Summary: I Already Knew a Lot of This "Advice"
Comment: I've been playing The Sims Hot Date many times since I bought it a month ago. I was in at a computer store and saw this book, and thought, "looks like fun, maybe it'll have great advice!". So I bought it there (I really should have come to Amazon, you won't find a lower price!). I've read a lot of the stuff that looked interesting, and skimmed through some weird charts and tables that you don't need to know about unless you're a total fanatic. I was confused by their list of townies that have unique personalities (i.e. The Romantic, The Flirt, The Wallflower) because I'm not positive that their info was truly correct. The pictures in this book are small and black and white, making the book somewhat dull. What I found stupid in this guide book is that it has the list of all the items you find in the sims and their price. Doesn't Prima (the publisher) know that if we wanted to see all of the items and what they cost, we could just go to objects section of the game and see the exact same info??? Also, just to straighten something out, this book has absolutely nothing to do with everything in the other expansions. It does not give any advice or info on things from House Party and Livin' Large. I just want to warn you because I assumed it would. Overall, I don't think I'll need to refer to this book often. It's probably a good pick for people really new to the Sims games, but not for someone already familiar with the game. I hope you've found my review useful. Once again, if you do want this book, a 12 dollar price is fantastic!

Summary: Informative and well-written
Comment: Following a series of informative Sims Prima guides, this edition for the latest Expansion Pack, Hot Date, is a must-have for all people that own or want to own The Sims: Hot Date. This book covers the original The Sims game and the Hot Date Expansion Pack. A negative? Those of us with all three expansion packs had to buy seperate guides for each of them. It covers Cheat Codes and Quick Start Tips, your Sims' personalities, their moods and motives, autonomy (how they decide what to do), their social interactions, the job/career path, economics, building their houses, objects, and how to make and find new Sim stuff. Once again, BUY THIS BOOK if you want your Sims to succeed.

Summary: Hot Date strategy guide review
Comment: I found the list explaining the new characters and new social interactions very useful. The object list is very basic (original Sims and Hot Date objects only), and you can find things like the cheats on fan sites easily. However, it was also useful in keeping track of which objects were original Maxis objects since I have collected so many fan site objects now! I was, however, somewhat disappointed that no living large objects or house party objects were mentioned in this guide. Then again, it is possible to own hot date without ever having owned living large, SIMS DELUXE, or house party. (Not as much fun though, and if you purchase these expansion packs later, chances are you will have to reinstall your game (be sure to back up your neighborhoods and downloaded custom objects, skins, walls, floors etc. first BEFORE reinstalling). So I recommend to get the prior expansion packs first to avoid the hassle of reinstalling.)
