Comfort: Difference between revisions

'''Comfort''' is a [[motive]] in ''[[The Sims]],'' ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and [[The Sims Stories|''The Sims Stories'']]. It indicates their physical comfort and can be satisfied by having the [[Sim]] sit or lie down. There is no comfort in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''The Sims Medieval''. Instead, working out and furniture affect Sims through [[moodlets]].

Comfort was removed in ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'' and later ''The Sims 3'' and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]''.

If a Sim has been standing up for too long, his or her Comfort meter will drop. Though it is not as important as the [[hunger]] meter, Sims who become uncomfortable will become grumpy and irritable. Sitting down and relaxing is a quick and easy way of replenishing the Comfort meter, as is going to bed. Taking [[Bathtub|baths]] and [[hot tubbingtub]]bing will also improve comfort. Even if a Sim is reading, watching television, or playing the piano, their comfort level will rise as long as they are sitting down. Of course, different chairs, beds and baths will increase the Comfort level at different rates; for example, the Werkbunnst All Purpose Chair{{Vgversion|TS}} isn’t about to raise comfort levels any time soon.

In places such as [[Downtown (The Sims: Hot Date)|Downtown]] and [[Old Town]], there are benches for Sims to sit down and relax, but they aren't exactly comfortable. There will often be more comfortable chairs or sofas for them to sit on, but even then, getting Sims in ''The Sims'' to sit for any length of time is easier said than done. This is somewhat improved in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', as Sims are more likely to sit autonomously when Comfort is down, and to remain sitting long enough to get some back.

Bathtubs in ''The Sims 2'' allow Sims to take bubble baths, which increase comfort more than regular baths. Sims can also take bubble baths in ''The Sims 3'', but must first buy bubble bath. [[Massages]] in ''[[The Sims: Superstar]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' are another way Sims get comfortable.
