Decoration: Difference between revisions

Most of these objects improve the [[environment]] in varying degrees; more expensive items usually have a higher rating. They usually lack any interaction apart from "View" and "View many". In addition, some decorative objects have useful functions. For example, the [[scarecrow]] in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'' can deter [[Gardening#The Sims|garden]] pests, and the [[lightning rod]] in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' reduces the chance that objects (and Sims) on a lot will be struck by [[lightning]]. Most decorative objects, however, cannot be interacted with other than simply being viewed by Sims. For example, while Sims must water indoor plants in ''[[The Sims]]'', this requirement is not carried forward to later games, and thus indoor plants have no additional interactions. [[Mirror]]s also offer different interactions, especially in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and later games.

From ''The Sims 2'' onwards, decorations are available for placement in the neighborhood/world view. These typically range from birds, flora, buildings, statues, monuments, clouds, rainbows, and even trains and aircraft. Decorations cannot be placed on top of lots or roads. They are typically purely cosmetic and cannot be interacted with by Sims.

}}This objects object functions similarly to a [[Fireplace]]. Sims can turn it on, which emits heat and warm upswarms up the room temperature. Sims can "Warm Self".

Decorations in ''The Sims 3'' function much like previous games. They're categorized by plants, wall decorations, [[mirror]]s, curtains and blinds, rugs, roof decorations, sculptures and other.
