THIS GAME SOUNDS SO COOL! I love the Sims and have always wondered why there is no town or why they just get married without really dating. This expansion pack sounds like it answers ALL of my questions and it sounds so much fun to experiment with different types of romantic.....challenges. Picnics, and bars, and romantic restaraunts....what sim could want more? And you get to build the downtown part of Simcity yourself! So....I really hope this was....somewhat helpful and i can't wait for this game to come out; can you?

Hot Date. The name gives it away. Does having a girl over sound hot? No. You need to go out to eat or just get away from the house. I made a single dad with three kids, had a girl over and the kids came in every five minutes. This new expansion will be a great enhancement. And if you really want to have fun, you can flirt with the waitress while on a date. Maxis wanted this to be big, and it is....

The MMMOOOSTT incredible game in the world.

THis is the most exciting expantion pack. I always wanted to make my sims go out of the house but I never imagined my dream come true this is incredible you can build bars,restaurants,shops,even you can build your own version of the Moulin Rouge. I can't wait to November 14th to get it because it seems like that the better expantion pack in the world its coming to the sims right now....
THe most exciting are the new ways to interact like the passionate kiss or the handshake greet. So in my opinion if you like the sims you will ADORE the sims hot date

Parents worried, than show them this.

I know that with the sims, your parents will freak out, or say that you cant have it because its rated teen, and with this new title, HOT DATE, my parents arent sure either, but its not bad at all. You dont see anything.....BAD........or any BAD language, heck, they have their own SIM language. It helps you find out that you cant spend to much money, or you wont have everything that you need, its educational in a way. I have all of the sims games, and i am planning to get this one also. In the sims hot date, you will be able to go into town, you dont have to stay at home, you can finally go on your VERY first date with the sims... I have been waiting for this, and Im sure it will be the best one so far......I hope that this has helped!! PARENTS DONT WORRY, YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE THIS GAME, AND ITS A PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT!! LOL

A huge leap for Simkind!

This game really really adds to the Sims. It was the first expansion to let your sim leave its house, and introduced a whole slew of new people for your sim to become friends with, with out you having to manage them in an actual sim household. The new "Downtown" area is a place to meet people on your own, or go on dates with prospective lovers. Go shopping for swimwear, formal wear, and pjs, as well as other trinkets and gifts to give to other sims. Go out for a casual drink and hit the dance floor, or take your love out for a dinner date where you can cuddle and make out in the booths. Be serenaded, or have a picnic outdoors, or just cuddle on the new swing bench.

The new household objects aren't that vast, but they are generally classy themed. Most of the things for this game are designed for downtown, but the ones for the house are lovely as well. Another huge part of this game is the new social interactions! Tons of new kisses, hugs, talk-subjects, nagging, bragging, insults, teasing, just about every aspect of the game has a new level to it that you can test out. This is a really great expansion pack and highly recommended!

The best expansion pack for any game

When I heard that Maxis was coming out with an expansion where you could take your Sim out of their home environment, I was thrilled. Maxis had to do a pretty good job, because everyone had high expectations of the game. They certinaly did better than pretty good, and If I could only have one expansion to the Sims, this would be it.

In the Sims Hot Date, you can go to the downtown area and dine, shop, or lounge. You can mingle with the townies, or ask one of them to hang out, or even go on a date with you. The dating experience is a great addition to the game. A classic Sims date would start out with picknicking at a park, or soaking up rays at the beach. They they go to dinner and play footsie under the table. Maybe even making out. But watch out for the Prude, because if she sees you and your significant other making out, you'll have a pretty big bruise on your head from her purse. Maybe after dinner you could go shopping, buy her some chocolates, a nightgown, or a new swimsuit. Then end it with a good-night kiss.

There are over 150 new objects to keep you busy at the downtown area, and even some wonderful objects for your home. How about a love tub? A huge Japanese fish pond? A swinging porch swing? Hot Date has it all. And who knows, the date might go so well, they'll want to go home with you (your sim).

Rekindling an old flame

There's nothing like a little romance to spice up a boring life, and this expansion pack does just that. The area added is substantially larger than the game itself before this expansion. It is true that the downtown area is slow on my pokey 566 MHz Celeron, but not unplayably so, and the addition of stores, shopping, dining, and more makes up for the sluggishness. I had been bored with The Sims and had hardly played it in months, but Hot Date has rekindled my interest and kept it for hours and hours.

As for problems with installation, not only did I have none, but it seems to have fixed a problem I had before when trying to exit Livin' Large after playing it in 1024 x 768 (a problem which was not solved by uninstalling and reinstalling or upgrading video drivers). The game runs better now than it used to, for me at least.

Sims Hot Date will ROCK!

I've always loved trying to get my sims into each other and all, and now this creates a whole bunch of new ways of doing that! I am so looking forward to this game! Telling ya guys, you gotta get this when it comes out, I know I sure am! Ya gotta have the orignal version, and if you don't...let me tell you it's totally worth your money! I know when this game hits stores, I'll be there!!

The Sims Hotdate is a great game for any fan of the Sims. I suggest getting the expansion packs in order because if you don't you can have problems loading explansion packs later on and you may end up losing everything.
The Sims Hotdate can be a lot of fun, but beware if you have a slow computer the people inch along and everything takes forever. Getting to the cool new places to shop and eat can take up to twenty minutes if you have a slow enough computer. If your impatient you just aren't going to want to play and you will have wasted your money.
If you have a fast computer or are really patient however this game is a blast. This new downtown area is a great place to meet new sims and buy new outfits. Going to the new shops is a great way to expand your wardrobe. Along with the downtown area there are also many people to be, building options, clothing, and things to put in your house. There really is a lot of new stuff and if you have started getting bored with the same old options all the time, The Sims Hotdate is a great way to make it seem new again.
I strongly suggest this expansion pack to any Sims fan with a fast or moderatly fast computer.

Strong and fun...how expansions should be done

The newest expansion for the revolutionary game The Sims doubles your fun by finally allowing your characters to go out into the world and interact with people or go on dates in downtown locales such as restaurants, nightclubs, clothing stores and the beach. You can build stores as well, but they give you just about everything you need right off the bat, so you're pretty much left with building weird looking stuff that already exists.

The installation (once it stopped crashing) also gives you more options for interaction (you can kiss fiery, nicely, peck, etc.) and you can improve a sim's interests in something by reading magazines, increasing their chances with more people they come in contact with. great stuff, and, like the expansions before it, totally necessary and right on time.
