[[File:Genie.png|left]]The '''genie''' is an [[NPC]] that Sims can summon by cleaning an '''[[Antique Lamp]]'''{{Vgversion|TS:LL}} or rubbing the '''[[Antique Lamp#The Sims 2: FreeTime|Dusty Old Lamp]]'''{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}{{Vgversion|TS3:ST}}. In all three main games in [[The Sims series|''The Sims'' series]], a genie can grant various wishes on behalf of the Sim who summoned it, although in the first two games these wishes may turn out to have either positive or negative consequences. In ''Livin' Large'' and ''FreeTime'', genies cannot be freed from their lamps or made playable, and regular Sims cannot become genies. In ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]'', however, genies can become a playable [[life state]], though a Sim still cannot become a genie without one of the [[Alchemy|elixirs]] featured in ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]''. If both ''Supernatural'' and ''Showtime'' are installed, genies will also appear as one of the life states that can be made in [[Create a Sim]].▼

In ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', the genie will give a Sim two choices for a wish upon being summoned. The player has no control over which choices are offered. These wishes will have ambiguous names such as "Air" and "Fire", which can obscure their outcomes. Wishes can go wrong, and almost always do; the genie in ''Livin' Large'' is not particularly adept.
A lamp can be cleaned once a day as long as it is on the lot. In addition, several wishes can be made in a day if each one is made from a different lamp.<ref group="n">It may not be necessary to sell one lamp before buying another, but doing this will definitely allow another wish to be made.</ref> The genie's ineptness is a way of balancing this.

In ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'' and ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', the genie appears in the GBA and DS{{Vgversion|TU:SITC}} games when the player's Sim dies, and resurrects the Sim.
===
If the player's Sim passes out in
===
The genie has same role as in ''The Sims Bustin' Out'', and will return the Sim to the Bayou Twins shack if that Sim is on that quest. Otherwise, the Sim will be teleported to the Urbania Hospital. It is possible for the player to obtain the genie's lamp and teleport the Sim to a rest area containing motive-boosting objects such as a bed and a toilet.

He can be summoned by [[child]]ren
Until three wishes have been made, he can be sent back into the lamp by selecting the Dismiss option, or he will go back on his own if he is not interacted with for a while. Once three wishes are made, he will state that Genie Law requires him to leave, and return to the lamp, which will then levitate and disappear. Sims in a household with a lamp may roll a 1,500 point [[Wants and Fears|want]] to make a wish.

===Receiving the Dusty Old Lamp===
To be awarded the genie, one or more Sims in the household must have high [[enthusiasm]] in a [[Hobbies|hobby]] and high Lifetime Aspiration, which will summon the [[Gypsy Matchmaker]] to deliver the lamp. For each Sim with a [[Aspiration bar#Lifetime Aspiration|Lifetime Aspiration]] level of 7 or higher, there is a 2% chance (per day) that the matchmaker will bring the lamp.<ref group="n">In practice, the combination of Lifetime Aspiration and overall hobby enthusiasm appears to be what is relevant. Even if no Sims have a Lifetime Aspiration of at least 7, the matchmaker may deliver the lamp if Sims have high enthusiasm in one or more hobbies.</ref>
As a rule, one Sim in a household that receives a lamp will receive a [[Memories|memory]] of finding it, though this does not always happen. The memory is not always received by a Sim with high Lifetime Aspiration and hobby enthusiasm; it may be received by a [[toddler]], or even a [[baby]].
Line 91 ⟶ 93:
In [[Desiderata Valley]]'s [[Aspir family|Aspir household]], there is already a Dusty Old Lamp in the house.

[[File:The-sims-2-20050516040807591.jpg|thumb|A Sim summoning a genie in ''[[The Sims 2 (console)]]'']]
Genie also appear in ''[[The Sims 2 (console)|The Sims 2 for Console]]'', though nothing usually happens when Sims interact with one. Also, when a Sim awakens a genie, all that will appear is the genie's head. Genies can be untrustworthy, and will sometimes trick Sims into giving them their money.
Line 141 ⟶ 142:
The genie's lamp needs to be unlocked to buy it. This is fulfilled by gaining a certain amount of [[aspiration points]]. When unlocked, it can be found under Misc. in buy mode.

The genie returns as both an NPC and a playable [[life state]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]]''. Unlike genies in previous games, genies in ''Showtime'' can be male or female, and are mobile. Furthermore, Sims can now socialize and interact with them like regular Sims.<ref name="ts3blog">http://www.thesims3.com/community/blog.html?blogid=405855</ref><ref name="simsvip">http://simsvip.com/?page_id=7472</ref>
Genies can be summoned by rubbing the '''[[Antique Lamp#The Sims 3: Showtime|Dusty Old Lamp]]''', and will grant three wishes per lamp. After all wishes have been made, the lamp will disappear
===
During a trip to the graveyard, there is a chance that a Sim will find the [[Antique Lamp#The Sims 3: Showtime|Dusty Old Lamp]] while exploring the catacombs. A Sim with the [[Lucky]] trait will have a better chance of finding the Dusty Old Lamp.
Sims who give a "legendary" stage performance or who travel through the dimensional gate on a [[ElectroDance Sphere#The Sims 3: Showtime|PlasmaPunch Gyroscopic Conductor]] may also receive a Dusty Old Lamp.<ref name="ts3blog" /> Alternatively, the Dusty Old Lamp can be purchased for 30,000 Lifetime Happiness points.<ref name="simsvip" />
===
Before a genie is released, they will be able to grant wishes to Sims. As in ''The Sims 2: FreeTime'', any household member can make a wish, but unlike ''FreeTime'', Sims can only make one wish every 12 hours, as genies need to rest for several hours after each wish.<ref name="simsvip" /> Furthermore, every wish will be successful; there is no longer such a thing as a backfiring wish. Another difference from ''The Sims 2: FreeTime'' is that only the Sim who rubs the lamp can make a wish from the genie. To allow another Sim to make a wish, have the genie return to the lamp, and get that particular Sim to rub the lamp.
These are the wishes that [[Sim]]s may make:

A high relationship with the genie is needed to release them. A Sim who wishes to free the genie must complete 3 different opportunities:
*
*
*
Summon the genie one more time, and they are released from the lamp forever. The genie will join the Sim's household and can be controlled by the player.
Line 215 ⟶ 216:
If nothing happens when this wish is selected, make sure the Sim making it has the "Special Opportunity" slot available.
===
After a genie is released, he or she will no longer be able to grant wishes to Sims. However, they still have the following magical abilities:
*
*
**A wish to use this ability is a frequent occurrence when something is affected by it.
*
*Banish Sim - Removes an unwanted visitor from the lot. This will significantly decrease the relationship between the genie and the other Sim.
*
**
**
Genies in ''The Sims 3: Showtime'' also have approximately twice the [[lifespan]] of a regular Sim, and their needs are a light purple color. Genies also float instead of running when ordered to travel some distance not reachable by car.
===
After the genie is released, it is possible to marry the genie and even [[try for baby]] with them. The children of a genie will not be able to grant wishes. However, there is a 50/50 chance that the offspring of a normal Sim and a genie will have genie [[#Abilities|abilities]], which will appear when he or she reaches the child stage. While genies have an extended lifespan, this does not affect the length of any life stages prior to [[Young Adult]].<ref name="carls">http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/showtime/genies.php</ref>

*''Ensorcel Sim'' isn't available on other genies and along with ''Banish Sim'', isn't available on [[Ghost|ghosts]] and certain NPCs such as [[Burglar|Burglars]] and [[Emit Relevart]] (however he can still be banished in [[Oasis Landing]]){{vgversion|TS3:ITF}}. ''Banish Sim'' is also not available while in the vacation sub-worlds{{Vgversion|TS3:WA}}, but is still available in [[Sims University]]{{vgversion|TS3:UL}} and [[Oasis Landing]]{{vgversion|TS3:ITF}}, whilst ''Ensorcel Sim'' cannot be used in any sub-world.

*There is a glitch which will allow the wishes to be reset to three wishes again. With the lamp in a Sim's inventory, moving the household with Edit Town mode will cause the genie lamp to be reset to three wishes being available. However, the genie that comes out of the lamp will be a different genie. This also happens when Sims travel abroad or through time with ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', or ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. It should be noted that the genie lamp cannot be used while on vacation. It should also be noted that if a Sim wished for happiness, their Eternal Joy moodlet will be removed when their household is moved, as all Sims in the household will be reset to having no moodlets. The Sim will not be able to wish for happiness again. If the Sim travels abroad, they will retain the moodlet, but it will be blank with a green background.
==
Genies only appear in one quest, ''The Genie Lamp'', which can be completed in two ways, the Monarch way (which involves finding the lamp and getting rid of it) and the Wizard way, which involves freeing the genie. Freeing the genie from the lamp will give the wizard the combination for the "Beacon of Hope" hidden spell and a mildly-powerful staff.
Line 253 ⟶ 256:
If they are removed from the lamp incorrectly, they will destroy a large area around them.
