(→‎The Sims: Improved info about when indoor lights turn on.)
Line 6:
When ''[[The Sims]]'' was first released, there were only floor lamps and table lamps. Wall lights were introduced with the downloadable Wall Light Pack, which was included in ''[[Livin' Large]]''. Ceiling lamps were introduced in ''[[Hot Date]]''. When ''Hot Date'' introduced sub-categories into [[Buy mode]], floor lamps were labeled "Standing Lamps" and ceiling lamps were labeled "Hanging Lamps". There is also an "Other" category, which mostly consists of outdoor lights.
 
Outdoor lights come on at nightfall, and turn off at 3:00 am. IndoorIf the time is between 6:00 pm and 8:00 am, or if a room has no windows, indoor lights will generally turn on when a Sim enters a room and turn off when no more Sims are in the room, and some may do this regardless of the time of day. Some lights are clickable, and can be turned on and off manually. These 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.
 
Clickable lamps 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 increasing the [[Mechanical]] skill greatly reduces the risk of electrocution.
