Late Night or Ambitions?

[AimPyre]

I'm planning on getting a new Sims 3 expansion pack. I currently have Pets, Generations and Seasons, which are awesome. But I'm curious about possibly getting one more expansion pack.

So, which one should I get? And, could someone maybe describe what I'd exactly be getting with each expansion so I could compare them easier? I know basically what the expansions are about, but I don't know everything about either. I have heard you unlock a new town with Late Night? Is that also true with Ambitions?

Thanks!

Depends on your playstyle.

Ambitions has: the town of Twinbrook, inventing, sculpting, tattooing, laundry, Simbots, 1 new rabbithole career (Education), 5 active professions (architectural designer, firefighter, ghost hunter, investigator, stylist), ability to become self-employed, several new buildings (fire house, salon, junkyard, consignment shop, laundromat), motorcycles, death by meteor, and some new traits, lifetime wishes, and lifetime rewards.

Late Night has: the city of Bridgeport, the celebrity system, the weaker version of vampires (the better one is in Supernatural), butlers, apartment buildings, new muscial instruments (bass, drums, piano) and the ability to form a band, a new career (film), bars and bartending, new skills (the instruments and mixology), subways, 2 new traits, 1 new radio station (hip-hop), bars and lounges, and food trucks.

Both have new magical gnomes and additions to CAS. (Late Night's additions mostly are focussed on party clothes; Ambitions' clothes don't have quite as pronounced a theme.)

I, personally, prefer Ambitions.

Will prob do that o3o

[susannag]

Yeah, I'm waiting for the next sale to pick up either Pets or University Life.

Anyone know when the next sale is? Are we gonna have to wait til Black Friday?

[BookGeekGamer]

I prefer late night as you get to have more party options for any kind of occasion. Both come with new towns. However, if you are more geared to a family playstyle I would choose Ambitions.

[susannag]

Well, probably the autumn sale, which is maybe later this month? Can't remember when it was last year.

I'm kicking myself for not buying all the SPs and Pets in the Summer sale. I discovered that when I go to modify worlds in CAW, it barfs if there is missing content.

I heard a rumor around the end of this month. I hope Sims 3 is on sale like it was in the summer sale.
