The Genie is a non-playable character that Sims can summon by cleaning an Antique Lamp or rubbing the Dusty Old Lamp. In all three main games in The Sims series, a Genie can grant various wishes on behalf of the Sim who summoned it, although in the first two games these wishes may turn out to have either positive or negative consequences. In Livin' Large and FreeTime, Genies cannot be freed from their lamps or made playable, and regular Sims cannot become Genies. In The Sims 3: Showtime, however, Genies can become a playable life state, though a Sim still cannot become a Genie without one of the elixirs featured in The Sims 3: Supernatural. If both Supernatural and Showtime are installed, Genies will also appear as one of the life states that can be made in Create a Sim.
