Line 1: '''Game ~~Options~~options''' are settings that users can make changes to games in [[The Sims (series)\|''The Sims'' series]]. In ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims Stories]]'' (except ''Pet'' and ''Castaway Stories'' where Esc is used instead), F5 would open up the Game Options. Although F5 no longer opens up Game Options in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'' and ''[[The Sims ~~Medieval~~4]]'', a tooltip saying Options is still shown when the user hovers the mouse over '...'. In most games of the console versions, Options is on the Pause menu. The options screens vary game to game, as follows. ==The Sims== The Options interface is entered by pressing F5. There are 3 options, '''Graphics''', '''Sound''' and '''Play'''. <gallery captionalign="left"> TS Options Interface.png\|Options interface ~~in The Sims~~ TS Graphics Options.png\|Graphics Options ~~in The Sims~~ TS Sound Options.png\|Sound Options ~~in The Sims~~ TS Play Options.png\|Play Options ~~in The Sims~~ </gallery> ==The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories== Options are entered by pressing F5 (ESC in ''The Sims Pet Stories'' and ''The Sims Castaway Stories''). In ''The Sims 2 ''options are '''different''' if expansion packs are installed. It can be accessed at any time — in a lot or neighborhood view, except during [[Create a Sim\|CAS]], ~~In The Sims 2 options are different if expansion packs are installed.~~ When clicking on it, a tab will be expanded. From there, the player can save the game's progress (under normal circumstances: within a modifiable lot and when no death, pregnancy and social worker is present) leave a lot and return back to the neighborhood or (If already in neighborhood view) switch to another one, or just quit the game entirely. Choosing either one of the two final executions will give a window prompt of whether the player wishes to save or not before the action is carried out. A variety of settings are provided for the player to tamper around with: graphics/performance, camera, audio and game. Custom content can be viewed and even can be toggle on-off, however the player will need to exit the game for the changes to be made. Additionally, a manual of each expansion pack's features/mechanics can be examined, as well allowing for game tips to be turned on or disabled. ===The Sims 2=== <gallery columns="3" captionalign="left" captionposition="below"> The_Sims_2_Options_Interface.png\|Options interface in ''The Sims 2'' The_Sims_2_Graphics-Performance_Options.png\|Graphics/Performance Options in ''The Sims 2'' The_Sims_2_Audio_Options.png\|Audio Options in ''The Sims 2'' The_Sims_2_Game_Options.png\|Game Options in ''The Sims 2'' The_Sims_2_Camera_Options.png\|Camera Options in ''The Sims 2'' </gallery> ===The Sims 2 and Expansion Packs=== <gallery columns="3" captionalign="left" captionposition="below"> TS2 Options Interface.PNG\|Options interface ~~in The Sims 2~~ TS2_Graphics-Performance_Options.png\|Graphics/Performance Options ~~in The Sims 2~~ TS2_Audio_Options.png\|Audio Options ~~in The Sims 2~~ TS2_Game_Options.png\|Game Options ~~in The Sims 2~~ TS2_Camera_Options.png\|Camera Options ~~in The Sims 2~~ </gallery> Line 38 ⟶ 41: Pressing F5 will open up Options which will show the commands. <gallery columns="3" captionalign="left" captionposition="below"> Ts3 opt vcg.jpg\|~~Video Capture~~Graphics Options in ''The Sims 3'' Ts3 opt s.jpg\|Sound Options in ''The Sims 3'' Ts3 opt mgs.jpg\|~~Music~~General ~~Previewer~~Settings in ''The Sims 3'' Ts3 opt gsgo.jpg\|~~General~~Game ~~Settings~~Options in ''The Sims 3'' Ts3 opt govc.jpg\|~~Game~~Video Capture Options in ''The Sims 3'' Ts3 opt gm.jpg\|~~Graphics~~Music ~~Options~~Previewer in ''The Sims 3'' </gallery> ==The Sims 4== Options can be accessed by clicking the Options Menu, and from there clicking Game Options. <gallery columns="3" captionalign="left" captionposition="below"> TS4 Options Graphics.png\|Graphics Options TS4 Options Audio.png\|Audio Options TS4 Options Music.png\|Music Previewer TS4 Options Gameplay.png\|Gameplay Options TS4 Options Game Camera.png\|Game Camera Options TS4 Options Screen Capture.png\|Screen Capture Options TS4 Options Other.png\|Other Options </gallery> [[Category:Game mechanics]]
