Default Looking for first Hot Date patch. (The broken one)
I'm reaching out here to see if anyone might have or know a location I can retrieve the first Hot Date patch. I've managed to only track down one mirror (TheSimsResource.com ), but it was removed from there and the official site too quickly for archive.org to pick up.

The only things I know about it is that it was named 'HotDatePatch.exe' and was slightly smaller than the 2.0 patch being roughly 3.4Mb. There was only a US release so the odds of finding it on any non-US websites is close to none and unfortunately news spread quickly how bugged it was so it is very difficult to find anything other than people complaining about it on groups.google.com.

I have no idea if this is the correct one, it's entitled HDPatch.exe and was in my folder of Sims 1 patches.

The Sims Wiki has a Hot Date patch, but it's probably the non-bugged one.

Just out of curiosity, can we ask why you want it?

I've made some mods for The Sims 1 -- yes, The Sims ONE :-) -- which you can find at http://corylea.com/Sims1ModsByCorylea.html

I'm working on a complete archive of all sims.com downloads that's fairly close to complete. Yeah, most locations right now are the 2.0 patch which has the filename HDPatch.exe and has some region variations such as HDPatch_Asia.exe, etc...
