Basketball

Basketball hoops or courts are objects which are available in The Sims base game and in The Sims 2: FreeTime. They are also available for purchase from The Sims 3 Store.

The Sims

Make your house THE fun house in the neighborhood with the SuperDoop Basketball Hoop. No assembly required. Game The Sims Buyable Buy mode Price §650 Type Fun Size 1x3

Basketball in The Sims is played on the SuperDoop Basketball Hoop, which must be placed outside. If Unleashed is installed, Sim Central Park in Old Town has a couple of basketball goals.

While adult Sims don't gain much fun from it, and usually won't stay long, children stay around 35% longer.

The Sims 2: FreeTime

H-O-R-S-E of course Basket Ball Hoop Only parent approved space grade material components are allowed for construction of this durable b-ball court. Summoning the sweetest shots will come naturally with this well crafted device. Game The Sims 2: FreeTime Buyable Buy mode Price §2,750 Type Fun, Skill Size 5x5

Basketball returns in The Sims 2: FreeTime with the H-O-R-S-E of course Basket Ball Hoop. It builds Body skill, increases Sims' fitness, and builds enthusiasm for the Sports hobby. One or two Sims can play, but cannot play an actual game.

Sims will change into athletic wear when playing. If a Sim autonomously decides to shoot hoops, he or she will continue walking to the court even if the player cancels the action.

The object includes both the goal and the court, and it can be placed on flooring or terrain. There are two versions, one with a green court, and one in which the court is invisible. It must be placed outdoors because the top of the goal is higher than the top of a wall. However, it is possible to build an indoor basketball court by first placing the object, then building a two-story (or higher) structure around it.

Trivia

The name is a reference to the variation of basketball known as H-O-R-S-E, and the saying that "a horse is a horse, of course".
