GS: When we look at Nightlife, we're reminded very much of the Hot Date expansion for the original Sims. Hot Date opened up a whole new world of dating interaction. Will Nightlife do the same? And what kind of new interactions can we look forward to? Are there new kissing moves? New wooing interactions?

TL: It's natural to draw comparisons to Hot Date. It was one of the most popular expansions for the original game. I think that the most important thing it provided was the opportunity to get sims out of the house to experience something new and similar to the lives that we lead. Dating was part of that and Nightlife takes that gameplay to the next level. We introduced a date score and an outing score for time out with friends. These new features are tied to the wants and fears of both your sim and his or her companion. During dates your sim will be driven to fulfill the wants of both sims. Going out will be a whole new way to max out the aspiration bar. There are cool new socials tied to dining and dancing. "Slow Dance" is one of my favorites, and it unlocks new nested socials like "Head on Shoulder" and "Dip Kiss." There are plenty of new ways to heat up your date.
