Summary: IM SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!
Review: 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!!!!!!!

Summary: The biggest expansion yet!
Review: This expansion has more objects, more interactions, more sims, more everything! Build a Downtown area for your sims to explore alone, or with a friend. You can use several new objects and characters in each downtown building, with no limit on the amount of money you spend! Keep in mind, though, that the more you spend on a building, the more your sims pay to go there. You can build parks, restaurants, nightclubs, malls, and any other public place you can think of. Any objects you can use their can also be used in your own household. Then it's time to put those buildings to use. It all starts by picking up the phone. Call up a date. It can be someone you know from the neighborhood, or one of several NPCs (non-playable characters.) Or, if you prefer, go alone and spend some money on yourself. You can buy new clothes to wear, eat some food, dance, whatever! A seperate meter from the friend meter is on the menu showing how far along you are with your love interest. If you have a good enough time, you may even fall in love and marry your date, making him/her a permanent part of your household! Having a good time may require building up of interests your date enjoys, including sports, computers, etc. Building interests can be easily done by reading magazines. Plenty of new features insures this expansion will be the biggest and best yet!

Summary: When will it stop?
Review: First off, I loved the first game, and the first expansions where interesting additions to an already great and addictive game. However, these additions didn't a whole lot to gameplay except for giving you new skins and items for your house. (something you can download online for free by the way) Long story short, these expansions are all great but for the money, try out a new game.

Summary: Is it gonna work?
Review: Buying the House Party expansion pack taught me ONE thing;don't mess with EA!!! It simply makes my computer crash..So I'm thinking, well, the Hot Date expansion pack seems to be really good! Nice idea......but who is to guarantee me I won't throw my money away, just like I did with House Party? And it's not a technical problem that makes my computer crash.....it's the CD! I probably won't resist buying Hot Date. Let's just hope curiosity won't kill the cat AGAIN!

Summary: 5 stars but only if uve got the other sim games
Review: 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. Aside from the building of Downtown itself, the new expansion will involve the social interaction between two Sims. In the regular game, you get to directly control the members of your household. If people are hungry, you make them eat. If they need sleep, you make them sleep. But in Hot Date, you control only one Sim, the one who initiates the date. That Sim follows your commands, and you can control him or her throughout Downtown. Although you'll have a companion on your date, you won't have direct control over that person. He or she can leave at any time if he or she is bored. If he's hungry, and you don't feed him, he can just get up and walk out on the date. The challenge of the game comes in keeping the date interested in you and indirectly controlling how he or she acts. So if that date is hungry, you'll need to bring her to a restaurant where she can order food. If she's bored, you might bring her to a dance club. Hot Date's style of gameplay is different from that of the Sims. Now, instead of controlling people directly, you can nudge them along only by picking up on their motivations and then using your controllable Sim to lead them to interaction spots where they can meet those needs. The point of the date is to keep the two people--one you control and one you lead--on the date as long as possible to see all the cool things in Downtown. There are various social interaction rewards laced throughout the game. Fans of the Sims will recall the "love bed" reward, which you receive if you can get two Sims to make out on the love bed together. In Hot Date, there will be plenty of rewards of that nature. If you manage to keep the date interested throughout the evening, you'll be rewarded with lots of cuddling and making out. Maxis says that the gameplay is controlling one person and using that person to meet the needs of your date, getting him or her to follow you to reward places. Of course, like in much of real life, the way you get your date to follow you is by taking out your wallet. Everything costs money in Downtown. You need to pay to get into clubs, buy food at restaurants, and buy items when shopping. By using your money, you can boost your date's mood--once you've picked up on what motivates him or her, of course. In the regular game, if you want to meet a Sim's need for nice food, you might buy an expensive refrigerator. Of course, on a date, you can instead just go out and buy food for your date and thus meet his or her expensive food needs. By using Downtown, you can thus satiate the appetites of Sims, but without having to buy permanent solutions for them, like the fridge. To actually get a date going, you can go to Downtown and just pick up a datable NPC hanging out there. Or you can invite a Sim to a date over the phone. With Hot Date, a new option will be granted when talking to Sims on the phone: a date option. You can call a person up and ask him or her to meet you in Downtown for a date. Seconds later, a taxicab will arrive at your doorstep. You can step in and your next stop will be Downtown, where your date will be waiting.id like to thank game spot for the review and all round this game will be totally great, now all thats left 2 do is to order it and wait.

Summary: 8th Wonder of The World..... The Sims... What happens Next?
Review: I have read all of the reviews for the Expansion and I think that this is the FAR best Sims Expantion Pack! It has just about everything that a Sims fan wanted and more. I think that this could be the best trend that it was ever to come about. The walls... floors.... and of course the Objects....... are just what everyone wants. I think that this is the best game that I will\and have invested in. I recommend it to anyone! Young or Old Male or Female it is for everyone!

Summary: This sounds great!
Review: I've played the original Sims for a long time on my computer, then my friend told me about Livin' Large and House Party so I ended up dishing out the cash for both. They haven't even arrived in the mail yet but I've used both at his house. Being able to go out on dates downtown will be really cool. Sims are becoming more and more lifelike!

Summary: WOO HOO!
Review: This is probally going to be one of the last expansions packs for The Sims, simply because Maxis will soon (after the Sims Online, and Hot Date) be comeing out with The Sims 2. Why are they doing this, you may be asking? Every new expansion pack you add onto your computer is like another game, and eats up a ton and 1/2 of memory for those who don't have up-to-date computers. This means that with Hot Date, the expansion packs will amount up to 4 regular games-- and many computers cannot handel that. Speaking of which, just a reminder. You must have The Sims, Living Large, and House Party for this expansion pack to work. Maxis had planned on giving the option of having sims visit other sims houses, but they found this would interfere with the game's progress on another household, which makes that dream an impossibility. Instead, Maxis has a new option available: Visiting Downtown. Here you can rendezvous with a friend, or even hook up with a random computer sim. You can buy dinners, clothes, (NEW PAJAMAS!) and do various 'special' events with your sim. This has the promise of being the ULTIMATE ADD ON!
