Summary: Dont Have It - But Can't Wait!!
Review: Oh man, I have waited forever for Maxis to give the Sim's a chance to leave the house. I have always wondered why there was no town, and no shops. I just can not wait until I can get this. I love it when they come out with something new, cause yes, the old ones get boring after awhile. And when the Sim's can do more actions with each other it's even better! I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!...

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: I have Windows XP and on the game box it says it only runs under Windows 95 or 98. But when I installed it onto my computer, it ran fine.

I got Hot Date as part of the Sims Collection 2 pack - that has The Sims, Livin Large, Hot Date and Vacation all in one pack. It runs with The Sims Deluxe Edition Cd, so no worries.

Onto the game. It's great - it was the first Sims expansion pack to go outside the house. There is a new downtown area, that your Sims can go to by calling for a taxi.

Pros of the game:
1) New objects! There are over 125 new items, and they're all fun. I love furnishing my house and making my own downtown areas, so it's all good.
2) New ways to interact with other Sims. It's much easier to maintain a good relationship with fellow Sims with Hot Date, as it gives you about 20 new ways to interact. First, there was just Kiss, now you can choose how you kiss (Suave, Polite, Peck, Romantic or Passionate). It's the same with Hug (Friendly, Intimate, Romantic or Leap Into Arms), and so on.
3) The downtown area! It's fantastic! You can take your Sims shopping down there, with clothes shops and gift shops. You can buy clothes for yourself, or buy a gift for a friend. You can meet new Non-Playable Characters named Townies, who you can fall in love with (a good way to get lots of Family Friends is to marry a Townie they have about 30!). You can take a date, and go to dinner, and cuddle in the booths. The possibilites are endless.
If I kept going, I'd rave on for hours, so I'll stop here and let you discover it for yourself.

Cons:
1) The only con is that the downtown areas take FOREVER to load, it sits on the red screen with the taxi on it for about two or three minutes. It does this with Vacation too, and it really annoys me.

Apart from the slow loading, this expansion pack is totally worth it. If you're getting bored of the normal Sims, get this and make it fun again!

Summary: Once I got it started...
Review: ~

Our Troubles:

My brother recieved this game for his birthday. At the time we had Windows 2000. However, Sims won't work on 2000. We upgraded to Windows XP, still didn't work. We were getting frustrated when I decided to format the computer. Turns out that Sims is real picky, if you have any Windows 98 platforms, format your computer!!!

About the game:

I like it a lot. It came with House Party, which I enjoy. We have had a lot of fun with our Double Deluxe version and cannot wait to upgrade to Sims 2 and/or buy more expansion packs. The game layout is easy to use, and relatively fast, although installation is a son of a beach.;)
HAVE FUN!!!

Summary: More Fun Squeezed From the Sims
Review: I was excited about "Hot Date" because of the ability to take others to a new downtown area. I soon found out, however, that this aspect of the game is rather disappointing. So far, the downtown area has been slow-moving, with all the people walking around. And eating at a restaurant takes HOURS.

What's worth the extra money is mostly the new social interactions. For instance, there are several different types of kissing: suave, romantic, passionate, peck, on cheek, etc., as well as different ways to breag: boasting, flexing, and primping. You can hug someone intimately, friendly, or leap into their arms. Some of the actions are downright funny to watch.

Remember how you could meet someone, make friends with them, fall in love, and end up with a passionate kiss while your spouse was in the other room - all in one day? Well, socializing has become a little more complex in this game. It's been harder for me to make friends as quickly as before, partly because the Sim neighbors don't seem to be as "easy" as before. But this makes it a bit more challenging, in a good way.

Another nice part of the expansion pack is the new objects, walls, and floors. Also new is the way objects are organized. Now, you can click on "chairs," and then choose if you want dining chairs, sofas, loungers, or other subcategories.

I would recommend buying Hot Date, even if the downtown area is a bit disappointing.

Summary: The best game expansion pack ever!!!
Review: 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!

Summary: Spend money on WOMEN, not silly GAME
Review: Guys, really! If you want to go on a date, fine... get a fine looking woman, and ASK HER OUT! If you want to sit around the house all day desperate, alone, and lonely...buy and play this game religiously!

With the amount of TIME and MONEY you spend on these PATHETIC games, you could be meeting real people, doing real things, and maybe...oh my gosh!...GETTING ***REAL*** WOMEN! LOL!

Summary: Painting the Town Red...
Review: I'll admit it, this was my first expansion pack ever, and because first impressions last longer, I was fascinated by it since I had no other Expansion Pack to compare it to at the time.

The Sims Hot Date is by far, the most creative expansion pack ever, followed by House Party and Superstar. I personally, use it to target Sims and create love triangles, the typical boy meets girl (and the other way around as well).

The Sims Hot Date, by hearsay, is probably desired mainly to "invite" other sims home from a first date or a first time experience of hanging out with that sim. Just as in reality (hopefully), that move is far too quick and "smooth" and eventually the Sim'll just walk away in disgust which'll result in your relationship with them going down.

This expansion pack is probably the first ever to enable travelling to other lots where a lot of relations can be made between other sims. It's really helpful, especially if you've got the House Party expansion pack, and that'd truly be a night to remember, though I don't know whether Townies (non-neighbor sims) by default also arrive at the party, but special invitation i.e. using the phone that one extra time to invite them over'll do the trick.

I recommend the Sims Hot Date, it's pretty different, and I can't imagine my Sim life without it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Expansion Pack!
Review: This was a really good expansion pack! I love to take my Sims downtown. I really like how there are many different types of places to go to, unlike the Vacation EP, which has many places but really only 3 types of places. You also can edit the places you go to! There are also tons of new objects, walls, etc. that you can use in your Sims' homes, too. Your Sims can really get to know eachother well as there are tons of new options.
My suggestions to make it better would be a faster loading time, the option to take more than one other person out, something that would make the Townies get out of the path of the cars, and it also gets kind of annoying that they come back to the house at the same time they left, but all their needs are different.
