Vending machine

A vending machine is an object found in The Sims website, The Sims 2: Apartment Life, The Sims 3: University Life, The Sims Online, and The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs.

The Sims
The Sims did not ship with a vending machine in the base game or any of its expansion packs, but a vending machine by the name Disaster Fizz Automated Vendor was available at the official website. Sims can purchase drinks from the machine, which will provide a small Energy boost while simultaneously decreasing Bladder. If the Sim has a low Neat score, they will burp loudly after drinking.

Four types of drinks are available. They all have the same effect and price.
 * Tornado Fizz
 * Volcano Fizz
 * Earthquake Fizz
 * Meteor Fizz

Occasionally, the vending machine would become "stuck" while a Sim was using it. Sims with a low Nice score will automatically kick the machine, and the player can manually direct Sims to kick a stuck machine. This will not damage the machine, and the machine will not fall on the Sim. After a few kicks, the machine will eventually dispense a drink, and the Sim will drink as usual.

As TheSims.com has been shut down, the Disaster Fizz Automated Vendor can be downloaded here.

Vending machines were reintroduced in The Sims 3: University Life and could be placed on both residential and community lots. Unlike previous games, all sales of sodas and candies are free.
