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, and will take turns making baskets from different angles, 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 either placing the object first, then building a two-story (or higher) structure around it, or by using the moveobjects cheat.

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".

The Sims 4: City Living

This section is in need of additional information. You can help The Sims Wiki by expanding this section.

Basketball hoops were reintroduced with the City Living expansion pack. Playing basketball provides a boost in fun, but reduces hygiene. It builds the athletic skill.

Sims can choose to practice shooting, practice dunks, practice dribbling, shootaround, or "Dream Big". Sims can also challenge another Sim to a dunk or shootout contest.

Winning a basketball game will give Sims the happy emotion. However, Sims will get angry if they lose a basketball game.
