As I say with all Sims expansion packs so far.. this one is GREAT! It's a fun addition, full of new stuff, new interactions.. everything your Sim needs to get the apple of his eye to gaze upon him with adoration.With this expansion, you get a downtown area to go to. The downtown is full of shops and restaurants your Sims can visit to have a good time. In the shops, you can try on and buy new pajamas or evening wear for your Sim (or his/her date!)! ANd the coolest thing is that if you buy new PJs, your Sim will be wearing them next time he/she slips in to bed. :D Also, buying new clothes for a date reallly impresses them. Sims are very materialistic creatures.
Also in the shops you can buy chocolate, flowers, teddy bears and jewelry and give them to your significant other as a present - which is sure to gain brownie points. Like I said.. Sims love stuff! There are also magazine racks where you can buy magazines -> these have the added benefit of helping your Sim gain new interests. So if your Sim beauty is trying to impress a certain someone with her sports knowledge, reading the magazine can help!
You also get your choice of fine restaurants.. anywhere from a greasy diner type to fine dining with mood music courtesy of a pianist. While eating, there are tons of new interactions - including my favorite: Cuddle! Plus, while your Sims are cuddling up in a booth they can take it a step farther if they're daring and give their sweetheart a smooch (or maybe an all-out makeout session?). Just watch out for the old crone...she frowns heavily upon public displays of affection.
There are some new items for at home too - including the cream of the crop - a love bed! Your Sims can have a little fun in the heart-shaped love bed, but beware the consequences (hint hint accidental baby hint hint).
This is one of my favorite expansion packs - I always enjoyed the relationship aspect of my Sims.. getting one Sim to fall in love with another. It's the reason I play the game! I highly recommend this expansion pack - you won't regret it. And that nerdy Sim who needs a little boost to his love life will thank you as well!

I would not recommend this game for anyone who has below a 500 mhz Pentium 2 or Duron processor, especially if you download fan skins and objects a lot. (The more non-official stuff you put in your game, the more memory and/or processor power you will require, and the longer your game will take to load.) When I had this game on my old 500 mhz processor, I had about 1 gig of fan stuff in my downloads directory, it took half hour to load, and animation was choppy when downtown got crowded. (If you do use custom downloads, I strongly recommend to back them up before installing ANY new Sims expansion pack. That way, if you have to reinstall from scratch, you can reinstall your custom downloads.) But if you have a newer computer or are not using custom downloads, the game runs great and is lots of fun. (Once I got my new (faster!) computer, the game ran so much better and I never had anymore trouble with crashes or slow-downs when downtown.) If you liked the lovebed from Living Large or Sims Deluxe, you'll love the new interactions and relationship options in Hot Date.
