Players can have members of a household Sim "Greet" visitors that come to their lot. Few interactions were available with the visitor until the visitor was greeted. In The Sims, each visitor had to be greeted individually, and a visitor could not be asked to leave until he or she had been greeted. This was changed in The Sims 2. Before The Sims 3, greeting them would also invite them into the home. With The Sims 3, Sims can talk to visitors but they are not allowed inside unless the "Invite Inside" interaction is used.

The Sims: Hot Date, and later expansion packs, allowed a player to select from several possible social interactions when one adult Sim greeted another. Which interactions were available, and whether or not one would be accepted, depended on the relationship between the two Sims. It was not unusual for greeting interactions to become available before they were likely to be accepted. This was not kept in The Sims 2.

A special greeting or gesture is a social interaction that is available in The Urbz: Sims in the City, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. Gestures were introduced in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage with each exotic location having their own gesture. While on vacation, Sims could learn them from the locals. Apartment Life offers more based on Social Groups similar to The Urbz: Sims in the City. The Sims 3 allows the player various ways of "introducing" their Sim based on their Charisma skill and traits.
