''The Sims'' introduced a basic virtual reality set that Sims can use. Sims will pick up the device, wear it over their eyes, and "explore" the virtual world, usually by waving or moving their arms. When finished, Sims will replace the device in its original location.
 
All Sims, including [[child]]ren, can use the device. While they will move around on the spot, they will not move from the spot they are standing on.

}}
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 their [[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. If a Sim starts to dispose of a controller, the player can save the controller by canceling the Dispose action before the Sim starts to put the controller in a trash can 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 video includes walking on the street, changing the shoes of a Sim and recoloring furniture.

{{Infobox object
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Sims can play video games with: any [[computer]], the Maxoid Simulator 2 1/2, Console 7, GUGA Joytoy 3, ExoEdge Gaming System by ReliableWare or the SimLife Goggles. The SimLife Goggles increase fun rapidly and cause many [[moodlets]]. On a computer or video game console, Sims can be seen playing ''Burnout Paradise'', ''Skate'' and ''Madden NFL''. If ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' is installed, Sims can also be seen playing "Sim Animals: Africa."

''[[The Sims 3]]'' includes a basic game console and VR set. The SimLife Goggles increase fun rapidly and cause many [[moodlets]]. On 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.
<blockquote>With the power of seven past generation machines, Console 7 is gigabytes of interactive fun. Video gaming is more than a fanciful hobby, it's a serious obligation and Guga Electronics incorporate some equally serious specifications on this platform. Expect plenty of launch parties for this gaming breakthrough.</blockquote>
