'''Game consoles''' are objects in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]''. Sims can use them to play [[video games]], which in turn increases their [[fun]] (unless they have the [[Technophobe]] trait{{Vgversion|TS3}}).

Home '''video games''' are objects in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. They give [[fun]] to the Sims who use them, unless they have the [[Technophobe]] trait.{{Vgversion|TS3}} The SimLife Goggles, introduced in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', can be used for many other things, combined with cheats and/or mods. It's also the most expensive video game, and refers to "[[Wikipedia:virtual reality|virtual reality]]".

Line 43 ⟶ 46:
In ''The Sims 2'', there is a basic video game console, the '''Maxis™ Game Simulator''', which can be purchased from [[buy mode]]. When placed next to a [[Television#The Sims 2|TV]], it allows one or two Sims to play. If two Sims play, they will not build [[relationship]] with each other, but each will gain [[Social]], and may taunt each other as they play. Some games will use a different display when two Sims play. The video game console can break, though the chance of this happening appears to be small.
 
In the base game, ''SSX 3'' iscomes ready to play andwithout any additional purchases. Other games (such as ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'' and ''SimCity 4 Rush Hour'') can be bought from video game [[display rack|racks]] on [[community lot]]s. These three titles can be seen if the player zooms in on a rack. ''[[FreeTime]]'' adds ''[[MySims]]'',four ''FIFAnew 08'',additional ''Commandvideo and Conquer: Tiberium Wars'', and ''Spore''games to video game racks., Itas alsowell addsas a''[[The freestandingSims video3]]'' gameif rackthe whichplayer displaysopens those[[Rod games.Humble]]'s but is otherwise identical to the base-game freestanding rackgift. All games, including those just bought, are available on any [[Computer#The Sims 2|computer]] or game console in the household. When a Sim visits a [[community lot]] that has a computer or video game console, all games which are available on the Sim's home lot will be available.
 
SSX 3 may become unavailable after another game is purchased. While it cannot be purchased from a rack, buying a video game console or computer should make it available again. It is not necessary to keep a video game console boughtor computer in possession for this purpose.
 
[[Personality#Qualities|Sloppy]] Sims may fail to put the controller away when they are finished playing. A Sim can be told to put the controllers away by clicking on the game console and selecting "Put Away Controllers". Players should note that the controllers may be seen as disposable. When this happens, the controllers will become clickable, and "Dispose" maywill appear when clicking on a controller. AtThis timesdoes not affect Sims' ability to use the game console, but the only way to return the controllers to not being seen as disposable is to purchase a new console. If the controllers are seen as disposable, Sims, particularly Neat Sims, may autonomously attempt to Dispose of a controller. WhenIf thisa happensSim starts to dispose of a controller, the onlyplayer solutioncan issave the controller by canceling the Dispose action before the Sim starts to purchaseput the controller in a newtrash consolecan or trash compactor.
 
If ''[[The Sims 2: Freetime|FreeTime]]'' is installed, playing with the game simulator will raise [[Enthusiasm]] for the [[games]] [[hobby]].
In ''FreeTime'', [[Rod Humble]] will deliver a package to households the first time they're loaded. The package contains a computer which has a preview of ''[[The Sims 3]]'' that is only available by opening the box that computer comes in. The game features walking on the street, changing the shoes of a Sim, and recoloring furniture, as well as an excerpt from the "BoSIM Nova" song in [[List of songs in The Sims|''The Sims'']].

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Simsincludes cana playbasic videogame gamesconsole with:and anyVR [[computer]], the Maxoid Simulator 2 1/2, Console 7, GUGA Joytoy 3, ExoEdge Gaming System by ReliableWare or the SimLife Gogglesset. The SimLife Goggles increase fun rapidly and cause many [[moodlets]]. On a computer or video game console, as with [[computers]] Sims can be seen playing ''Burnout Paradise'', ''Skate'', "FIFA" (where Arsenal are a team on screen) and ''Madden NFL''. If ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' is installed, Sims can also be seen playing "Sim Animals: Africa."
 
The fun gain rate of the video games depends on the TV set. The higher the fun rating a TV has, the faster the fun need will increase.
Line 88 ⟶ 76:
The Console 7 and GUGA JoyToy 3 are added with ''[[The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff]].'' They have more games, better graphics, and are more expensive. ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' adds the ExoEdge Gaming System by ReliableWare.
 
The consoles introduced in subsequent expansion packs are a reference to the [[wikipedia:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]]  (due to its lack of highly acclaimed first party games on launch), the [[wikipedia:Xbox 360|Xbox 360]] (due to the number of AAA violent games) and the [[wikipedia:Wii|Wii]] (peripheral controls).
 
The SimLife Goggles, a [[wikipedia:Virtual reality|virtual reality]] headset, can be used for many things other than gaming, when combined with cheats and/or mods.
