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.
Line 83:
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> 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.

Line 230 ⟶ 219:
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:
*Magically clean Sim - Boosts a Sim's hygiene to maximum and grants a +20 "Magically Spotlessly Clean" moodlet for 30 minutes. Does not
*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.
**A wish to use this ability is a frequent occurrence when something is affected by it.
*Summon food - Summons perfect quality food. Almost all types of food may be summoned, with the exception of Ambrosia.
*Banish Sim - Removes an unwanted visitor from the lot. This will significantly decrease the relationship between the genie and the other Sim.
*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".
**Release Sim from Ensorcelment - Releases Sim from Ensorcel.
**'''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.

===Notes===
*All genies come with two [[hidden trait]]s, [[Hidden trait#Genie|Genie]] and [[Hidden trait#Immune to Fire|Immune to Fire]].
*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.
*The Dusty Old Lamp is not available through the buydebug cheat.
*''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.
*Genies that die will retain their powers as genie ghosts.<ref name="carls" />
*Genies also learn skills more quickly, just like vampires do at night.
