Line 44:
In ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', the lights will turn on automatically if a Sim enters a room, arrives home (if they are alone), or wakes up. Occasionally, the lights may not turn on automatically, requiring the player to manually adjust them.

===The Sims===
In ''The Sims'', whether a light is clickable and can be turned on and off manually depends on its internal coding. Clickable lights will also go on when a [[burglar alarm]] goes off. Lights that have been turned on or off manually, or that have been turned on by a [[burglar alarm]], will go back to automatic at 8:00 am. These clickable lamps also have bulbs that will periodically burn out and need to be replaced. The [[repairman]] will replace these bulbs. Sims can replace bulbs themselves, but may get [[electrocution|electrocuted]], though having even a low level of [[mechanical]] skill greatly reduces the risk of being electrocuted when changing a bulb.
Line 54:
When an outdoor light is on auto, it will turn on at 7:00 pm and turn off at 2:00 am. Indoor lights that are on auto will be on between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am unless all Sims in the room are asleep.
Some lights allow for further customization, such as changing the color or tone of the light. In ''Nightlife'', many of the dance floor strobe lamps can be configured to only play certain animations. These changes take effect immediately, and can be done even on unowned community lots.
Lights in ''The Sims 2'' do not burn out.

Sims with the [[frugal]] trait may autonomously turn off the lights in their home, and will often give themselves the "It's Dark" moodlet as a result.
▲Various [[expansion pack]]s have enhanced light behaviour throughout the series, so that light settings can be controlled by [[tomb object]]s if ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]'' is installed. ''World Adventures'' also introduced a wide range of invisible light sources available using the ''Buydebug'' [[cheat]]. Initially, lights could only sit in one position on walls, but as of a base game patch coinciding with the release of ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'', most lights can be shifted up and down walls.
