'''Environment''' (in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims Stories]]''), also known as '''Room''' (in ''[[The Sims]]'' and console games of ''[[The Sims 2 (console)|The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Pets (console)|The Sims 2 Pets]]''), is an often overlooked [[motive]] that determines how happy a Sim is with the environment around him or her. It is a combined rating that analyzes the design and content of the room that the Sim is currently standing in. Different factors can affect this motive; for example, Sims don't like small rooms, or rooms with not enough light or windows, nor do they like dead fish in the aquarium, dead plants, walls with no texture on them, foundations with no floor texture on them, dirty plates, puddles, ash piles, or dirty or broken objects. Certain purchases will improve the room rating, such as expensive fireplaces, sculptures, landscaping, or paintings.
 
Line 23 ⟶ 22:
In ''The Sims 2'', it is renamed environment, and does not appear until a Sim becomes a [[teen]] (though strangely, in ''The Sims 2'', babies have the environment motive when their motives are viewed with [[testingcheatsenabled]] enabled). In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', environment is replaced with scratch (for [[cat]]s) and chew (for [[dog]]s). [[PlantSim]]s{{vgversion|TS2:S}} do not have an environment motive.
 
If a Sim wakes up to an alarm clock,  or  noise  caused  by  a  neighbor  through  a  shared  wall,{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}  their environment bar will become completely red, until the noise is gone. If they can't, their mood will drastically decrease, but it quickly recovers once they finally turn it off. An accident or fire causing Sims to panic will also drain all of their environment bar.
 
If there are too many plates of spoiled food around a Sim, and a Sim's environment bar is low, he or she may [[Death|die]] by flies.
 
Broken objects, dirty objects, trash, dirty dishes, spoiled food, dimness  and puddles also decrease a Sim's environment need.
 
Since it depends on a Sim's surroundings, environment is not affected by the maxmotives cheat, or by [[motive-affecting items]].

==The Sims 3 and later games==
The environment need has been removed in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. In ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', objects still have an environment rating, and Sims who are standing in a room with a high environment rating will get a "Decorated" or "Nicely Decorated" moodlet. Sims in a room with trash, puddles, spoiled food, and dirty objects will get the "Dirty Surroundings", "Filthy Surroundings" or "Vile Surroundings" moodlets based on how dirty the room is.

In ''The Sims 4'', decorative objects provide a moodlet that gives the Sims inside a happy moodlet, and multiple decorations stack the moodlets and make the Sims happier. Conversely, spoiled food, puddles, trash, and damaged items give nearby Sims uncomfortable moodlets.
 
In [[The Sims 4/Patch 95|patch 95]] of ''The Sims 4'', all architectural elements such as wall patterns, floor patterns, fences, and columns will have impact on environment either positive or negative. This feature can be disabled in the gameplay option menu.
