A subway is a rabbit hole in The Sims 3: Late Night that allows Sims to travel from one location to another and is a form of free transportation. Sims who do not own vehicles will autonomously use subways as a substitution for taxicabs. Sims can travel to or from a different subway. Teen and older Sims can use the subway, as well as cats and dogs[TS3:P]. If game mods are used to tell NPCs to prioritize subways higher among possible transport methods, deer[TS3:P] have also been known to use the subway. The station is available in Build Mode → "Community Objects" on community lots, and in Buydebug on residential lots.
There is a 3% chance Sims will get mugged while using the subway. Sims will get the "Mugged" moodlet and lose §25 - §250.
Sims with level 5 instrument skills can play for tips inside the subway, with the exception of the violin[Store]. Sims are more likely to earn tips with higher skills, and the more compositions Sims have performed, the bigger the tips they will earn. Playing for tips in the subway will also increase the Sim's experience if they are self-employed in the Band career[TS3:A]. Sims are still at risk of being mugged while playing for tips.
Even though there is a turnstile inside, Sims do not have to pay a fare to ride the subway.
Multiple subway stations can be placed on the same lot. When traveling to such a lot, which station on that lot they will arrive at appears to be random.
The station has a time table listed near its entrance whose text seems to be in English (and which do not correspond to any Bridgeport locations), but is extremely blurry, even in the game's image assets. Station 2 is recognizable as "St. John's (Rd.?)", and station 8 as "Metro Hub", and the words "South" and "North" can be discerned from stations 3 and 9. The rest of the text is unreadable or practically unreadable.
In The Urbz: Sims in the City, the Central Station represents a subway station.

Custom station designs[]
An example of a player-built custom station.
Under normal circumstances, subway stations in Late Night have only one design, and its color palettes cannot be changed with Create a Style. However, through the use of the MoveObjects cheat, stations can be placed inside walls with stylish designs, leaving a 3- or 2-sq wide space for Sims entering or exiting the station.
Trivia[]
- Subways provide bathrooms; if a Sim has the "Has to Pee" or "Really has to Pee" moodlet, they will autonomously use it.[confirmation needed]
- When Late Night was initially released (with Patch 1.17), Kleptomaniacs could steal the subway stations. This was patched out in patch 1.18 five weeks later.
