Computer

Computers are objects in The Sims, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. In the first two games, all the computers are desktops, but The Sims 3 has the first laptop.

Functions in The Sims 2
Some of the computer functions in The Sims 2 are similar to the phone functions in The Sims. The uses of a computer have been greatly expanded, as they could previously only be used for gaming and finding jobs.

Sims without computers cannot be emailed, and will not be available for chatting. All Townies are considered to have computers, and young adults at college are considered to have access to computers on campus community lots.

Players should note that custom computers may not have options from some expansion packs.

Functions in The Sims 3
The features of a computer have again been changed. Now, if a computer doesn't have any chess feature, it means it is the cheapest computer model.
