[[File:Genie.png|left]]The '''genie''' is an [[NPC]] that [[Sim]]s 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 the first 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]].

 

==The Sims 3==

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>
