Hot date=hot game!

WOW! I started playing the sims pretty recently on my roommates computer (PC). We just had the original sims. Then, when Hot Date came out for PC, we bought all the other expansion packs and I was blown away.

Everything else was really just add-ons, cool skins, new walls and objects, but Hot Date totally rocked! You get new characters, TOWNIES that your sim can interact with, and if things get going, bring home...tons of really cool new building stuff. Loads of new interactions so that building a relationship is MUCH harder. You really have to pair two sims up, rather thann just stick em together and if they talk enough they will fall in love. In Hot Date you have tons of different kissing styles, hug styles, cuddling options and chat options. Its great, your sims can hold neat conversations!

What I am concerned with is the fact that the release date keeps being postponed. I know when they finally release Hot Date for MAC it will rock, maybe more than the PC version because they will have worked out the bugs.

Keep the faith simmers and mac users, oh and BTW, there is a new program not associated with maxis or aspyr called SKIN SHRINKER that will change PC skins for mac, so all thsoe pesky renaming of downloaded skins is over! Happy gaming!

Hot Date is super HOT!!!!

I have bought The Sims and every other expansion pack along with it, and Hot Date is one of a kind. The new items are so cool, and the ability to go downtown greatly helps Sims socially. Before, when my Sims were required to make friends for their jobs, I might run out of people in my neighborhood, but now they can meet the Townies downtown.

Downtown is basically a whole new neighborhood for the Sims to go to. You can build on and destroy the 10 lots, as well as design your own hangout area. To get downtown, your Sim must call on his/her telephone "Call Cab">"Go Downtown", and a few minutes later, a taxi will bring them over.

Incredible as it is, Hot Date has some minor faults. If you have not installed the two previous expansion packs (Livin' Large and House Party), you can't access some of the lots. For example, they placed objects such as the DJ booth and dance cage (from House Party) in the cowboy night club area, so it won't work if you don't have that expansion pack. Also, when you leave in the cab, you return to exactly the same time after you've finished your shopping and partying. So, if you think you'll pop in at 2:00 A.M., get back at 6:00, and then go to work, still with reasonable energy, think again. Your Sim's needs continue to lower as you stay downtown, so usually, by the time you get back, you are in a pretty bad mood. Also, kids can't go downtown, and you can't save your game while your downtown. If you say in the options menu "go back to neighborhood" you lose all progress in relationships, but if you "quit", you keep all relationship and mood changes, so when you select the family again, they will immediatly pull up in a taxi, and you have to call again to go downtown.

This is the ultimate expansion pack for all sim lovers with a mac. It's awful that they come out with the mac version so late but owning a mac myself I've played the Sims Hot Date on a pc and it's incredible. Finally your sim can go somewhere else besides the front lawn. (They can go downtown, you can build malls etc.) Pre-order this game is my suggestion. Without this game you have not completely felt the whole Sims expirence!

This game is wonderful. It's horrible that they come out with the game for Mac so late, but I've played it on a PC and I loved it! Your Sims can go downtown, buy things, have a couple of drinks at the bar, and be back home (in a flashy yellow taxi cab) in time for dinner. You also get more neighborhoods, more awesome objects, and great new people. I rate this game 5 stars and would recommend this to any Sims lovers. I can't wait until Vacation comes to the Mac!!!

Sims at their best!

This is the most original expansion pack for Sims yet! By far the best one too. It has a new downtown area which you can get to easily by picking up the phone and calling a cab. When you're in downtown there's almost no end to the things you can do. You can visit any one of the many lots, and go shopping, for PJs, swimsuits and formalswear, or have a snack at the ice cream, hot dog or snack stand, meet new computer created characters and date them. Those are just the things you can do with your single Sim! When you've got your date along with you, you can go shopping for them, have a romantic dinner, play a game of chess in the park, or cuddle next to them on the swing. There are lots of other things you can do as well. When you're in the neighborhood, you can click on a button that can take you downtown without a Sim, where you can just view all the stores, or tear a lot down and build anew! When you do decide to build, there are several new wallpapers, floors, fences and other objects to build with, and when you're done building, you can furnish it all with the new items added on, so that you have a wonderful, new downtown lot. The best part is, each neighborhood comes with it's own downtown area, and quircky characters, so the fun will last you for a long time before you even begin to get bored!

Hot Date for Mac; Why is it taking so long?

I have played this game once on PC and found it to be the best and most fun Sims yet (and that includes Vacation). Although, it greatly angers me that Maxis is taking so long to make this game available for Macintosh. This game was supposed to come out May 1st, but Maxis decided to give themselves another month. I find that rude and lacking intelligence for many people own Macintosh computers and would like to play (and of course pay for) this game. But yes, I do reccomend to all Mac users to purchase this game when it finally comes out because it is really great. There are so many new objects, skins, and choices for your Sim families.
