'''Pranks''' are an interaction where one Sim uses physical humor to amuseamuse—or — or annoy — anotherannoy—another Sim, or an interaction involving objects. They were first introduced under that name in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', though some of the abilities Sims could gain from [[Crystal Clear Ability Rocks]] in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'' are essentially pranks. Pranks were also reintroduced in a different form in ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'', one in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'', and again in  ''[[The Sims 4]]''.
 
==The Sims 2==
''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' introduced three new pranks that Sims can pull on each other. With the addition of rugs in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'', [[child]]ren can do a static charge prank. [[PlantSim]]s have a special prank of their own. While the prank is taking place, other Sims in the room will gather around to watch it. Playful Sims will laugh and nice Sims will watch worriedly. Sims with low playful and nice scores may boo the prankster.

''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' introduced three new pranks that one Sim can pull on another. With the new addition of rugs from ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'', [[child]]ren can do a static charge prank. [[PlantSim]]s have a special prank. While the prank is taking place, other Sims in the room will gather around to watch it. Playful Sims will laugh and Nice Sims will watch worriedly. Sims with low playful and nice scores may boo the prankster.
 
*'''Ventrilo-Fart'''{{vgversion|TS2:U}} - The prankster will break wind and blame it on the victim, causing humiliation.
*'''Joy Buzzer'''{{vgversion|TS2:U}} - The prankster will shake hands with the victim, and "electrocute" them with a joy buzzer. The shock is not lethal.
*'''Water Balloon'''{{vgversion|TS2:U}} - The prankster distracts the victim, and then quickly whips a water balloon at their head. A puddle will form nearby.<ref group="n">Prior to the [[The Sims 2: FreeTime/Patch|''FreeTime'' patch]], neat Sims would become furious at the victim when they were instructed to mop up a puddle created as a result of this prank, even if the neat Sim was the prankster themselves.</ref>
*'''Static Charge'''{{vgversion|TS2:NL}} - Requires a rug, and can only be done by kids. The prankster must be standing on a rug first before the option will appear. The Sim will generate static electricity from the rugs and then shock the victim. The shock is not lethal.
*'''Pollen Cloud'''{{vgversion|TS2:S}} - This prank is unique to [[PlantSim]]s. The PlantSim will blow a cloud of pollen into the victim's face.
 
Pranks can have a positive or negative effect on two Sims' relationships, depending on how high it is. For example, if a Sim's good friend pulls a prank on them, the outcome will have a positive effect on their relationship. When a Sim's enemy pulls a prank on them, it will have a negative effect on their relationship. The same goes for acquaintances — theacquaintances—the higher the relationship, the higher the chance of a positive effect.
 
There are also pranks which involve objects. These pranks will attract the attention of other Sims on the lot, but will not affect their relationship with the prankster.
 
*'''Fire sprinkler prank'''{{vgversion|TS2:U}} - The prankster will take out a lighter and put it under a [[Sprinkler (fire)|sprinkler]], causing it to go off. All Sims in the room will react negatively to the sprinklers, and a watery mess will be left behind.
*'''Soap in fountain prank''' - The prankster will take out a box of soap and pour some into the [[fountain]], which will cause bubbles to form. Other Sims on the lot will go over to look at the suds, and may either laugh or watch disapprovingly, depending on their personality. If this prank is done to the [[Temple of Jumbok IV]], lava will start pouring out of the fountain.{{vgversion|TS2:BV}}

==The Sims 3==
''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' adds a prank system for teenagers. An early game trailer showed a number of pranks, including a Sim letting off a "stink bomb" in a library.<ref name="Generations trailer">http://www.Simprograms.com/28654/the-Sims-3-generations-official-trailer/</ref> Sims can be punished if they are caught preparing a prank, depending on the severity of the prank. Domestic and misdemeanor pranks are punished by scolding or timeouts; school pranks are punished by detention; and neighborhood delinquent behavior are punished by [[police]] involvement. Only [[child]]ren and [[teen]]s can pull pranks. Children can plant booby traps, and teenagers can also prank neighbors and their school. Sims will get a negative moodlet if they fall victim to a prank, unless they have a [[good sense of humor]]. Children and teens caught pranking will get grounded by their parents.

Pranks return again in ''The Sims 4'' and are found under the mischief social category, with the exception being the prank call.

Although pranks are usually successful, target Sims who have either a high mischief or [[logic]] skill are able to stop pranks, causing them to backfire. Pranks can also be considered as a funny interaction, if the target Sim is in a good mood and the current conversation is going nicely. Children can also pull various pranks on other children and can gain more pranks by raising their mischief skill, after mastering the [[Social (skill)|social]] skill.
