Bowling

Bowling is an activity in The Sims 2: Nightlife and The Sims 3: University Life.

The Sims 2: Nightlife
Bowling alleys are objects introduced in The Sims 2: Nightlife. Sims can play solo or in groups. They may bowl autonomously, and may autonomously join a group. Sims with higher body skill bowl better. Bowling builds body skill, but in practice, the length of a bowling alley tends to make bowling a community lot activity.

During a game, a Sim will bowl 10 times, matching the standard 10 frames of a real-life game. Sims who are waiting to bowl will use any nearby chairs, and will socialize while waiting their turn.

If The Sims 2: Freetime is installed, playing bowling will raise Enthusiasm for the Games hobby.

The Sims 3: University Life
Bowling returned in The Sims 3: University Life.
