The Sims: Hot Date Expansion Pack

Rating:
Summary: Enough stars or NOT enough??
Review: Ok, so we all know that The Sims are commended worldwide. We all know that it well deserves 5 stars. But the expansion packs, the expansion packs.... they are too well-commended. Sure, this one is one to die for, and I almost did (not literally though~~). But, it's not worth it, believe me. So, let's look at the pros first:
*Hot Date has a fully customizable downtown area*
*The new objects are pretty cool to use*
*The characters are pretty new and they have new "date" cloth themes*
So, let's look at the cons:
*The downtown area is pretty hard to customize because there's always SoMeThInG wrong with the kitchens, the layout of the objects... etc. So, if you catch my drift, it gets pretty frustrating or boring OR maybe both~~*
*Granted, the objects are neat, but once you've mastered HD (Hot Date) they get pretty boring~ as does the rest of the game...*
*Sure, the characters have a pretty cute clothing line, but what about the new CaSuAl line? I guess when they say Hot Date... they mean Hot Date.*

Summary: Sims relationships are better
Review: I got this game last saturday and it is amazing.It actually took me a while to get used to some of the new things like how buy mode is set out.Now i think that it`s much better this way.
The love seat etc are really cool and make the game much more interesting.The daily and life bars make things mre difficult becaise you have to spend alot of time trying to make them fall in love or make friends on the life bar.But the good thing is even if they aren`t in love on the life bar they will still sleep in the same bed and stuff.Unfortunatly the game has bugs on the first night i got it the game froze twice and i`ve been told it is the worst game for doing that.I reconmend that you don`t play it for long than an hour as both times i`d been playing it for about 2 hours.All in all it`s a great game,and i would reconmend it.it`s way better than livin it up.I`m hoping to get the sims and the sims unleashed at my mums though.The fact that they can actually leave their homes and go downtown and date is probably the best thing about the game and also the new characters and skins a pretty good.you should get this expansion pack before any other.

Summary: Sparks fly with this expansion
Review: This is a must have expansion for The Sims. In addition to more neighborhoods it also provides you with a downtown environment for your Sims to go shopping and meet new people. This makes it much easier to keep the Sims happy and to make enough friends to excel in their occupations.

Summary: Fun but buggy
Review: This is a great expansion pack in that it gives us a downtown area (something I think all Sim fans have been waiting for). However, it comes at a very high price: IT IS BUGGY AS HELL.
Even after getting the online patch that is supposed to fix all of the glitches, I am still experiencing the 'hottub and cuddle couch freeze' among others.
Bottom line: It is a fun expansion pack, but BUYER BEWARE.

Summary: saucy
Review: This game was definitely fun when I first got it. I could make them kiss all different ways. I love the fiery kiss. And all the downtown stuff makes it even better especially when you want a new outfit or something like that. It took so much work, however, to make the sims like each other. Now they have two relationship bars, one is the regular bar that goes up really fast and then the other one is like the lifetime relationship one and it takes me almost an entire day for two sims to really like each other.
After playing for a while, I got bored with the downtown area. Everything was the same and I definitely think they could add a lot more stuff like places to buy cuisine food and stuff like that and maybe even a buffet. Sure, it's fun to play with at first but after a while it's the same thing over and over. And the mall is nothing like a real mall... kinda lame.
If you are a hopeless romantic though, you might like this expansion pack. Be warned though, it freezes up so much that it gets annoying. Also this new interest inventory makes it even harder for people to get along. But if you like a challange, go for it.

Summary: One Of The BeSt X-pansion packs!
Review: This is really a packed pack. It has so many new features and it really does enhance the game. Unlike House Party, this game does live up to what EA (Electronic Arts) has been bragging about. I reccomend it 100%! It has so many features such as Going downtown ( a HUGE highlight of the game) cuddle couches, MUCH more organized buying catalog, and, best of all, sweeter ways to kiss good-bye to your spouse before the go off to work. LoL. So, as I had said, you really have to get this!

Summary: HoT DaTe iS HoT!
Review: 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". 40 i think. the fiery kiss is so cool! get your sims to do that one. anyway, go buy it.

Summary: A fun add on to the Sims game
Review: It is a fun add on because you get to build your own stores at Downtown and you can invite sim friends with your sim to the store.

Summary: This is a good game
Review: I like this game a lot. However, I had to re-install my entire sim's system to play. This made me really mad, since I have never downloaded anything for it. Downtown is cool, but the same sims are always there. I'm kinda into the whole two relationship bar thing, but I think that you should be able to build up relationships at work and school, like you would automaticly be an aqantence of anyone in your career track, or at school.
I'm not going to list the same objects everyone else does, instead I'm going to tell you that there are some really awesome new chairs and tables. Like of instance, there is this set called the Formi set. The table is like the Effecency table in House Party, but it is shiny. The chairs are really pretty, the wood is the same color as the table and the cucions are red and leather looking. Also, there are 3 coffee tables.
I am a fan of Simlish, so no complaints there. The new music is really cool, jazzy, but the neighborhood music drives my whole family crazy.
Overall, I like the game, but instaltion is a pain in the neck, and in keeps shuting down. Also, a little too hard to make friends. I think that Vaction will be better, but I have a stupid Mac so I can't get it yet.
