The Sims:Hot Date PC for Windows

Pros: New Sims Expansion pack, neat new features
Cons: Slows the computer way down, a lot harder than previous versions

I am a Sim-oholic, I don't deny that. When the new expansion pack came out I had to have it. Since it was about the same time as my birthday, so my husband went to Wal-Mart and bought it for me.

I immediately installed the game and started to...

Pros: Downtown areas, new NPCs, interactions, objects, walls, floors & building materials.
Cons: Did they make it harder… or does it just not work?

Act I
Hot Babe: Bachelor Number One, if I choose you, where would you take me on our date? *giggles*

Bachelor One: Umm, well - on my ideal date, I'd take you for a stroll along the boardwalk during late afternoon....

Pros: More interactions, more objects and the downtown area
Cons: None

I must be a Sim addict because I had to get this new expansion pack the day that it came out and I had been waiting for it to come out for months. I was so excited when I saw the commercial on MTv for this new expansion that I ran out to Staples and...

Pros: More social options, new down town feature
Cons: More challenging, takes longer to build relationships among characters

The third and most recent expansion pack for the hit game The Sims is called Hot Date. The title is appropriate, for this add-on is all about the social lives of your Sims. (To make up for our lack of a social life as we spend all our time playing The...

Pros: Breaks up hanging around the house, adds depth to the game, fun new objects
Cons: Can make your machine run slower...

Being a big fan of The Sims, I could not pass up the chance to own the newest expansion pack (strangely, my mother's maiden name is "Symes", pronounced like "Sims", which is why the game first attracted my attention). I eagerly awaited it's...

Pros: Refining of social interaction and a new downtown area
Cons: Serious users will find many shortfalls

Well, I've been waiting for the Hot Date expansion for The Sims game for a bit and have been playing with it for about a month now. I've found much to enjoy and much that really irks me, also.

As promised you do get a new downtown area for...

Pros: Adds a whole new dimension to an already addictive game
Cons: Slightly buggy, poor documentation.

This is the third Sims expansion pack to hit the shelves (the others being Livin' Large and House Party), and by far the greatest enhancement of game play. One of the greatest frustrations to Sims fans was the fact that the poor Sims families were...

Pros: New interactions, downtown, not too expensive, the most fun expansion pack
Cons: Runs a little slower on computers with less RAM

If you ask me, the newest expansion to the popular game The Sims is one of the best EA Games has developed to date. The Sims Hot Date brings the interactions of the characters into a new realm...dating. And just when I thought that I had pretty much...

Pros: Tons of new possibilities! Fascinating new items, great new interactions!
Cons: Very buggy and shoddy in parts.

I'm an avid Sims fan. I have been from day one. I even know one of the lead programmers for the game and he has commented on some of my articles about it. In the past, I was critical, but still an intense fan. While Hot Date is certainly worth the funds,...

Pros: New & More Realistic Social Interactions, "Downtown" Area Provides More Building, Social, and Wardrobe Opportunities.
Cons: Takes a lifetime to load and save.

The door opens, and in marches my sheepish hubby with a package behind his back. When he shows me what it is, I start squealing with glee, until I realize I have to go to work, and can't play it for another 8 hours.
When my hubby installed "Hot...

Pros: Whoa! Sims are going downtown!
Cons: None really, unless you don't like the original game "The Sims"

The Sims and Sequels (Livin' Large & House Party) have sold millions of copies and entertained us for hours. Many user contributed downloads like new skins, objects, walls, floors etc. made the game even more interesting. But for most of us the game lost...

Pros: Definitely adds onto the Sims Experience by allowing more interaction.
Cons: Buggy, still very buggy.

The Sims from Maxis/EA has broke all records on game play. Enticing members from all video game groups (including those who don't play video games), it has spawned three expansion packs. Livin' Large which introduced more career tracks...

Pros: More interactions, more objects, more fun ways to manipulate the lives of others
Cons: huge memory sucker and buggy. Required much personal patience to learn.

If you've been a fan of the the Sims to date, then this particular expansion pack is the answer to your prayers. While the (original) Sims game lended itself to a certain amount of fun - it did have a tendency to lose its novelty. And even with the...

Pros: Lots of new options and interactions!
Cons: You need a fast computer.

I do have to admit here, I bought and installed House Party and Hot Date the same day, and I previously had Livin' Large installed (on the Mac) so if my comments run together, that's why. :-)

In my humble opinion, Hot Date (the 3rd expansion...

Pros: Downtown, new items, new interactions
Cons: Gameplay problems,limited items for downtown, much more difficult

So you're in control of lives. So YOU have been the GOD of your Sim household.

But you're lonely in your little home, aren't you? You wanna go out and have some fun on those cold, Saturday nights.

Make your dream date come true...
