===Ending a Date===
[[File:Dream date message.png|thumb|The message shown when ending a Dream Date.]]
There are various ways to end a date, intentionally or not. Ending a date before reaching a tier will make a brief date penalty that will drop the date score. This might cause an Okay Date to become a Lame Date.
#'''Timer reaches 0'''. When the timer runs out, the date will automatically end.
#'''Date score hits rock bottom'''. If the date score drops below the Horrible Date score by any means, the date will end.
#'''Ending the date'''. Sims can use the ''End the Date'' interaction to end that current date. The date partner may remain on the lot.
#'''Ask... Do You Want a Ride Home'''? Using this ask interaction will send Sim home and end the date simultaneously.
#'''Going home'''. The same as above, but instead of asking the date partner, Sim chooses to go home when leaving the lot.
#'''Ask... Back to My Place refusal'''. If the date partner rejects the Sim's offer, the date will end instead.
#'''Going on other date or outing'''. Sims cannot have two dates or a date and an [[outing]] at the same time. Going on another date or an outing while a date is still going will cause the current date to end.

Dating returns in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' starting with [[The Sims 3/Patch 22|Patch 22]] or ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]''. A Sim can ask someone to go on a date, which is similar to the [[outing]] scenario. Unlike ''The Sims 2: Nightlife'', there's no time limit on how long a date will occur. Also, no meter is displayed to show how good the date is. The date may end if the Sim does so, or if the date partner has a schedule going or has low needs. Other Sims in the same household cannot have another date or outing if there's a date scenario currently going.
Sims on a date will have a small hearts icon on their thumbnail in the Sim skewer. Players may click the icon to end the date. During a date, Sims may do romantic interactions or activities together. Sometimes, Sims will roll want to watch a movie on theater together. In the end, if the date is great, Sims will get a "Great Date" moodlet, while having a bad date will give "Bad Date" moodlet.
Line 98 ⟶ 100:
#Call a Sim and ask them on a date. This can be done by clicking Sims' thumbnail in the relationship panel as well.
#With the attraction system, Sims will periodically get offered a date from the phone.{{Vgversion|TS3:S}}
==The Sims 4==
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Sims can go on a date when they have a high enough romantic relationship with another Sim. Dates can be started over the phone, or by selecting another Sim and choosing the appropriate option from the Romantic social menu. Starting a date will prompt the player to choose a location for it to take place at, which cannot be a [[residential lot]].
Dates function like other special events, which have a set of randomized tasks to be completed before a timer runs out. Completing a date at one of the three reward levels unlocks a prize and gives a relationship boost between the two dating Sims.
''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]'' reintroduces blind dates. If a Sim has any [[reputation]], regardless if it's good or bad, they have a chance of receiving a call from a stranger or an acquaintance, asking if they can set the Sim up on a date with a friend of theirs.
