Summary: Its an awsome game!!But there are some problems
Review: Well first of all let me say this is much better then living large and house party, But it makes things like getting married a lot harder to do! It takes forever to get friends and even longer to eat at a restraunt! What i mean is the downtown is fun but it takes so long to build it you dont even have time to actually play and when you do its hard to get them to do things but its a very fun game if youv got the time!

Summary: It's a Great bame! But......
Review: I soon as the game came in the mail I installed it and spent the whole night playing it. However, after a few days my addiction has already ceased. However, it is still loads of fun to play the game with friends. Also, I have all of the previous expansion packs and when I put this game into my computer, my computer became very slow. So I had to reinstall the game w/o the House Party Epack. But to the details:
This EP makes the game a lot more fun and a lot more interesting. First of all, I like the new method of inventory in the buy mode and I love all of the new items. I love the new lights that can be hung from the ceiling, especially the ceiling fan.
Finally, There are ways of impressing girls other than giving her home cooking and hugging her the same old way. Now, when you visit a resturaunt and sit in a booth, you can invite the girl to cuddle next to you then there is a list of things you can try. But you beter be careful. If the chick says no, you're (...). Your relationship meter is plummeting. Oh, if you want to quickly fall in love with a women, avoud the women walking around town. They are tough puppies. I had both of my relationship meters up past 100(New: lifetime relationship meter) and I invited her to my house. (WRONG MOVE!!!) The chick told me she was fed up with me and she left me there, heart-broken on the street. You can never tell how for you can go with one of those townies.
Anyways, with all of the new interactions, items, and add-ons, it is a great game, and I recommened any Sims fan or not to get this game. I love it.

Summary: Good Game, Worth getting, IF YOU HAVE A FAST PROCESSOR
Review: This is A good game overall, I have had it for a little while and I am not just writing this review the night I got it. I would recommend this game, It is good the items are cools the interactions are cool. But here are some disadvantages.1. You need to have enough memory for this game for it to run at all.
2. You need to have a fast enough, and enough disk space for this game to go faster, then a turtle with all of it's legs broken.
3. People in the down town area can often times get stuck, and is pretty frusterating since you can't move them. But Maxis did exellent apart from those problems (other then problem 3, arent really their fault)

Review: Hot Date looks great! I haven't got the chance to play. But looking at it, it has to be as great as the other expansion packs. I can't wait to get it.

Summary: oh la la
Review: let me tell you about hot date. as far as new objects go, there aren't really a whole bunch of just awesome stuff, of course there is lots of cool shops and stuff, but there is a BIG BUNDLE of new animations, some of it is pretty trashy, like in the love tub you can wash, cuddle, kiss, or play with the other person in the tub, but its kinda funny, anyway downtown rocks, you can buy cloths food and lots of other cool stuff, i tell ya this game is a must for anybody.

Summary: WOW
Review: I have alwaysed been one of the first people in line to get one of the new sim expantion packs always 29.99 but now I look at house party and livin large and i am really mad. This game adds so much more to the sims that the other expantions didn't that i think I got ripped of on the first two. Hot date is a realy fun game and I recomend it for everybody who love the sims. The new downtown is really fun. (as long as you are realy in a good mood) however tdowntown is lacking speed. It would be really good for you to go to a resturant with all your motives really high exept hunger because it takes about 4-6 sim hours to get a table and order and eat (depending on what you order). The game is realy still fun with one more exeption. If you thought it was easy in the first game to get a friend or a lover by talking huging and then kissing WOW are you in troble. The new game makes it almost imposible to get somebody to fall in love with you the first time you see them( you could very easyly do that in the frist games. One of the hardest things to do is to talk. yup in the first game you could almost always bring up the relations ship (slowly) but now there are intrests to talk about and if your date likes something you hate you best change the subject.
But i am talking about most of the negitive things aren't I. I think this game has many more ups than downs and if my first part of my review sway you not to buy this game then read this. the downtown is not as bad as I made it seem. I suggest that you have the first two expantion packs to play this game and make it more exciting. I STRONGLY suggest at lest house party or it will be very hard to bring up you fun motive. I made a danceing place so when my sims are board they can dance. And even though it takes a loooong time to do things like eat in the downtown time does not change when you come back home (you do have a clock that tells you the time but you can't speed up downtown it always goes the same regular speed)and when you get back home you motives will be the same as when you left down town but the time will be that same from when you left your house. Confused yet? Well I would be. My finnal virtict If you liked house party and livin' large you will love this game if you are inpatient then this game may not be for you( and if you all ready have this game think the stupid taxi with a red screen behind it)
But mostly I would have to say buy this game with all the new stuff here you will really want it when maxis releses the final expantion pack The Sims Online

Summary: I thought it would be worth it, but its not
Review: This game is entertaining for the first three days, and then the appeal wears off. It takes a plethora of tedious and miniscule tasks to get one major thing accomplished. Buying this game would be the worst waste of money ever.Although there is 125 new items, you need to build al lthe buildings and areas, and it takes too long to enjoy. Heed this warning and do not buy this game.

Summary: Great as always, but some hardware compatibility issues
Review: This game is as great as all the Sims expansion packs. However, we found it interesting that on the box, CD case, and accompanying installation guide EA states that it supports Win 95/98 only. I'm running Win 98 and could not get it to work. Apparently I have a CD drive incompatibility issue (which includes a HUGE list of CD drives that aren't compatible with the new game, including ALL Plextor drives - see EA's Sims web site for the info....) and could not get it to run on my Win98 system. However, on my husbands Win2K system he was able to load it and it runs flawlessly. Interesting. We're upgrading me to Win2K and believe that will remove the CD drive incompatibility issue. But be prepared -- you may run into some quirks. (...). But if you get it to run...it's a GREAT game!!
