The '''Llama''' (''Lama glama'') is a South American camelid, widely used as a pack animal by the Incas and other natives of the Andes mountains. In South America llamas are stillstil used as beasts of burden, as well as for the production of fiber and meat.
 
Llamas are a recurring theme in'' ''[[The Sims series|''The Sims'' series]], where there are numerous references to them, including a baseball team named after the animals. Apparently the llama is the national animal of [[SimNation]]. Many items in [[buy mode]] have llamas on them, or refer to llamas. The "Let There Be Light Laser Show" draws a llama, and a lot of computer activities or hacking opportunities involve (you guessed it) llamas. The [[The Sims 2: University|''University'']] expansion for ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and the ''[[The Sims 3: University Life|University Life]]'' expansion for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' have [[mascot]]s that are dressed as llamas. Judging from the cheer that they and the [[cheerleader]]s do in ''The Sims 2: University'', the [[Simlish]] word for "llama" appears to be "gerbit".
 
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', llamas make their first physical appearance in-game as farm animals in the ''[[The Sims 4: Cottage Living|Cottage Living]]'' expansion. They can be kept in barn stalls, and their fur can be sheared and collected for various crafts such as embroidery.
There are ''endless'' references to llamas in this game.

Llamas can be bought through a livestock stall similar to [[cow]]s. Like other animals they can be dressed up and given different colors and patterns. Llamas are important for protecting [[bunny|bunnies]] and [[chicken]]s from [[fox]]es that might be roaming the lot as they will spit to ward them off.
 
Llamas can have unique personalities and can form relationships with Sims, and Sims can tend to their needs and care for them.
