}}'''Computers''' are electronic objects in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. Computers have appeared in every Sims game except for ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway]]'', ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]''. Their uses differ greatly from game to game, though in all games they are used to look for [[career|jobs]] and satisfying the [[Fun]] [[motive]] by playing video games.

==The Sims 4==
''[[The Sims 4]]'' has desktops and laptops like previous games, but it also now has tablets. Unlike the former two types of computers, tablets don't require a desk or table to be used. Sims can use them sitting or standing. Desktops and laptops can be placed on desks, dining tables and island counters. To use a computer placed on a desk or a dining table, a desk chair or a dining chair should be slotted in front of it. Likewise, to use a computer on an island counter, a bar stool must be slotted in front of it.
Laptops and tablets are portable, so Sims can put them in their inventories and take them anywhere. As of [[The Sims 4/Patch 88|patch 88]], computers have a locking/unlocking interface similar to [[door]]s to prevent certain Sims from using them.

* The default operating system running on computers in ''The Sims 2'' appears to resemble Windows XP, possibly because the game was released in 2004. The operating system is the same for all computers in the game. The operating systems on the computers and their screens can be changed using SimPE.
[[File:28-01-2018_14-30-06_-_Copie.png|thumb|A computer's BSOD screen in ''The Sims 4''.]]
* The computers in ''The Sims 2'' also seem to have a "BSOD" screen, found in SimPE. BSOD stands for Blue Screen of Death, which can occur as the result of a critical error in the Windows operating system. Though the BSOD screen does exist in the game, it isn't used. In ''The Sims 4'', when a computer breaks, it will have the BSOD screen from Windows XP/Vista/7 with the text in Simlish: "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage" with "to your computer" omitted.
* While ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'' takes place in a modern city setting, computers do not appear in the game. They do, however, appear in the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS versions of ''The Urbz''.
* In ''The Sims 3'' and [[The Sims 3 (console)|''The Sims 3'' for consoles]], if a Sim uses a computer while visiting someone's house, the player will get a message saying "'''''Sim's name'' is behaving inappropriately! If he/she continues, I will have to ask him/her to leave.'''" However, using a laptop, such as the Landgraab Industries laptop included in ''The Sims 3'', will not cause the message about inappropriate behavior to appear.
Line 815 ⟶ 903:
* ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway]]'', ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'', and ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' do not feature computers, as they take place in an island or medieval setting.
* In [[The Sims 3 (console)|''The Sims 3'' for consoles]], a stylish wooden laptop called the Anachronism VCT can be obtained via the challenge shop. It will then be available for 4,500 simoleons.
* Children in ''[[The Sims 2]]
* In ''The Sims 3'', when a Sim starts up a computer, the start-up sound is the exact same sound heard after completing a mission from ''The Sims Bustin' Out
