A '''pond''' is a pool of water on a [[lot]].

If a pond has the necessary requirements, fish can be found in the pond and a Sim can begin [[fishing]].{{Vgversion|TS:V}}{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} In ''[[The Sims: Vacation]]'', a [[fishing pier]] is required for Sims to fish; in later games, Sims can fish anywhere along the shores of the pond.<ref group="n">In ''The Sims 2'', players must click on the bottom of the pond in order to initiate the fishing interaction. If the pond is too deep, players may have difficulty clicking on the pond.</ref>

In ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', ponds freeze over in the [[winter]]. When it does, Sims can skate on it.{{Vgversion|TS3:S}}

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', if a Sim has at least 10 of one type of fish, they can "stock" the pond with the fish, in which the number of fish then becomes unlimited and can be fished from at anytime.

In ''[[The Sims 4: Get Famous]]'', Sims can [[drown]] in the Luminary's Exotic Water Garden pond if they fall into it while the pond is filled with hungry fish. As of [[The Sims 4/Patch 95|patch 95]], with the overhauled Off-the-Grid lot trait system comes a new feature to gather water from the water canals.

Players can create a pond in the lot by selecting "Ponds" from the [[build]] menu and applying it to an area of terrain.{{Vgversion|TS1}}{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} ''[[The Sims 3 (console)|The Sims 3 for console]]'' is the only console game in [[The Sims series]] that allows for ponds to be created. This can be done by going into the Landsculpting options and by selecting the Water tool and applying it to an area of exposed terrain. Ponds can be stocked with dead fish, which can be fished at anytime in the Sims' own personal pond. In ''The Sims 2'', ponds can be created under foundation and decks.

Various plants, like lily pads, can be added as cosmetic decoration. ''The Sims 2: Seasons'' introduced a [[fountain]] ('''The Flowy Fountain''') for ponds, which can purchased from the [[Decorations|sculpture]] section in [[buy mode]].
