Maxis, the company that releases those massively popular Sims games has gone and done it again. They have sent Sims fanatics into a flurry with the release of their latest expansion pack: The Sims Hot Date. The game is just what it sounds like: a whole universe of Sims romantic possibility. As if the Sims didn’t get into enough trouble as it was, now they can date themselves into wonderful romantic confusion. Dating in the Sims has always been around. But in the Sims Hot Date, those lovable virtual characters can go Downtown and date the Townies. This was not previously possible in earlier versions of the game. Before, the Sims were restricted to dating only in the same neighborhood. That’s kind of like you and I, only dating people from our own zip code: sure, it can be done, but who really wants to be so restricted? Now, your favorite Sims are unfettered and free. They are single and looking for the next hot date that just might prove their soul mate.

Who are the Townies, and why do they live Downtown? When you have played the Sims long enough, you get used to these various labels and designations. Downtown is simply an area away from the Sims neighborhood. The Townies are simply known as the Townies because they live in town. Makes sense, doesn’t it? How can you bring your Sims characters Downtown? It’s too far for them too walk, so you’ll have to make sure they procure a cab that can take them all the way. You can have your Sims date in groups if you want. You can ask another adult Sims to accompany you downtown for a double date. Or you can make Downtown your fabulous destination by inviting another neighborhood Sims character to come with you Downtown for a date. Or you can prowl the city on your own. You an always have your Sim head downtown solo to explore and possibly make a love connection.

What sort of places should a single guy or gal head to Downtown? There are loads of fun lots to choose from. For instance you can take a hot date to the fancy restaurant, the beach, the park, the quaint little shopping mall, the bars, the boardwalk, or a small diner. Part of the fun of playing the Sims Hot Date expansion pack is that you can create your very own Downtown. You can design it with every dream destination that you want. You can share your favorite Downtown lots and other features with fellow Sims players, and vice versa. The Sims Hot Date does not put any fussy restrictions on how you choose to design and build your Downtown. You are provided with unlimited funds, every architects dream. But that doesn’t mean you get a striking Downtown loaded with amenities and shops for free. No, your Sims will slowly pay for the costs of Downtown over time. Every time they purchase something and pay sales tax, they are paying for the cost of their lovely Downtown. Be forewarned: every time you head downtown, be prepared to spend a pretty penny. Dating is not cheap.

In the Sims Hot Date expansion pack, you will have access to situations that were previously not possible. Sims can choose from a variety of dating styles that range from friendly flirting to aggressive come-ons. The choice is up to you. The Sims Hot Date also elevates the kiss to a whole new level. Sims characters now have access to six new types of kisses. These include a simple peck, a polite kiss, a suave kiss, a romantic kiss, a passionate kiss, and a fiery smacker.
