iSims & InfiniteSims spotted a new preview that surfaced earlier today regarding The Sims 3 Late Night that includes 3 brand new screenshots from the game.  Not only that but the preview again confirms our darkest fears: Vampires have to farking ask before they bite.  Now whose idea was that!  Well, at least the preview is packed – too bad they also had to tell us the bad news

As mentioned, Late Night will also let you play as a vampire, and as Rodiek explains, “they won’t get all sparkly, like in Twilight–they’ll have more of a soft glow.” The producer described vampire sims as being “badass” and “powerful”–primarily because although they can’t survive during the day, they thrive at night with enhanced motives (The Sims’ version of personal needs) that require very little maintenance.

Here’s a bit more:

In addition to all the clubbin’ and vampirin’, Late Night will add more customization and building options to play with, including expensive new penthouse apartments that have limited size, but can be tricked out with the absolute latest in high-end swank, such as a gigantic digital fishtank that hangs on the wall, and a returning Sims favorite, the hot tub, which can seat up to four characters. In addition, you can expect to see plenty of new clothing sets and character customization that befit the social elite (and all those poseur wannabes), like draw-on muscle T-shirts, and new, more-muscular body types for those who prefer to play as a spray-tanned muscle man. When we asked the producer whether the new body types had anything to do with the popularity of MTV’s Jersey Shore, Rodiek replied, “we here [on the Sims development team] are all about The Situation.” And oh yes, Late Night will add a much-requested breast adjustment tool for those who absolutely must increase their bust. So, yes…there’s that.

Late Night appears to be a return to the classic open-ended Sims gameplay of schmoozing, building, and designing. The expansion will ship next month.

Lucky user tessiegril from the Sims3Nieuws Forums picked up The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff a tad early (as you know, it’s only a few days till the release so the game itself has already gone gold) from retail store Bart Smit.  She was kind enough to release over 44! new screenshot’s of the game! (thanks Tessie!)

Here are a few screens below, check out the link for the rest!

SimCity Societies left a big scar on the SimCity franchise and it’s players, so any unsure players will be happy to know that EA has released a free version of SimCity Deluxe (iPhone) available at the iTunes store. To contrast, the US page is unavailable as of this moment, so if your interested, more info is available at the AU iTunes Store here.  Thanks to SVtimes for the find.

SimCookie found 4 Screenshot’s of MySims SkyHeroes then BricaSims found another 4 screens all from EA UK on Facebook.

They also have a new mini-game:  Bomber Run

Little late, through a backlog of preview’s have come to surface the net on The Sims 3 Late Night.  Here’s Sims3Nieuws‘ preview (IN ENGLISH!)

Kyta1702 conclusion:
The game is really nice and every aspect of it is well thought, everything is so much better and so much more than The Sims 2: Nightlife. The island where you can find the city is small but still big and a real city. I am looking forward to the release of this expansion pack.

Xelles conclusion:
The new neighborhood of The Sims 3: Late Night looks just amazing. It almost looks like a real city, with its high buildings where you can buy a penthouse or where you can find a club. The clubs and pubs have their own opening hours and the fun an realistic thing about this is that your Sim may be kicked out when the pub or club closes. I think The Sims 3: Late Night could do without the vampires, but I think it will be a nice new element. Late Night is in my opinion the best expansion pack of The Sims 3, well up until now anyway.

Hiki’s conclusion:
Most of the time I play with one family, generation after generation. I am sure a lot of members of the family Kwana would love it to be a party animal and go to one of the many clubs. Fortunately for the elderly generation, they won’t be bothered by the noises of the city and stay at their beloved small and quiet town, but the younger generation can rent a penthouse so they are close to all the parties and they can go to them whenever they want. Maybe I will turn the Kwana’s into vampires for a couple of generations? My Sims will become really happy ones I’ve bought this expansion pack.

Here we go… box art rush (I’m looking at the commenter’s now ^^).  Anyways, SimCookie spotted the Hungarian version of The Sims 3 Late Night box art from The Sims HU on Facebook

SimWay uncovered the German cover of The Sims 3 Late Night, which shares the same “Late Night” text with English users.

Thanks to InfiniteSims for the tip.

Pretty useless considering they’re just from the trailer.  Anyways, EA posted 3 new screens of The Sims Medieval.  Thanks to SimCookie for the source.

So far, SimCookie (or should I say SimCrazy)  put together 120+ screencaps taken from The Sims 3 for Console and The Sims Medieval presentation at GamesCom 2010.  Since it’s impossible to put them all here, I’ve gone out of my way to provide you this link to the article.
