Fun

Sims, like real people, like to cut lose from the daily grind and enjoy themselves once in a while. Music is a good way to increase the Fun rating for many people at once. However, different Sims have more fun in different ways; for example, a Sim with a Playful personality might enjoy watching television or playing computer games, but a Serious Sim would probably rather spend time reading or sitting down to a quiet game of chess.

Even when out of the house, Fun is easy to restore. Downtown and Old Town have plenty of things for Sims to enjoy, such as pool tables, rental shacks and so on. Vacation Island has even more, with carnival games, archery and fishing activities. Magic Town has fun-house rides to go on, and Studio Town has Oxygen Bars and Skydiving machines to use if Fun levels are too low.

In the Sims 3 the fun meter replenishes by itself, albeit slower.
