Bowling

Bowling is an activity in The Sims 2: Nightlife, The Sims 3: University Life, and The Sims 4: Bowling Night Stuff.

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. If The Sims 2: Freetime is installed, it also raises enthusiasm for the Games hobby. In practice, however, 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.

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

The Sims 4: Bowling Night Stuff
Bowling returned in The Sims 4: Bowling Night Stuff. Bowling alley can be used by children, teens, young adults, adults and elders.

Bowling strikes will make sim playful, however Sims will get angry if they get too many gutter balls.
