    Practice makes perfect, and EA/Maxis have cooked up a godly tool that’ll get your feet wet in the dating pool without getting your face slapped.

    If you haven’t downloaded the nude patch yet, go and grab it off the Web right now. Hot Date, like most things, is better with a little nudity! [Mar 2002, p.80]

    Hot Date's real additions are its expanded social options and its new downtown area...[It] does an extremely good job of making The Sims a more interesting game.

    It definitely adds more than the two preceding expansion packs, but it’s still a slave to the simplistic mechanics that, for many, start to get old after a few weeks of play. [Jan 2002, p.60]

    Adds some needed worldly interaction into The Sims, which is a welcome addition to the game.

    Hot Date adds an obscene amount of voyeuristic addiction to an already proven immersive experience.

    One of the best and most addictive sim-games available at present, and this expansion pack is definitely better value for your simoleans than any of the other add-ons have been.

    This is a good game and is really fun you can do so much different stuff than on just the original one. I like the sex part.

    By far my favourite expansion of the sims 1 and still miss it to this day. Loved all the romantic interactions between sims.

    Cool... but if you interact too much with the same sex.. you can end up being a bi in the game..

    This game sux! It's impossible to get a date, the sound-effects are too un-realistic (when they kiss it sounds like there having seX).
