I know very little about the sims.. But I do know that Hot Date is an expansion pack and requires the sims or one of the earlier releases to install. What image format was it in??

Hi, the file was hotdate.exe
out of that was some folder's a sims.exe, simscd.ico, start.exe, 00000001.tmp, 00000002.tmp, autorun.
I just burn all the files to a cdrom and it autostart and the instal starts i put in the reg. number that also was in the exe file and type in the folder c:\sims\..... ok and then it ask for the data1.cab (i found it on one of the other sim games cd) then ask for data3.cab i cant find that one, i have ALL the other games on original cd's (the sims, livin it up and house party)

Sometimes when a CD is not read or written correctly that uses install shield it will ask for datax.cab files that do not exist.. There may simply be no data3.cab file.

I think the extracted file you downloaded did not have the complete set of files required for hotdate. I haven't got that game but I do have House Party which has data1.cab & data2.cab files. data2.cab is pretty big so maybe whoever created the archive split it to make downloading easier.

I don't think CDRwin will help as the source download is missing this file. I had a search in Google & it seems that this is a common problem with Hotdate obtained from a certain P2P network. In other words I think you have an incomplete copy of the program.
