(I did some extensive testing, and it seems like incapacitating the bouncer in any way does not work. Sims still get a route fail if they try to get past the bouncer door.)

'''Bouncers''' are [[NPC]]s that appear in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]],'' ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]''. They stand in front of entrances to various celebrity driven community lots to keep non-celebrity Sims away. However, there are many techniques that non-celebrity Sims can use to gain access into these places.

Line 22:
Sims can rely on their [[celebrity status]] to get into venues, or they can hack, bribe, or sneak their way past a bouncer. Players cannot direct their Sims to flirt with a bouncer in order to gain entry to a venue, though a high relationship with the bouncer can yield access. Sims can use the [[teleportation pad]] or [[Martial Arts|zeneportation]] to simply teleport past the bouncer. Playable ghosts can simply walk through the wall and avoid the bouncer entirely.
 
Sims may attempt to sneak their way into the club, although they will be reprimanded by the bouncer if they are caught. Bouncers may occasionally leave their post and go inside the club, such as to get a drink; this provides Sims with an excellent opportunity to sneak in without getting caught. Other [[life state]]s may be able to use their abilities to disable the bouncer; [[vampire]]s can hypnotize the bouncer if they are powerful enough, while [[witch]]es and [[fairy|fairies]] can use their magic to distract or drive away the bouncer.
 
Other ways to sneak in without getting caught include asking the bouncer to pose, or using an accomplice to distract the bouncer. Other [[life state]]s may be able to use their abilities to disable the bouncer; [[vampire]]s can hypnotize the bouncer if they are powerful enough, while [[witch]]es and [[fairy|fairies]] can use their magic to distract or drive away the bouncer.
 
The game draws bouncers firstly from the pre-existing pool of homeless Sims in a [[neighborhood]]. Sims are randomly assigned as bouncers unless the player uses a mod.

==The Sims 4: Get Famous==
Bouncers return in ''The Sims 4: Get Famous''. Like previous games, they guard doors to prevent Sims withwho toodo lownot ofmeet a minimum [[Fame (The Sims 4: Get Famous)|fame level]]  from entering a restricted area (the default level they allow is three stars or higher, but this can be changed by the player). A bouncer is hired for each bouncer door that is placed on a lot, allowing for multiple bouncers at one venue. However venue employees (such as bartenders, baristas, marketstall vendors and massage therapists) are able to get past the bouncer, as they need to get to their place of work (which may be behind a bouncer-guarded door).
 
===Getting past bouncers===
Sims who are not famous enough to gain access to a restricted area can try to bribe, convince, or fight bouncers, but all of these interactions have a chance of failing. Depending on what [[content pack]]s the player has installed, there are other ways of getting past them, detailed in the list below:
*If a Sim chooses to bribe a Bouncer, their chances of being admitted depends on how much they are willing to pay. If the amount is insufficient, the Bouncer will take the bribe and deny entry. However, if the Bribe is very rewarding, the Bouncer will most likely accept the offer and let the Sim in. 
* If ''[[Spa Day]]'' is installed, Sims with a high [[wellness]] skill level can teleport past a bouncer door via [[meditation]].
*Sims could also try to convince the Bouncer to be let in. If the Sim and the Bouncer are very good friends, the Bouncer will allow the Sim in without much hesitation.  
* [[Vampire]]s (from ''[[The Sims 4: Vampires|Vampires]]'') can sneak past bouncers if they've learned the "Bat Form" or "Mist Form" [[Vampire powers|powers]], and [[spellcaster]]s (from ''[[Realm of Magic]]'') can make use of the "Transportalate" [[Spells (The Sims 4: Realm of Magic)|spell]].
*If a Sim decides to fight the Bouncer, they must have a very high [[Fitness (skill)|fitness]] skill as bouncers are very aggressive when fighting. If the Sim lacks appropriate fitness skill, the Bouncer will always win. If the Sim manages to beat the Bouncer, they will be able to get past.  
 
Depending on what [[content pack]]s the player has installed, there are other ways of getting past them, detailed in the list below:
*[[Ghost]]s can float through walls to avoid bouncer doors.
* If ''[[Spa Day]]'' is installed, Sims with a high [[wellness]] skill level can teleport past a bouncer door via [[meditation]].
* [[Vampire]]s (from ''[[The Sims 4: Vampires|Vampires]]'') can sneak past bouncers if they've learned the "Bat Form" or "Mist Form" [[Vampire powers|powers]], and [[spellcaster]]s (from ''[[Realm of Magic]]'') can make use of the "Transportalate" [[Spells (The Sims 4: Realm of Magic)|spell]].
*Alternatively, the player can use [[testing cheats]]: Ctrl-click to teleport sims into a bouncer-restricted area.
 
Once inside, Sims may get caught by [[paparazzi]]. Although unknown Sims are unaffected by the consequences of getting caught, lower-star celebrities will be publicly disgraced.
