An island nestled in the Simuyan Sea, Barnacle Bay is a

parks, and a curiously modern downtown. First settled by
pirates, fisherman, and artists – the world’s inhabitants now

Wanderer’s Watering Hole. Will Your trip be a vacation or a
staycation?

The current poll, asking whether you think The Sims 3 Late Night
sounds like it should end with “Stuff”, has been extended to 2nd
October as I haven’t received enough votes to close it yet. The
final results will be revealed on that date if I’ve received enough votes
by then, though of course you can see the results as they stood when
I sent the News Email at the bottom.
Game Blend Reviews Fast Lane Stuff
Game Blend has posted their review of The Sims 3 Fast Lane Stuff.
If you’re hoping to just glance at a rating, they don’t give one,
but if you actually want to read about it and view some screenshots,
you may want to check it out:
Over all, I’ll be honest and say that not being a huge car
fan, I could live without this Stuff Pack. But if you love cars
and have been waiting for your Sims to have more options on what
they can drive, the Pack delivers.
“Producer’s Blog” Details Celebrities
In Late Night
A
new “Producer’s Blog” has been posted on TheSims3.com, focusing on
celebrities:
The hills of Bridgeport located on the other side of the
town’s famous bridge are dotted with gorgeous, massive mansions
filled with celebrities and their odd stories. Your Sim can move
into one of these houses and protect it with an electronic gate,
or they can stick to one of the expensive high-rise penthouses
downtown.
As has become standard for new
expansion or
stuff packs, Apple has now posted their article about The Sims 3
Fast Lane Stuff:
What’s your Sims’ style? Racing? Intrigue? Rockabilly?
Classic Luxury? Maybe Mom goes for Racing, complete with a
living room wall display of custom rims, a set of Tuff Gruff
Tools in the garage, and a Velocity racer from Simota Motor
Sports in the garage. When she isn’t working on her car, a
sporty blazer and a nice pair of slacks are perfect for taking a
stroll through downtown Sunset Valley with her family.
GamesRadar Has A Chat With Grant Rodiek
About Celebrities In Late Night
GamesRadar has
posted an exclusive chat with Grant Rodiek, who discusses
celebrities in The Sims 3 Late Night:
GR: Why did The Sims team decide to introduce
celebrities in Late Night?
Rodiek: Several reasons. Celebrities make
for fantastic storytelling – they are hilarious, bizarre,
charming, sexy – who doesn’t want to be all of those things.
Openness and humor are our trademarks so it’d be a mistake to
pass up celebrities.
