Line 7:
'''Fighting''' is the most negative social interaction in all games in [[The Sims series|''The Sims'' series]]. When two [[Sim]]s dislike each other enough, they can start a full on fistfight.
 
When fighting occurs a cartoon-styled cloud of smoke will appear and obscure most of the fighting. Sims with higher [[Bodybody]]{{vgversion|TS}}{{Vgversion|TS2}} or, [[Athletic (skill)|athletic]]{{vgversion|TS3}} or [[Fitness (skill)|fitness]]{{vgversion|TS4}} skill are more likely to win the fight. A [[Police|police officer]] and a [[burglar]] will fight if the police are summoned during a burglary.{{vgversion|TS2}}{{vgversion|TS3}}

In ''[[The Sims]],'' the cloud of smoke will completely obscure the fight. If an adult Sim loses a fight, they may leave the neighborhood forever and cannot be brought back. In the base game, children can also have fights, but they will never leave town if they lose. Their ability to fight was removed in later expansions.
 
If an adult Sim loses a fight, they may leave the neighborhood forever by saying "I'm leaving for good!". Children can also have fights, but they will never leave town if they lose.
 
In ''The Urbz: Sims in the City'', Fight can be chosen regardless of relationship.
Line 25 ⟶ 22:
When a fight breaks out, nearby Sims' reactions to the fight will be based on their personality. Mean Sims will taunt the fighters, nice Sims will watch distressed, and shy Sims will run and hide.<ref group="n">If they are unable to leave the room the fight is in, they will watch with distress, much like a nice Sim.</ref> If the Sim is a parent of one of the fighters, they will watch distressed, even if they are mean; likewise, if the Sim is a child of one of the fighters, they will always run from the room, usually to their [[bed]], and cry or throw a tantrum. Selectable Sims in the area of the fight will have the "Watch Fight" interaction pushed on them. The player can cancel this, but it may be pushed on the Sim again.<ref group="n">If the "Watch Fight" interaction fails to start several times, such as if the Sim in question cannot get into position to watch the fight, it will simply time out, and will not be pushed onto the Sim again. This may result in Sims that simply ignore the fight.</ref> If one Sim cheers for a certain Sim in a fight, he/she is more likely to win. Sims with 6 or more nice points will always watch distressed even if they have a good relationship with one of the fighters.

Beginning with ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'', a fight can trigger [[fury]]. This can also happen in ''The Sims Stories''. If a Sim catches their children fighting, they will lecture the child. After a fight, the Sims involved get a [[memory]] of winning or losing a fight. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', Attack is a Fight social instead of a [[Mean (social type)|Mean social]]. The chances of winning the fight is modified by approximately +5% for each body point the Sim has that the other Sim doesn't, or vice versa.
 
If ''[[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets]]'' is installed, two [[pet]]s can start a fight with each other if their relationship is low enough. Like normal Sim fights, nearby Sims will watch the fight and react differently depending on their personality. It is, however, likely that the pet will run away if they lose a fight against a [[wolf]].

In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', fights can be started by Sims who have a very negative relationship with someone. They can also be started by any sims if the holiday is "Neighborhood Brawl". {{Vgversion|TS4:S}} Like in previous games, the fight is obscured by a cloud of smoke. Sims who lose a fight will become [[dazed]], while Sims who win become [[confident]]. Sims with the [[squeamish]] trait will become [[uncomfortable]] after having a fight. Children can also get into a fight with each other.
 
If a fight is happening near other Sims, they will come to witness it. If a Sim witnesses their friend losing a fight, they become uncomfortable, and become [[happy]] if witness them winning. If the two fighters are fighting for the first time, this can be enough to make the two despise each other. Adults who witness children fighting will become [[angry]], and parents can [[Punishment|punish]] them for doing so.{{Vgversion|TS4:PH}} Pets can also fight if they have a poor relationship; however, there is a chance that the loser runs away.{{Vgversion|TS4:C&D}} If a child or teen gets into a fight, their [[Character_valueCharacter value#Conflict_ResolutionConflict Resolution|conflict resolution]] character value will decrease.{{Vgversion|TS4:PH}}
 
Sims who have a high [[Fitness (skill)|fitness]] skill can practice fighting with other Sims. The animations are mostly the same as with normal fighting, but Sims won't get any moodlets from it.

==Trivia==
*Young adults, adults and elders may fight with each other. In ''The Sims 2'', children may also start fights, but not with older Sims.<ref group="n">It is possible for them to start fights using the [[Game guide:Allmenus cheat|Allmenus cheat]]. No animations will play, although the fight clouds will appear.</ref> In ''The Sims 3'', children may not start fights with young adults or older, but they may fight with teens, and may even win such fights.{{vgversion|TS3}}
*In some versions of  ''The Sims 2'' (confirmed with just ''Nightlife'' and ''Pets''), if a toddler witnesses an affair happen and is furious with an adult because of it, the adult may initiate a fight with them as well. No animations play for either character, although the fight clouds will still appear.
*In ''The Sims 3'', some Sims will laugh at the loser if a fight breaks out,  and Sims with the evil trait will point at the loser and cackle. In addition, grumpy or hot-headed Sims will break out into a rage if a fight starts.
*In ''The Sims 3'', a common misconception is that having high martial arts skill will increase the chance of winning a fight. In fact, it doesn't, and it only matters whether the Sim has a skill in martial arts or not.
*In ''The Sims 3'', another common misconception is that some traits are considered to affect the outcome of a fight, while they're not. These traits are, for example, athletic, lucky, hot-headed, daredevil, and unlucky.
