The Sims Hot Date Expansion Pack

Play matchmaker to your Sims and watch the sparks fly or fizzle.  All new downtown neighborhoods help you get your Sims out of the house and into the dating world.  Control your Sims' relationships like never before with over 40 new one-on-one interactions. Get them out of the house and into the all-new downtown area where they'll gossip over a candlelit dinner, buy gifts for their dates or just cruise the strip in hopes of getting lucky.  Will your Sims find true love or be destined to a lifetime membership in the lonely hearts club?

Features:

• Take Your Sims Downtown:  Take your dream date to all-new, fully-customizable environments including a downtown area filled with shops, restaurants and parks. Invite neighbors and friends to meet you at these new locales as well.

The Sims Makin' Magic Expansion Pack

Beware! Your Sims can now harness the supernatural, casting spells with playful or mischievous intentions. With a new magical, carnival-themed location, over 175 new items, and a host of quirky new characters, Makin’ Magic is the largest Sims Expansion Pack ever. New gameplay includes making, gathering, and questing for ingredients to brew magic spell recipes.
