Once I got Hot Date up and running, I tried to figure out how I lived without it! Livin' Large added on some cool stuff, but Hot Date added loads of awesome interactives! Not only were new career tracks and objects added, but we got a whole new world! Interact with the new NPCs called townies that live downtown, buy gifts to give from The Sims to a diamond ring, try out new social interactions, and more. You even have fun when in build and buy, too. You now have a whole downtown to build up and tear down! Make anything from a disco club to a fancy 5-Star restaurant, and you still will have time to come up with a name and description for your place. Also, you gotta love the skins. There are more types of kisses besides polite and passionate, and you get to choose which kiss you want your Sim to give. There's peck (on cheek), suave (on hand), romantic (french kiss), and fiery (you'll have to find out for yourself!). There's also more hugs such as intimate (close and long), leap into arms (self-explanitory), and romantic (extremely close and long). There's so much social interactions, they have to be sub-categorized!

if it could of got any better, it just did!

the sims has always been my favorite game. The 2 different expansion packs added some variety but in the end i always end up getting bored with the daily routine. (+ The problem with house party is the job of clearing up, the morning after.)
With downtown you can put on a formal suit and take your sim to a posh ballroom or wear a really cool dress and head off to a club for the night.Why not create a library or a swimming pool+ gym instead of buying them for your house?
Although there are only 10 lots in downtown you can build as many shops etc. on one lot as you want. And theres a downtown for each nieghbourhood so you'll never be bored again!

The game of the year

The Sims: Hot Date is an expansion pack is a must-have if you own The Sims. With this pack you get access to a downtown area where you can buy clothes, eat at restaurants, and interact with other Sims called "Townies". You also get more furniture, wallpaper, and appliance choices to decorate your house with. If you are creating a Sim, you'll notice that there are some more head and clothing choices. The best part, however, is that you get more social interactions. In the basic game, for example, you're limited to only kissing another Sim. With the Hot Date expansion pack, you can kiss a Sim in several different ways--kiss, peck, polite, suave, passionate, romantic, and (my favorite, but use with caution--it may risk relationship points if done to the wrong Sim) fiery. Another thing that affects relationship points is that your Sims now have interests. Some might be interested in music, technology, or romance while some may not have any interests at all.

The only bad part, you ask? Going to the downtown area takes forever to load. I'm usually stuck staring at the red screen with a picture of a cab for 5 minutes. Plus, there are a few bugs in the game. Sometimes the "Townies" will stand in the middle of the street and hold up traffic, which is a pain when you're waiting for a cab.

The Sims: Hot Date is a must-have for having even more fun playing The Sims.

Another Great Expansion to a Already Great Game

This is a great addition to your game. While past expansions have simply offered new objects, jobs and skins. Hot Date takes it up a notch by introducing a whole new enviroment. Now instead of mearly sitting around the house, your sims can now roam around downtown to their hearts content. This also adds a multitude of new social interactions such as leap into arms, or snuggle together at the couch as opposed of the traditional five hugs in a row to get those relationship points up. The only evident downside is that with the new interactions it now gets harder for your sims to get to the level of marriage. However that is only a minor detail, and only requires a little bit of work to surpass. Overall a great game.

A great expansion to The Sims

This is yet another Sims expansion pack, yes that makes a total of three now. But somehow Maxis managed to make it the best yet, with the main upgrade being the ability to take sims downtown, there are also many more social options that are now all organized into efficient menus. But back to the downtown, each neighborhood has it's own and there are no money restrictions downtown so feel free to build to your hearts content. There are a lots (125+)of new objects available, some are only available downtown. You can build restaurants, bars (non-alcoholic of course), nightclubs, parks, and two of the downtown lots are beaches. The minimum system requirements have gone up however, now you need 64MB of RAM to play not 32 and it takes up 600MB of hard drive space more than any other sim expansion. The sound and graphics haven't changed at all, but the gameplay is MUCH improved and it doesn't feel like your sims are living in a bubble anymore. There are however some bugs in Hot Date sometimes people get stuck cuddling on couches (another new interaction) or in dining booths, some people have complained about sound issues after installing Hot Date, and some other problems. But despite that The Sims Hot Date is a fun, enjoyable addition to the sims and if you like this game at all get this expansion, it's WELL worth your money.

IM SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!

I can't wait until Hot Date comes out, I go around to different websites reading about it and this is what I`v come up with, The Hot Date is a whole new world in sim dating, there's a downtown were u can meet people and go on dates, u can go to places like, restaurants, (like the 50's diner or a cheap fast food place), u can also take ur date to the dance clubs or a bar, but if u get too close to ur date an old lady comes up and smacks u with her bag, u can also take ur date to the beach to have a nice picnic, or recite poetry, or u can also go to the park to race boats or feed the fish, u can also take ur date shopping and buy him/her a stuffed bear or some flowers,ect. U dont have to go downtown with a date, u can also go alone if u wanna have a bite to eat or buy urself some new cloths. There's gonna be over 100 new items for ur house and downtown, there's also gonna be new skins and a bunch more, Hot Date is gonna be the coolest sim EP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait until it comes out! And I recommend this game and other great sim games to every one!!!!!!!

Buyer Beware!

Although I love Hot Date to death, I still must warn potential buyers. If your computer barely meets the requirements, don't buy it or upgrade your computer. Downtown runs so slow that you can eat a meal in real life before your sims even order theirs. Plus, the game "hnags", get's stuck, and crashes. My game refuses to work with my other expansion packs and Maxis representatives told me to take it back. So unless you have a high performance pc, way beyond the minimum requirements, think twice.

The Sims Have Gotten Even Cooler ! ! !

This is probably the best Sims add on pack to date. It takes the game to a whole new level - - and this time by offering more than just cool items to add to the house...

Though I've been addicted to the game for what feels like a lifetime (remember what life was like before the PC and VCRS ? Can't imagine what life was like before the Sims either !) I have to say that this is the one I've been waiting for... now you can take your Sims out of the house and they can hang out and mix and mingle down town. (This was the one thing I felt missing when I first got the game... that and a pet dog...) Though it would be nice in future versions if it would be possible for them to freely walk around the neighborhood and freely go out visiting, or even play online... this is the best its gotten yet and the Sims was already great.

EA Games are brilliant. They take a great idea, and just when it starts to wear thin, come out with an expansion pack that expands the fun. - - This is "playing house" and virtual reality taken to a whole new level.. and although HOT DATE can be mildly risque at times (now, not only can you kiss, but there are different types of kisses to add to that vibrating love bed...) its nice to have a video game that doesn't involve winding labrynths, machine guns, 3 lives, and endless caves and caverns.

All in all, this is a must have for the exhuberent Sims-a-haulic.. You'll never watch TV or play Nintendo again !

The best game expansion pack ever!!!

The Sims: Hot Date is without a doubt the best game expansion pack ever. Some people say that The Sims: Vacation is a better than hot date but they are wrong. First of all there are 125 new items on Hot date. Only 77 items on Vacation. There are many Pros and Cons about this game.
________________________________________
Pros
1.Alot of new items/objects. There are new floors, windows, wallpapers, doors, trees, lights, tables and counters. There's even a lighted ceiling fan.
2.You get to create a whole different world(Downtown).
3.Get to expand the sims social life. Alot of the sims atitude depends on social activity.
Cons
1.Takes a long time to load.
2.It could have more features.
________________________________________
This is a must buy expansion pack!
