'''Curfew''' is a feature in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Parenthood]]'' that is given to [[child]]ren and [[teen]]agers to remind them that they need to go home.

[[File:Teen curfew notification TS3.png|thumb|The notification that appears one hour before the teen curfew begins.]]
In ''The Sims 3'', a child's curfew is 10:00 PM and a teen's is 11:00 PM. Curfew can't be disabled in any legitimate way, but it does not  apply if the child or teen is accompanied by a young adult, adult, or elder. This allows objects such as [[Tent#The Sims 3|tents]] to be used.
 
Teens will be brought home by the [[police]] if they stay out past their curfew. If children stay out past their curfew, they will not be brought home by the police; instead, they will automatically go home or to the nearest adult family member. This action cannot be canceled.

When a teenager is out during curfew, it gives the pertaining [[moodlet]] until a police officer catches the Sim or the teen goes home. When he is caught, he cannot run away from the officer (unless using the ''[[testingcheatsenabled]] true'' cheat and deleting the officer, '''Windows and Mac OS X''' only) and the Sim gets a negative moodlet and a scolding from an adult (that is able to be canceled) on the home lot.

==The Sims 4: Parenthood==
In ''[[The Sims 4: Parenthood]]'', parents can choose when a family's curfew begins on the [[bulletin board]], with the available options being 7:00 PM, 9:00 PM, or 11:00 PM. On the bulletin board is a clock that will change its color depending on how close the curfew time is. Yellow indicates that children and teens are clear from curfew, orange indicates that it's almost curfew, and red meaning that it's past curfew. Curfew lasts until 6:00 AM the next day. Adults can also completely remove curfew, but cannot do so when it's in effect.
 
If a child or teen is not at their home lot around an20 hourminutes before the curfew starts, one of their caregivers will callsend them a text to come back home. The child can ignore this warning without any consequences, unless the player does so.
 
If a Sim breaks curfew, their responsibility [[character value]] will gradually decrease. Their social interactions also become stealthy, though there is no change in gameplay. If the Sim gets caught, the parent will have the choice on if, when, and how to confront the violator. There are no police NPCs to take Sims back home.
 
== Trivia ==
 
*In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 4]]'' (without the ''Parenthood'' game pack), and ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', [[teenager|teens]] and [[children]] do not have a curfew and there were no time limits for how long they could be on community lots alone.
*There's a glitch in ''[[Parenthood]]'' where there's a chance that a child's pet may somehow call them to remind them about curfew starting.
**This might be due to ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' handling [[time]] in a different manner to ''[[The Sims 3]]''. Time on the home lot pauses in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', making it difficult to accurately draw up a curfew. However, time passes on all lots in ''The Sims 3''.
*Individual curfew times cannot be set for different children
*In ''The Sims 3'', children and teens caught violating curfew will [[Punishment#Grounding|be grounded]] if ''[[Generations]]'' is installed.
