The Sims 3: Late Night

Among the myriad interactions that Sims characters may have with one another, there is the option for them to get into fights with one another. Additionally, it's possible for players to leave their Sims unattended in hazardous situations, such as being trapped in a house fire. It is possible for Sims to die. Such actions are not encouraged, however, because players will have to start all over again if their Sim passes away.

Sims characters can hook up, make out, and even have sex, which is referred to in the game as "Woohoo," accompanied by moaning and giggling sounds. The depiction is always obscured, though. This has been seen in previous entries in the game franchise before, but this expansion pack highlights it because of its glamorization of the night club scene. The game encourages players to scope out the most exclusive clubs, all of which include scantily-clad male and female characters dancing in alluring settings. Some of the new locations in the game, like hot tub rooftops and backseats of cars, add to the enticement of the sexual activities.

Despite this game's raunchy and realistic simulation of the nightlife world, there is no direct reference to alcohol, tobacco, or any sort of drugs. The clubs do have bars with glasses and drinks, but it is never specified what these drinks are.

Parents need to know that The Sims 3: Late Night is an expansion pack to the Sims 3 game for PC and Mac platforms. It adds the ability to go out on the town and visit night clubs late at night. Players can take their Sim to dance, socialize, and hook up with other characters. Its entire emphasis is on nightlife and encouraging players to get into more and more exclusive venues. Along with visiting these clubs, players will see provocatively-dressed dancers and see that it is easier to make out with some characters here. However, other factors usually associated with nightlife - including getting buzzed or drunk - are avoided in this game.
