Does anyone here play with Late Night installed?

From what I've heard most people dont install late night because of the celebrities and vampires forced upon us in the normal towns.
Does anyone here play late night and if so how do you cope with the annoying celebrity status?
I really want the city buildings and late night objects but can't bring myself to install the expansion :lol:

    for the most part I just Ignored it, but if you don't want the Celebrity status, dont talk to any.

    I have LN installed, but I also have mods installed. I don't have any vamps or celebs in my games.

    I've had late installed for a VERY long time but without mods such as Twallans Story Progression it wouldn't be staying. I like the idea behind celebrities and vampires but when the entire town is either one it takes away the point of them.

    So I play so that there are NO vampires or celebrities and then use master controller to make vampires and celebrities of my choosing.

    I play LN with no mod & I've just learned to ignore the vampire/celeb thing.
    I really like LNs added game features & objects so worth tolerating NPC infestation. :roll:
    Theres no getting away from them(without mod)once EP is installed they will show up in every world you play in. :wink:

    Grudgingly. It was the last one I installed (until Pets hopefully sometime today) because all I wanted was the piano and piano skill. I also use Twallan's mods, though since LN was still so new to me, I was toying with the vampires and celebrity status and didn't turn them off yet.

    I have it installed with no mods but I usually just ignore the people in town (sounds cruel, I know) I also have a tendency to build fences round all my houses with locked gates :shock:

    i loved the stuff LN added but the vamp/celeb thing was really driving me nuts, then i got Twallens mods!! i especially appreciate being able to get rid of the papparazzi with the register mod i think it is. I still have vamps and celebs in my game but i can limit how they spread

    That doesn't work. Your sim can go into a rabbit hole and come out a celebrity.

    So far, story progression off, and kicking out all EA made sims has kept the celeb plague to a minimum in my game. I don't have a problem with vampires.

    I have it installed and they do not bother me. I would have liked to be able to have or not have the Vampires but I can ignore them. :)

    The celebrity status can be annoying sometimes.

    I have LN installed, the only thing that tends to bother me is the 'Sims name was seen peeing on herself in public' and the negative moodlet for three days and loss of friends that comes with that sort of comment! i use cheats to delete the negative moodlets and get my friendship relationships back up to full :)

    I've downloaded Twallans SP to delete all the vampires and celebrities off my game but I couldn't figure out how to do it! Can someone please help me?!?
    PD: I'm not native english speaker, I'm sorry if this comment is badly written.

    Rofl. What a weird question to ask on the LN forum where you can see manymanymany posts by people talking about the EP and their gameplay.. :D

    Anyway, yes I have it and I have Twallan's mods to keep it from breaking my game.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that explains it then! :D

    With Twallan's Story Progression you can set the base number of vampires to sims to whatever you like. I have it set to 0 So that no vampires will autonomously spawn all over everywhere and usually have one or two vampire families in the town only.

    SP also allows you to fiddle with the celebrity status settings somewhat, but I use Master Controller to take the celebrity status off sims I don't want to have it :)

    The good thing about Nraas mods is that you only get that one extra opton when you click on for example the city hall, a computer or sims and that says "Nraas", then if you choose to click on that (which you dont have to do once the settings are set,unless you want to)it takes you to more options.

    It's all really simple and clean and personally, I couldn't live without those mods, they make my game playable. Plus they're trustworthy and always up to date.

    (:

    I play with Late Night. It gives me the best chance of band gigs. What I did was go into all the Vamp families and get the potion to make them normal, saved each family, sorted sundry sims out, copied them too. Then I sorted the Venues, including parks, grave yard etc, copied them. Once I had a copy of everything sorted, I deleted the city, loaded a 'new game' moved everyone out, bulldozed everything and replaced everything with my copies. Took time but it was worth it. It's a pleasure to play now. [I made a copy of the 'new Bridgeport in case something goes wrong]
