'''''The Sims: Hot Date''''', released on November 14, 2001, is the third [[expansion pack]] for ''[[The Sims]]''. It introduced [[community lot]]s to the series, making it the first instance where players are able to play their Sims on lots other than the Sim's home lot. Its theme and many of its features, including the addition of a [[Downtown (The Sims)|Downtown]] sub-neighborhood, were reimplemented in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'', the second expansion pack for the sequel game ''[[The Sims 2]]''. Some elements of ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out]]'' also feature dating mechanics.
==Features==
===New neighborhood===
* '''[[Downtown (The Sims)|Downtown]]''': Sims can travel there via [[Taxicab]] either alone, or with a [[dating|date]]
===New NPCs===
* '''[[Miss Crumplebottom]]''': This old woman will poke and smack Sims with her purse when they perform romantic interactions in Downtown.
* '''[[Townie]]s''': Non-playable residents of [[Downtown (The Sims)|Downtown]]. They can be married and made playable, but beware the [[Townie#Issues caused by Townies in The Sims|Urban Renewal Loop]].
* '''[[Waiter]]s and waitresses''': Serve [[food]] in Downtown [[restaurant]]s.
* '''Minstrel''': Strolls around expensive restaurants playing the guitar for diners.
* '''[[Claire the Bear]]''': Will come to Sims' houses and raid the trash can.
===New objects===
* The Niagara Love Tub: A heart-shaped [[hot tub]] that Sims can [[WooHoo|"play"]] in.
* [[Laguna Vista Instant Pond|Fish pond]].
* Cuddle Couch.
===Other new features===
* '''[[Interactions]]''': Adds more than 40 new interactions to make Sim dates better, and a "three strikes and you're out" system, so if an interaction is repeated more than twice in the space of a few hours, it will be rejected. Also gives more options when using certain objects.
* '''[[Relationship]]s''': Introduced lifetime relationship bars.
* '''[[Interests]]''': Adds seven new interests; Exercise, Food, Parties, Style, Hollywood, Technology, and Romance.
* '''[[Soundtrack Music]]''': Romantic jazz songs composed by Jerry Martin and Kirk Casey.
* '''Sub-Categories in [[Buy Mode]]''': Redesigned buy mode for easier object cataloging.
* '''Auto-Lights''': Rather than manually turning on/off lights, lights will automatically turn on/off depending on if there is a Sim in the room, removing the ability to turn on/off lights (with a few exceptions for certain lights).
==Trivia==
* ''Hot Date'' is the first time ever in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]] that Sims can visit locations other than their own home, introducing the concept of [[community lot]]s to the series.
* It also marks the first time that shops, parks and restaurants are featured in the game.
