The Sims 3: Late Night is the third expansion for the popular Sims 3 franchise. Despite it being released a scant four months after the last one, Late Night is no slouch in its content, and will further enhance the alternate life experience for series fans. Let us stress "fans" in that last sentence. Like every expansion pack that has ever been released for the franchise, Late Night will not turn a non-fan into a fan. At this point, it's probably safe to assume that Electronic Arts has no plans to make massive overhauls outside of sequels, so people who don't get the franchise or just find it boring will find nothing overly exciting here. However, for the hardcore Sims players who have experienced staying up entirely too late to just tweak that one last wall or play just one more Sim day, there is plenty to enjoy.
Late Night provides new clothing, hairstyle, and decorative options, but of course those are in every expansion. The main draws of Late Night are, strangely, elements from several previous expansions from other versions of the franchise. For example, one of the biggest features is the celebrity system, last seen way back in The Sims 1: Superstar. While running around town and living life, your little people can become celebrities based on their careers or socializing, and they can be rated from one to five stars in their fame. Celebrities view themselves above the sludge that is the rest of the neighborhood, and are challenges to socialize with, as you have to "impress" them before you can do anything more than ask for an autograph.
