The Sims: Hot Date Expansion Pack

Summary: A must-have if you already have The Sims
Review: The Sims: Hot Date is an expansion pack is a must-have if you own The Sims. With this pack you get access to a downtown are where you can buy clothes, eat at restaurants, and interact with other Sims called "Townies". You also get more furniture, wallpaper, and appliance choices to decorate your house with. If you are creating a Sim, you'll notice that there are some more head and clothing choices. The best part, however, is that you get more social interactions. In the basic game, for example, you're limited to only kissing another Sim. With the Hot Date expansion pack, you can kiss a Sim in several different ways--kiss, peck, polite, suave, passionate, romantic, and (my favorite, but use with caution--it may risk relationship points if done to the wrong Sim) fiery. Another thing that affects relationship points is that your Sims now have interests. Some might be interested in music, technology, or romance while some may not have any interests at all.

The only bad part, you ask? Going to the downtown area takes forever to load. I'm usually stuck staring at the red screen with a picture of a cab for 5 minutes. Plus, there are a few bugs in the game. Sometimes the "Townies" will stand in the middle of the street and hold up traffic, which is a pain when you're waiting for a cab.

The Sims: Hot Date is a must-have for having even more fun playing The Sims.
