    Is an improvement, and I like the change in interaction options, however not enough new things to explore. Haven't played the sims for a long time and this only rekindled interest for a short amount of time.

    I have all the Sim games every 1, and this is the best and i love it and it is the best and here is a tip, move_objects on is a really cool cheat, you can build out of bounds and destroy all your rubbish. This game deserves 10 out of 10! Ps: if you come back again Hannah D, are you in 7I?

    The best expansion for The Sims yet! Although I swear it costs a little to much.

    An expansion pack that does what it says on the box - expand. True it does not overcome the inherent problems with The Sims' gameplay but hey, it's definitely a humongous leap in the right direction where we get to experience greater nuances, subtleties within the wonderful world of Sims.

Worthwhile game that will just keep going on and on. … Expand

    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).

    I love this game and can play on it for hours non stop, but it can get slightly boring if over-played, and are there any proper cheats except "rosebud" =1000 simoleans.

    The Sims Hot Date, is so addictive once you play for the first time your hooked plus they have awesome websites you can get downloads from and wam your fun is even greater but without all those fancy downloads it is still the greatist game ever created , the sims hot date is the definition of a great time.

    It has awesome gameplay. I've been out off school all week, so i've literally have been playing it all week. It soooo seducive, sorda like a little 8 year-old boy around michael jackson (except in a non-sexual way)

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

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

    It sounds stupid, and in many ways it is, but it's pulled off with so much style and flair it's impossible not to be seduced by its charms.

    By incorporating not only new things to do, but new ways to do them, this add-on raises the level of the whole game, in a manner far beyond that of earlier expansions.
