Meteorites

Not every rock you pick up in Bridgeport is of this planet. Some are meteorites from the great beyond that twinkles beyond the neon-lit skies of Bridgeport.

These rocks can be worth serious Simoleons if you play your cards right and are not afraid of a little risk. There are three sizes—small, large, and huge.

Metal Ore	Min. Weight	Max. Weight	Value of Min. Weight	Value of Max. Weight
Small	1	65	10	30
Large	100	1,050	50	200
Huge	50,000	1,001,000	2,000	4,500

Meteorites can be worth quite a bit of money, but there is a degree of risk when you analyze a meteorite to determine what it is. Sometimes the raw value of a meteorite is greater than its worth once it has been identified.

For example, if analysis reveals your meteorite is Ordinary Chondrite, the meteorite is now only worth half of its previous value. After analyzing it, there is no way to reverse the process, so you might be stuck with a less valuable space rock.

Here is a list of all of the possible results of analysis and the value multipliers of such discoveries:

Magical Gnomes

There are a pair of new magic gnomes in Late Night. These two gnomes are based on new features in this expansion—celebrity and vampires.

When you discover a magical gnome, put him in your house or somewhere on your lot. Immediately, you get a nice environmental bump. But the real magic of these little gnomes doesn’t kick in until between the hours of 3 a.m. and 6 a.m..

While you are sleeping, these little gnomes like to get into mischief. When you are not looking, they gnomes move around. Sometimes they just move into new positions, like lounging next to your pool. However, some of the gnomes like to cause trouble, like turning on the TV or stereo in the middle of the night, waking up Sims.

The Celebrity magic gnome is sometimes found in the catacombs below the graveyard or inside ore and uncut rocks. This magic gnome loves to be placed near hot tubs, professional bars (on lots you own), and expensive vehicles.

The Vampire magic gnome, on the other hand, only shows up if you have several Plasma Fruit in your garden. The exact required number changes all the time, so if you really want to see this gnome, make sure you have plenty of Plasma Fruits on your lot.

The Vampire gnome is an adorable little fellow—and if you happen have to a teddy bear on your lot, it loves to sneak up on the bear. The gnome may even turn the teddy bear in a vampire gnome!
