Gameplay and commentary on The Sims Hot Date, covering random town events. Captured using the AVerMedia Live Gamer HD Hirato: Being able to go to downtown was cool - The biggest problem with Hot Date (also Unleashed, Super Star, and Makin' Magic, is that it simply wasn't fun to actually leave your lot and go to the areas introduced in these expacs.
1) Back in the day, these areas easily had 60s+ loading times and it got worse with every expansion (oh bless modern technology)
2) You could at most enjoy yourself for about 10 minutes before your sim was left utterly miserable and you had to return home.
The only ones I actually liked going to were the areas introduced in Vacation, in large part because you could actually take care of your sim there and could therefor hang around for a lot longer than 10 minutes at a time.

13: 55 Well, if you recall, it was pretty easy for the kitchens to glitch out and your whole dining experience to be ruined or to be stuck in your booth forever. I think it is most likely to minimize errors and loading. However, yes, The Sims 3 did cop out severely but just making restaurants a rabbit hole. Just have the kitchen be a rabbit hole and have the waiter magically come out with food, that should have reduced the probability of error and still allowed for a more involved experience.

I never had any of the expansion packs for the first game because I didn't know they existed. XD By the time I found out, I already had The Sims 2 and I was content without any expansions. I had The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Pets for the PS2 and I had The Sims 2 for the PSP. Now I have The Sims 3 for PC with the Late Night expansion and the High-End Loft Stuff. Though, I sometimes go back to the original Sims game for PC just for nostalgia. I love it. :3

I cannot speak for most of the expansion packs for 2, 3, and 4 because I wasn-t as invested in those games, but from what I have seen, The Hot Date ep was the best in the series. The first time you are able to leave the house, the way they categorized the buy/build catalog, the added social options, this pack added so many features that revolutionized and changed the game.

for it's time the graphics where amazing! when i first bought the game is was all like, OMG THOSE GRAPHICS ARE SO FREAKING REALISTIC! then the sims 2 game out and i tought, THIS COULDN'T BE ANY BETTER! and then the sims 3 camed and they did turned better, but wat i am trying to say is that you should think about the time it was made

im crying with laughter all through your videos man haha these sims 1 ones have been so freakin funny!
its weird i loved hot date, it was one of my favourite expansions ever but sims 2 version was pretty redundant for me and i haven't even got the sims 3 version yet (if ever.

Ha, you sound nearly identical to J. K. Simmons, the Cave Johnson guy from Portal. Throw in the Duke Nukem hilarity and this is quite amusing. I like how you chose to growl at the chick and Duke just tossed her on the ground, -Yeaaah, Duke Nukem. - haha

Sims Hot Date: Whines that SIms 3's Open World has too many rabbit holes in exchange for no loading screens
Sims 4: No Rabbit Holes, Every area is enterable minus jobs and none of them are ever empty. Complains about Loading Screens. LGR is never happy

Right? But hey, it wouldn't be the first time the guys at EA lied. I can't completely bash them because they seem to be creating new content for their expansion packs, like Island Paradise, but it's not exactly what I want in my game.

I believe it wasn't until Unleashed was released where you could go downtown as a group via the phone, though I might be mistaken. I know you can visit Old Town lots and Magic Town lots as either a whole family or alone though
