The Sims 3 gets a new downtown area in the latest expansion pack? That's it? For a whole expansion pack?
Players will be able to take their Sims into the bustling urban setting where they'll be able to become a local celebrity, member of a music band, mixologist, director, and more. To gain entrance into the most elite clubs in town, players need to keep their attitude in check otherwise they'll be given the cold shoulder by tough bouncers or find another way onto the list. If chilling is the player's forte, their Sims can lounge at a chic club or dive bar or if they like to live on the edge, they can discover the secret of becoming a vampire. Whether embarking on a new career, painting the town red, or throwing a party on the rooftop of a penthouse, it's always up to the player to tell their unique stories with The Sims 3. What will happen when the lights go out and Sims get all access?
Say what you will about the adventures in the World Adventures expansion pack and the career tracks in the Ambitions expansion pack, but at least they tried to change up the way I played the game. Adding a club scene, but with vampires, sounds less like an expansion pack than blatant pandering to the Twilight crowd.

I say it's time to just bring out the pets already!
