Hacking is an activity in The Sims 2: University and The Sims 3 that can be performed on a computer.

"Grade Hacking" is an action available on college computers in The Sims 2: University after a Sim joins a secret society. While hacking, a Sim's class performance will slowly rise, however there is also a great risk. If a Sim hacks their grades for too long, or if they have a low Logic skill, they can be caught and fined by the police, and their class performance lowered to its original state. Having higher Logic lowers the risk of being caught. The chance of being busted can be seen in the top-right hand corner while hacking.

Only Sims with the Computer Whiz trait can hack in The Sims 3. Depending on the amount of times a Sim has hacked before, money is paid out every 30 minutes (20 with the Genius trait).
