...offer more than any of the previous expansion packs to the best selling PC Game, The Sims. Sim fans had always felt trapped at the fact that you could never take their Sims out of their houses. Well, in a way, you could - by calling up your Sim from another house and inviting them over, but you couldn't control them. You could send them out to work - but you wouldn't be able to see them there. Hot Date, the third expansion pack to the game, (released ...
...and exciting - the ability to call up a cab and take your Sims downtown. And, with The Sims: Vacation planned for UK release in April, it looks like the idea of taking your Sims out of their houses is going to be played on more. I'm not sure why Maxis decided to let Sim fans have this new freedom. It was a welcome, but dramatic change to the way the game works. Maybe it was because they wanted to make up for the cancellation of SimsVille (which was ...

Review of The Sims Hot Date Expansion Pack (PC)

The Sims Hot Date is the new and exciting expansion pack from Maxis/EA Games, following on from the success of The Sims, Sims, Livin’ it up, and Sims House Party. Hot date was released in the UK in November, and according to an assistant in PC world in Derby has sold well, and as I write it is number 12 in the Amazon.co.uk ‘Hot 100’ PC games. I eventually bought via Amazon.co.uk, as they offered one of the best prices around for ...
...may begin! I found the installation of the game was easy, with none of the problems reported by other users (crashes etc.). All I needed to do was to find my Sims House Party disk (easier said than done in our study!), and insert it after first inserting the Hot Date disk. Maxis recommend that if you buy the other expansion packs (House party, Livin’ it up) after Hot Date, then it is best to uninstall all the Sims programmes, and to install ...

...games, none more so than the fantastic Sims. When Maxis first released the Sims I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. Could it get any better than this, I wondered? Well, yes apparently it could, because a range of expansion packs followed in quick succession, each more brilliant than the last. But still I felt something was lacking. Ok, so my Sim could throw wonderful House Parties and choose from a variety of interesting jobs. She had interesting ...
...time. But where was the challenge? Sim men are, on the whole, extremely easy to romance and seduce. Flirt with them a couple of times, give them a backrub, and they’re ready to fall at your feet and declare never ending love. Or so I thought. But then I discovered the Hot Date expansion pack, and all of a sudden my view of Sim men was radically altered. Because in Hot Date they’re not easy at all. In fact, just getting them to talk to you for more ...

...I wrote an op about the PC game, The Sims. I loved the game although it was sad to report that Mr Oompa Loompa had sadly been killed in a fire which engulfed his house and him with it (sniff sniff!), thank you for the condolences. I’m sure he’s in a better place now. But back to the opinion. I looked at my Christmas list a little while ago and thought, what do I want? After much decision making, decided that I shall put down the next ...
...about it… WHAT IS THE IDEA? Well on the original Sims game, you can make or wreck people’s lives. If you want to make your little creations happy, then you’d find them friendship and love among the neighbourhood. Basically, this expansion pack means you and your friend can go ‘downtown’ and as they put it ‘make out’. It’s all done in light humour and it looked hilarious. INSTALLING I have read a ...

...year for Christmas, I purchased the new Sims PC game, "Hot Date," for my daughter. Meredyth is a lover of all the Sims games and can play them for hours at a time. This one looked quite interesting on the Amazon site, so I ordered it for her as soon as it was available. I must admit that it has been one of her very favorite gifts - once we worked out how to install, that is. All of the other Sims games have been relatively easy to install. Not the ...
...reach a certain point during the download (at 95% installation), it would stop and say that we had to install another disk that was nowhere to be found and one that neither Jon, Meredyth, nor I had ever heard of. Meredyth and Jon both attempted to contact Technical Support on the Sims website, only to be disappointed each time. They were only able to reach "Technical Support Chat," who were simply a bunch of fellow Sims players - no technical support ...

* The Game: You put the disk in the drive select a screen size and off you go, first there is the opening movie of two sims shadows kissing in front of the moon (with sound effects) then there is another small movie showing samples of things you can make and do. After that there is a loading screen and then your on to the neighbourhoods, for people who are not familiar with the game, a neighbourhood is a screen with the houses and people you have ...
...the house. There is a new button on the top bar (where most commands are made), resembling a street side, if you press this, you are taken 'Downtown' but only to build and change the shopping/beach/restraunt facilities. If you go to a house on the neighbourhood instead your sim can call a cab and be taken downtown. There is also new furniture/lights/skins/etc. ** Characters: There are a lot of characters in the sims, obviously with your sim you ...

...I had already installed the original, and ‘Livin’ It Up’, and I had to uninstall quite a few computer programmes to make space for the latest addition to the Maxis series. ‘The Sims’ is basically a ‘real life’ simulator. You create families of people, build them a house, and take total and utter control over their little lives. You can send them to work, help them on their way to promotion and when you ...
...major arguments. You get the idea. You’re pretty much playing God. There are several neighbourhoods where you build your houses. You can re-create the cast of ‘Eastenders’ and your version of Albert Square if you really want to. You have complete control (cue evil laugh). There are no gameplay levels as such, but it does become more difficult to build up your Sims’ skills and persuade them to fall in love when they are in ...

The Sims are little people who live in a neighbourhood which you, the player, controls. They interact with each other, build homes, have kids and climb their chosen career ladders with your guidance. Sims Hot Date is an expansion pack which can only be used if you already have Sims installed on your computer. Be warned, it does take up a lot of space. You need 600MB free hard drive space to play. It doesn’t take long to install but you do have ...
...In the original Sims the interactions between characters was limited to inside the houses but Hot Date introduces a whole new downtown area. There are restaurants, parks, shops etc already set up but you are able to design your own completely if you wish. Hot Date also gives you over 40 new one-on-one interactions [including different kisses! – watch out for ‘fiery’, I’ve yet to find a Sim who enjoys that one! There are also five new characters ...

...am a big fan of The Sims and for anyone who is unsure what it is then this bit is for you. Basically The Sims is a game where you get to control these peoples lives, you get the option to choose a ready made family or make your own. You have to get them a house, a job and make friends. You have to buy objects to put in the house to enable them to be happy and live properly. Anyway this add on pack, Hot Date is where you can send you Sims to a downtown ...
...including a cuddle couch (where the Sims can sit and watch telly and cuddle up and kiss!) There is Love Tub where Sims can make out kiss wash each other and cuddle. Picnic baskets that Sims can buy when they are downtown, these are to name but a few. There are new characters and more chances to meet new friends, either going out for dinner with them or just having an ice cream in the park. I have to say this is the best add on pack for The Sims ...

...life and put it on the computer is a good thing. The general idea of the Sims is to make a neighbourhood full of friendly (or in some cases not so friendly) family's where they interract, climb the corprate ladder and make babies. (All of you dirty minded people should know that the stork brings babies). You start off as an unemployed nobody with/without a partner its up too you. I know the prospect of doing dishes does not sound too apealling but ...
...the house (its just a pity girls have to do it for real) You then get a job and work your way up the ladder by making friends and learning different skills, creativity charisma etc things that make you more appealing to the opposite sex. (In some cases miracles do not work). Ok thats the background of the Sims, but hot date is a new kettle of fish. First of all you get new furniture, accessorys and interacctions between characters and the big thing ...

I have just recently bought the add-on for the Sims Hot Date. I was hoping for a few more hours of fun with the old game, but I wasn't really satisfied in the end. What is new? ************* There are several new characters and jobs which are both closely connected with dating and flirting. You get new things to buy and a total new buy-modus. Now the kitchen-equipment is sorted in different categories for example in fridges and cooking-stuff. The ...
...two different aspects: one is the relationship at this very moment and the other is the relationship seen in a longer amount of time. But that wasn't all. Your sims now get a new playground. They can get a cab to go to town and maybe to open a new restaurant, to eat, to have fun, to go flirting or to take out their girlfriends. There are several new actions avaible. It isn't only kissing anymore. Now you can decide wheater you would like to kiss ...
