If the player's Sim passes out in  ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out (handheld)|The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', the genie will appear, laugh at the Sim, and Teleport them to the hospital.

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.

[[File:GenieNPC.png|thumb|Genie Midlock, the genie in ''The Sims 2''.]]The '''genie''' reappeared in ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' and is found in the '''[[AntiqueGenie's Lamplamp#The Sims 2: FreeTime|Dusty Old Lamp]]'''. He has violet skin and wears a waistcoat. His full name in ''The Sims 2'' is [[Genie Midlock]], but when hovering the cursor on him, he will simply be identified as "Genie".

He can be summoned by [[child]]ren  or older Sims in the household. Any child<ref group="n">Most wishes are unavailable to children, but they can wish for '''Peace of Mind''' and '''Long Life'''.</ref> or older Sim in the household can make a wish, even if a different Sim rubbed the lamp to summon him. However, he grants three [[#Wishes 2|wishes]] to the object – not per Sim. Wishes can go wrong, but generally do not. After the genie has been summoned once, the lamp can no longer be sold. However, the lamp can be [[Gift giving|given as a gift]] even after the genie has been summoned and wishes have been made. There is no time limit on the lamp; wishes can be made at any time until all three have been made.

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>  The Gypsy Matchmaker may eventually deliver the lamp even if it is meant to belong to a Sim's dormmates, roommate, neighbor in the same apartment, or even a visiting Sim.

If this happens, the player can correct it by selecting one of the other colors, then saving. If the player wants the Sim to have black, brown, or blond hair, nothing more needs to be done.

[[File:Genie posingGeniets3st2.jpgpng|thumb|AThe genie in ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime]].'']]

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.{{confirm}} with the following message: "You have used your last wish, and the lamp has gone to seek another owner!"

*Magically clean Sim - Boosts a Sim's hygiene to maximum and grants a +20 "Magically Spotlessly Clean" moodlet for 30 minutes. Does not wakedivert sleepingSim Simsfrom their current action, has unlimited range, can target any life stage and significantly increases relationship with the target Sim.

*Make house spotless and sparkly - Cleans the entire lot after a 2-second warm-up, and temporarily adds a sparkling effect to the inside of the house. Cleaning does not extend to toys and beds and only works indoors.

*Ensorcel Sim - Mind controls a Sim for 4 hours. The Ensorcelled Sim will get the Ensorcelled moodlet for 4 hours, and their PlumbBob will glow purple. The moodlet has no positive or negative effects, and is cast on Sims outside the active family. "Mind control" simply means that the target Sim is temporarily added to the active family, with no autonomy. Hence, this cannot be used to have more than 8 active Sims in the household. The interaction is greyed out on burglars, as the game humorously affirms they're "oddly resistant to your (Genie's) powers".

**'''Tip:''' The [[Inventory#The Sims 3|inventory]] of an Ensorcelled Sim can be accessed. This allows the player to remove items from that Sim's inventory, and these items can be sold. This even extends to the Ensorcelled Sim's car, if  that Sim has one.

*Sims can only gain the hidden traits [[Hidden trait#World Peace|World Peace]] or [[Hidden trait#World Misery|World Misery]] by making a wish for them. It is possible for multiple Sims to wish for World Peace or World Misery, but only if two or more Sims make the wish simultaneously with multiple genies. Doing this with a couple will guarantee them to pass down the Hidden Trait to their children.

*There is a glitch with genies after installing ''[[Supernatural]]''. Genies will lose their hidden trait and abilities if they move to another city, though they will still retain their blue skin and signature outfit. This can be fixed by using the 'Vial of Bottled Genie' elixir on the Sim who used to be a genie.

*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.
