Flamingo

Flamingos, like llamas, are a recurring motif in The Sims series. In all three games, plastic lawn flamingos appear as cheap outdoor decorations. Neon flamingos appear in The Sims and The Sims 2. In The Sims, they appear as neon flamingo wall lamps that were originally used to promote the defunct SimCity Flamingos hockey team. In The Sims 2, the neon flamingo appears as a decorative wall hanging. In The Sims 3 the flamingo again appears as a lawn decoration, coming in a variety of colors. You can also download the Neon Flamingo in The Sims 3 from the store for free in "The Sims Strike Back" set. Sims often kick over the flamingo, and sometimes it will get stolen.

Pink Flamingo
"Are you bothered by nuisance tropical falamingos soiling your front yard? Or does your lot just need some decoration? Either way you can't go wrong with a pink flamingo decoy. The high gloss finish and metal legs act as a deterrent to real flamingo, while simultaneously advertising the light-hearted and fun-loving spirit of the home owner."

Neon Flamingo Sign
"While neon is back, the SimCity Flamingos hockey franchise is never coming back. Hundreds of these pink neon signs appeared around the city in a vain attempt to increase sagging attendance and ticket sales. However, some prudent citizens 'saw the light' and saved the signs after the team went belly-up. Highly collectible, the Flamingos sign is now proudly displayed in many clubs, frat houses and homes."

Neon Flamingo
"Nothing says 'Tacky Miami Tourist Trap' like your Sim's very own neon flamingo! For best results, combine with pastel suits, 80's music, and those little cocktail umbrellas for your Sim's drinks. (Note: Not for kicking.)" Category: Lighting - Wall Lamps
