'''Fountains''' are a type of decorative object available in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]''. Fountains exist either as standalone objects that can be placed anywhere or up against the wall, or as objects that can only be placed on ponds. Some fountains allow Sims to sit on their ledges.{{vgversion|TS2:BV}}{{vgversion|TS3}}{{vgversion|TS4:RGS}}
 
==Fountain pools and jets==
'''Fountain''' is a decorative build mode object introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]''. It can be created on both [[residential lot|residential]] and [[community lot]]s. Fountains made with the fountain tool are essentially unusable [[swimming pool|pools]], with a 'view' interaction in place of the 'swim' interaction.
''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'' added fountain jets as a [[build mode]] feature. Fountains made with the fountain tool are essentially unusable [[swimming pool|pools]], with a 'view' interaction in place of the 'swim' interaction, and can be created on both [[residential lot|residential]] and [[community lot]]s. The fountain tool also contains fountain objects such as water spouts, allowing players to customize their fountains. This allows the fountains to be more flexible than fountains available in buy mode. Unlike pool objects, the spouts can be placed out of the fountain.{{clarify}}

Fountains were later included in a patch, so players without ''Late Night'' could have access to the same functionality provided they had updated their game. The patch also provided curved pools and fountains to players without the expansion.
In ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff]]'', Sims can make a wish and toss a coin into the fountain. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' as well as ''The Sims 4: Romantic Garden Stuff'', Sims can add soap to any fountain as a [[prank]].
 
Some fountains offer special properties. For example, [[Leon's Fountain of Youth]] allows Sims to extend their lifespan by one day or wish for eternal youth. The [[Fountain of Gluteus Maximus]] allows Sims to sit and nap on the ledge, or play in the basin.
With ''[[The Sims 3: Pets|Pets]]'', dogs and cats are able to swim in a fountain.
