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.
