'''Massage''' is a kind of relaxation Sims can receive, which is generally from a massage table. Sims can give or receive a massage to another Sim if the massage table is present on the lot.
==The Sims 2: Bon Voyage==

Massage is a feature in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]''. It's one of the main attractions in each vacation destination. By default, all Sims have learned the Swedish Massage. Each vacation destination has its own unique massage, which Sims can receive for §100 or learn for §500 from the masseuse. Learning a massage will enable Sims to give it to other Sims, and get a [[vacation memento]]. They cannot, however, teach it to other Sims. The massages are Deep Tissue Massage from [[Three Lakes]], Acupressure Massage from [[Takemizu Village]], and Hot Stone Massage from [[Twikkii Island]].
Receiving a massage replenishes a Sim's [[comfort]], [[energy]], and [[fun]] motives, as well as [[social]] which also builds relationship with the giver. Different types of massage have different effects; i.e. Acupressure Massage gives the most energy, while Swedish Massage gives the most comfort. Below is the list of massage effects:

<blockquote class="note">With ''[[Open for Business]]'', Sims can sell massages to customers in a [[business]]. Customers won't autonomously buy a massage though, so they have to be offered one.</blockquote>
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Sims can receive a massage as a romantic interaction, from the [[spa]], or from the massage premium content. Receiving any of these massages can get rid of the "Sore" moodlet, as well as the [[wish]] to get a massage.
From the spa, Sims can purchase Shiatsu Massage (§50), Swedish Massage (§250), or Deep Tissue (§500). Getting these massages will give Sim "Relaxed" moodlet for 12 hours with +25, +50, or +75 mood depending on the massage. The '''Infinite Zen Massage Table''' has 5 types of massages. Unlike ''Bon Voyage'', the massage table from the store doesn't have a masseuse NPC, so Sims must ask from or offer massage to anyone.<ref>The Romantic Massage can only be offered to or asked from the Sim's romantic interest.</ref> The massage table is free from charge, but the table itself costs §550.
The types of massages from the massage table are the following:
*Swedish Massage - "Relaxed" moodlet
*Deep Tissue Massage - "Loose and Limber" moodlet
*Acupuncture Massage - "Finding Nirvana" or "Pinched Nerve" moodlet
*Hot Stone Massage - "Pebble Prepped" or "Hot Stones" moodlet
*Romantic Massage - "High Fertility" moodlet
