Movies are a feature for televisions or projection screens that was added in The Sims 2: FreeTime and reapeared in The Sims 4: Movie Hangout Stuff.

The Sims 2: FreeTime
In The Sims 2: FreeTime Movies run for around 30 or 40 minutes of game time, and build fun much quicker than ordinary television channels do. Watching movies also builds enthusiasm for the Film and Literature hobby.

They are split into five categories: spooky, children, comedy, action and drama, each with two watchable clips.

List of movies
Spooky


 * Werewolf: Two lovers are attacked by werewolves on a camping trip. Only the man is bitten, and the woman escapes by distracting him with a stick. The same clip was used in a trailer for The Sims 2: Pets.


 * Cat Lady: Shown in black and white. An old woman is reading a newspaper, not aware that she is being stalked by hundreds of feral cats. The cats attack her and she runs into a nearby telephone booth. She calls a man, presumably her husband, but he is watching TV and ignores the call.

Action


 * Weather Control: A Sim perfects a weather control device. Shots are shown of the weather changing instantly, and eventually a meteor storm hits while the Sim who made the device sits inside reading a newspaper, unaware of the chaos taking place outside. The same clip was used in a trailer for The Sims 2: Seasons.


 * Fetch: Set in Strangetown. A man throws a stick for his dog, and it is chased by many other dogs as well as the llama mascot and some random people including the man who threw the stick. The man picks it up and throws it again.

Comedy


 * Mime Cat: A mime gives a terrible performance and is booed off by the crowd, observed by a stray cat. The cat trains and becomes an excellent mime, while the Sim mime is shown to be crying on a nearby bench.


 * Chicken: Like Fetch, the movie is set in Strangetown. A chicken beats several people at chess. Unlike the other movies, Chicken was made on the console version of The Sims 2.

Drama


 * Pool Table: A teenage Sim beats another Sim at pool, then kisses his girlfriend


 * Bubble Bath: Three Sims go for a makeover. Two makeovers succeed; the other fails. The woman whose makeover failed is seen scrubbing her face with a cloth while the second has a bath. Afterward the third goes out on a date.

Children's


 * Fairies and Family Fun: Both of the children's movies are random shots with no storyline.
