FINALLY! All of us simmers have been waiting for the chance to play with a family AWAY from the home! The houses are great, but sometimes a Sim needs a change of scenery :) That's where the downtown comes in. You can change the stores, decide what should be sold, and basically do whatever you want! My only wish would be that it would give more empty lots for development. Other than that, it's great!

I'm getting this game the day it comes out...

Ever since its release early last year, The Sims has had powerful and lasting appeal. Whether it's the lure of manipulating a family of artificial people, building homes, or managing all the aspects of a career and lifestyle at your own pace, the Sims has that special quality that has garnered millions of fans. The beauty of the game that Will Wright created, though, is that it emulates real life, meaning it has an endless base of possibilities to draw from for future expansions, and it is also modular in design, meaning it's fairly easy for the designers to plug in new components to enrich the game.

One of the new NPCs is the lovelorn guitarist.
The Sims has had two expansion packs so far, and now Maxis is producing a third one. Maxis says that it is always considering what the fans want and is always looking to dig deeper into places it hasn't yet explored. In this new expansion, Hot Date, the designers are now delving into one aspect that Sims fans have clamored for from the beginning--the opportunity to manage and manipulate romantic human relationships in greater depth than was previously available in the original game. After all, now that you can have a career and throw a party, what about dating and romance? With Hot Date, Maxis is now giving lonely Sims fans a love life.

A new facet of The Sims: the Downtown area.
We recently visited the Maxis offices in Walnut Creek, California, and got a chance to see Hot Date, which has been in development for a little more than a month and is slated for release sometime in October or November. Maxis says that when considering Hot Date, there were two things it wanted to play with: social one-on-one interaction between Sims and letting players go to someone else's house. The first objective would be easy to achieve; however, the second was determined to be too difficult. That is because each house in The Sims is a saved game, so you can't visit and interact with someone else's house without messing up his or her saved game. Thus, it was decided that a compromise could be reached by creating an entirely new location where social interactions could take place. Enter Downtown.

Downtown is a neutral location, so to speak, where dates happen. Hot Date is about being in Downtown with your date. Just like you can with a house, but on a larger scale, you'll be able to build Downtown into whatever you want, creating different parks, restaurants, clubs, shops, and other venues. Downtown will look very different from your original neighborhood--picture a street of small boutique shops and restaurants--and will also have its own nonplayer characters (NPCs). Many of the components are new and fit into the style of a downtown district but can also be added to your homes if you wish

Hot Date is so awesome! I love all the new objects and that you can go downtown. I just wish you could get some downtown objects at home, and vice versa. There are a lot different "social interactions". So get it.

Fun

I've read reviews from some people that say this game does not work on Windows XP. Well, I have Windows XP and it works perfectly on mine. Maybe it's their computers that aren't working. I happen to love this game and "Hot Date" just adds to the fun. It can get boring if you play it all day every day. But if you remember you have a life outside the game and only play it an hour or so every few days you'll find that it never gets boring. There are a few things that should have been fixed though. The sims get tired way too fast. You no sooner get them out of bed, go to the bathroom, clean up and eat then you have to put them back to bed because they're sleepy again. You barely have enough time to go downtown. Also, sims often get stuck in doorways if one is trying to enter and one is trying to exit at the same time. They'll just stand there all day long if you don't manually get one out of the way. Other than that I think this game is loads of fun. The extra options the sims can do, like cuddle, is really cool. I look forward to more expansion packs and also The Sims for PS2.

Coolest
