powers.

8. A Karma system, you can spend karma to smite sims or even cause earthquakes on towns. Not sure how this will work yet (it was announced on the console version, but will also be in the new EP, I actually checked identifiers using twallans mod).

9. More control for players and probably modders. There are more animations. This seems to be more edgy than the other sims3 EP's.

10. Celebrities, rock stars, VIP treatment at select clubs. Looks like some sims get the red carpet treatment.

11. More CAS customization.

Personal thought.. Everything that they showed for console as far as features goes will be implemented in the PC versions. Some things will be exclusive to console simply due to restrictions of consoles, not to say consoles suck. Far from it.

OFF TOPIC:
1. A new Alice game by American McGee!!!! Hell yeah!

WOW i'm surprised another EP has been announced so quick after the release of Ambitions. I am definitely NOT complaining. This one looks awesome! Can't wait!! :D

See my post for all the current info I have on it, also here is the entire EA conference ( about an hour long) but worth it.

I really can't wait. I'm surprised another EP has been mentioned so quickly after Ambition's release. It seemed like forever for the second EP following World Adventures. I'm looking forward to the superstar aspects in the new EP!!

AGAIN, a Neighborhood is NOT a sub-hood, its a main neighborhood were your Sims live.

They added neighborhood to show new gameplay elements even in The Sims 2 with Seasons that added Riverblossom Hills, Freetime added Desiderata Valley and Apartment Life added Belladonna Cove.

Ambitions added a new Twinbrook, the argument about sub-hoods I am seeing now reminds me of arguments back when Ambitions was announced about the Firehouse and the Salon.

Worked just fine ... after all are you people so lazy that cannot even pop a pre-created lot in the game? I guess so since if the next EP is not a Vacation that will naturally require destination hoods we see it again.

And here is a idea ... if you want to see a Urban Themed Neighborhood why the hell dont play on the one that comes with the EP or, grasp, MODIFY YOUR EXISTING ONES!

Oh right ... because its "full" ... sure thing ...

Gotta admit, when I saw "Bloodlines' in the op, I was thinking along the lines of Vampire The Masquerade, with different types of vampires. But hey, this works too. Just by being able to drink from other sims, Sims 3 vampires have Sims 2 vampires beat, hands down.



I really hope the only sparkling vampires we see in this EP are lame-o wannabes wearing too much glitter that aren't let into any good clubs.

If the vamps sparkle, I'm not buying this.

They dont sparkle UNFORTUNATELY, Trailer shown a vampire.

Of course THEY WILL if they have the Eye Candy reward, hope they made all EA createdVampires having that reward to make you people insane ... its you own GOD DAMN FAULT that Twilight is that popular.

Would you mind explaining how it is my fault that teenage girls are, by and large, complete morons?

If that does happen I will create vamps and make BuffySim kill them all.

Please tell me your not one of those Twightards..

I think the person's being sarcastic and is not a fan.

..... being a teenage girl, I personally prefer truly sadistic vamps. And bloodlust.



That's quite convienient. I wonder if vamp-babies & children will be allowed to be in the sun. Otherwise, school might be a sticky affair.
