Snake charming

Snake charming is an activity in the The Sims: Makin' Magic and The Sims 3: World Adventures.

The Sims
In The Sims: Makin' Magic, on some of the Magic Town lots, Nagganaste the snake charmer would let Sims try to charm his snake and earn MagiCoins, but if their energy is low, they may fall asleep in the process.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3: World Adventures, Sims can purchase a Snake Charming Basket while on vacation in Al Simhara. When they try to charm the snake, a Sim can be bitten by it either in the face or hand. If a Sim is a skilled enough snake charmer, they can purchase a king cobra and reduce the chance to get bit by it. Sims who have been cursed by mummies can have the curse lifted by kissing a snake. If a snake charmer has gotten the snake to do perform at least once, they can then can charm snakes into people on that lot's clothes! The affected Sim will jump around as if they are on fire, and when the charming stops they will immediately go to argue with the offending charmer. Also, for some reason, sometimes a mysterious Mr. Gnome or Laundry gnome will pop out of the basket for a second or two before going back inside the basket.
