In ''The Sims'', outdoor lights come on at 6:00 pm and turn off at 3:00 am. Indoor lights will generally turn on when a Sim enters a room and turn off when no more Sims are in the room, or when all Sims in the room are asleep. They will only do this if the time is between 6:00 pm and 8:00 am. Starting with [[The Sims: Hot Date|Hot Date]], all indoor lights will turn on whenever a Sim enters the room, regardless of the time of day. Lights placed indoors on community lots are always on.{{confirm}}

Indoor lights will generally turn on when a Sim enters a room and turn off when no more Sims are in the room, or when all Sims in the room are asleep. ''[[The Sims: Hot Date|Hot Date]]'' changed most, but not all, [[Maxis]] lights so that they will turn on whenever a Sim enters the room, regardless of the time of day. However, many [[Custom content|custom]] lights will only turn on automatically between 6:00 pm and 8:00 am, either because they are based on unchanged Maxis lights, or because they are based on pre-''Hot Date'' lights. In general, lights placed indoors on community lots are always on, but some custom lights may not behave in this way.


In ''The Sims 2'', 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.
