The Sims 3 Late Night screenshots

The US TV ad for The Sims 3 Late Night has been released. I don’t think there’s much in the way of new game footage in it, but it’s only brief so you’d might as well watch it anyway:
Grant Rodiek has appeared on GameSpot’s video show Today On The Spot, giving a demo of The Sims 3 Late Night. They’ve posted a video of just the demo, and here it is:
Events in four different UK cities have been announced, where the community can get their hands on The Sims 3 Late Night, as well as The Sims 3 on consoles:
...At least, those were the events announced when I posted this
news on the website - looking at the page linked below again, it
looks like the events in Edinburgh and Cardiff may have been
cancelled. All (both?) the events are between midday and 6 pm. For
more details, click through to the appropriate event from the page
linked below.

A
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.
GameSpot has posted a new preview in which they try to become a “vampire celebrity rock star”:
Late Night’s vampires, as we’ve discussed in previous coverage, aren’t your average bloodthirsty monstrosities, nor are they the clean-cut, dreamy, sparkly kind that all the young people seem to like these days. In many cases, they’re extremely hip, hard-body sims who hang out at the best clubs and set every non-vampire in the room aquiver (seriously, if you’re in the same room with an unfriendly vampire, you get a negative “moodlet” because of how terrified you are).
Digital Spy has posted a new preview of The Sims 3 Late Night:
The expansion also sees the franchise jump on to the vampire bandwagon with the ability to turn Sims into blood-sucking citizens. Darker skin shades and red eyes are a dead giveaway if you want to find them in clubs, and there are a number of benefits besides a more evil appearance. Vampires will move quicker than usual, leaving a blur on the screen as they travel, and skills will be developed at a much faster rate.
