Trisha Traveller receives a massage while on holiday

With The Sims 2: Bon Voyage, Sims are able to get and give massages using the Soft'n'Tender Massage Table. Sims can also learn new massages when on vacation.

Types of Massages

There are four types of massages:

• Swedish Massage
• Deep Tissue Massage (Three Lakes)
• Acupressure Massage (Takemizu Village)
• Hot Stone Massage (Twikkii Island)

In The Sims 3 spa you can get:

• Shiatsu massage (§50)
• Swedish massage (§250)
• Deep Tissue (§500)

By using the Infinite Zen Massage Table there are:

• Deep Tissue ( "Loose and Limber" moodlet-no soreness and fatigue so Sims can workout longer).
• Swedish Massage ( "Relaxed" moodlet )
• Hot Stone massage ( Pebble prepped moodlet)
• Romantic massage
• Acupuncture ( Finding Nirvana moodlet )

Getting Massages

Masseuses are on community lots and hotels in Takemizu Village, Twikkii Island and Three Lakes. They charge §100 for a massage.

In The Sims 3 Sims can get massages at the spa. Each massage has a different price. If you have the Sims 3 world Sunlit Tides, you can get an Infinite Zen Massage Table and get massages from other sims of your choice for free.

Learning New Massages

Any Sim can give a Swedish Massage, but they need to learn the other three massages from a Masseuse while on vacation.

Masseuses teach Acupressure Massages in Takemizu Village, Deep Tissue in Three Lakes and Hot Stone in Twikkii Island. They charge §500 to teach a massage.

Giving Massages

Sims can give massages to other Sims using a massage table. Click on the massage table, choose the type of massage and the Sim to get the massage.

Sims can also charge money for a massage by choosing that option when clicking on the massage table.

Benefits of Massage

Getting a massage increases Comfort, Energy and Fun.
