Video Game Reviews of The Sims: Hot Date Expansion Pack
Customer Review: If you thought the Sims was addictive enough...
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I'm completely addicted to the Sims. This expansion pack really added to the fun. I think the best part about it is, for the first time, you get to take your Sims out to "date places," like shopping centers and restaurants. I don't know about your Sims, but mine tend to get a little stir-crazy and cranky when they haven't been out of the house in a while. I'm warning you, though: with this expansion pack, romantic relationships are very difficult to maintain (kinda like in real life!). Enjoy!Customer Review: SIMS IS GREAT
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the game, especially since I'm now rich beyond all dreams, mainly because I kill all my husbands -by drowning them in the pool right after the wedding, when they've brought in the $20,000. This way I can stop working, and buy all the luxury goods I want. When I'm running out of funds, I just woo & marry another (hapless) guy!! I have an entire cemetery in the backyard (nicely tended to by a gardener), and if it gets overcrowded, I sell the extra gravestones for $5.00. Sometimes I'll have a baby with one of my husbands, for that purpose he is allowed to live a little longer.When the kid goes on my nerves, in to the pool....(remove the ladder, and your Sims drowns!! They must be really stupid...)How's that for "real" life??

Summary: 4 Stars
I had the Deluxe Edition for about a year before I decided to buy an expansion. I purchased this one a few months ago because it had the downtown part to it. Finally, a way to get your Sims out of the house and to design restuarants and shops.I admit that this pack can get boring. I mean, how many times do you need to see your Sims go out to eat and buy clothes? However, there are other fun interactions that make your characters even more fun than if left without an expansion pack, especially the relationship/lifetime friendship bars for everyone in the neighborhood.
Knowing about the other packs out there, this is a great starter. After using it for three months, I'm not tired of it, but I do look forward to buying an additional pack.
Customer Review: Update for Windows XP users
Summary: 5 Stars
I almost did not purchase Hot Date because a few reviewers (see list below) reported that Hot Date was not compatible with Windows XP. I had my doubts, but bought the game anyway. I am happy to report that Hot Date installed and plays perfectly well on my computer whose operating system is XP. I do, however, have Sims Deluxe Edition so I can not report that Hot Date will work with the Original Sims or with Sims Double Deluxe Edition on XP, although it is probably safe to assume that if it works with Sims Deluxe it will most likely work with Sims Double Deluxe on XP. Once you install Hot Date you will be required to reinstall Sims Deluxe afterward to play (all of your saved material is not lost). The only catch that I have experienced is that during play, Hot Date can slow up almost to the point where you think it has frozen but it resumes again. This is probably a RAM issue, and this game definitely requires A LOT (128MB is marginal at best) of RAM to run smoothly on XP. So have no fear if you have XP, give Hot Date a try it is definitely worth it. I can't stop laughing at all the ridiculous and funny actions you can put your Sim (and his or her date) through. If you're a bit older than the average Sims player like me, this game is nice way to unwind and get your mind off things (like your REAL job).
