Electronic Arts announced today that The Sims 3 Late Night Expansion Pack for PC and Mac shipped today to retail stores across North America and Europe.

Official synopsis: The Sims 3 Late Night allows players the opportunity to explore their dark side by including creatures of the night, late night hot spots and activities best done after the sun goes down. Players have the option to befriend a vampire and eventually ask their new friend to turn them into one of their kind. Once changed, players will find that their Sims, the characters unique to The Sims games, have thirst instead of hunger, can run faster, read minds and need to sleep during the daylight hours. Vampires have upscale late night hang outs where select few get in, but they aren’t the only ones that get perks and no line access into hot spots.

In The Sims 3 Late Night, players can help their Sims become celebrities complete with paparazzi following their every move. Celebrity Sims live in the ritziest part of town, have access to the best late night establishments and more simoleans than they can count! Players can push their Sim into the brand new film career, where they can choose to pursue their dream as an actor or a director.

But, if players’ Sims are a bit more of the musical type, they can become a celebrity by starting a band. Practice makes perfect as players’ Sims start out jamming in dive bars for tips until eventually they work their way up to seeing their name in lights.

The Sims 3 Late Night gives all-access into a bustling urban setting full of hot tubs, penthouses, subways and more! Whether players choose to take a load off at the local bar, meet celebrities at the hottest clubs, hear their favorite band jam down the street or learn the art of mixology for some extra cash.
