A '''rabbitRabbit holeholes''' isare anobjects object,usually generallydepicting ina building and are massive in size, whichthat Sims can enter or do activities in, but playerswhich arethe unablegame tocamera seecannot what's inside itenter. Rabbit holes fade away when the camera gets closer to them, and Sims cannot be seen whatwhile they're doing inside one. They exist in every world in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and are also present in ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu]]''.
 
==FunctionsThe Sims 3==
Most rabbit holes function as workplaces where Sims are employed and work in. Most of them are building-sized, though some of them are not, such as [[mausoleum]], [[gypsy caravanwagon]], or [[arboretum]] are not. Sims can perform various activities inside rabbit holes, such as getting employed, attending a show, attending a class, and so on. Some rabbit holes rendergive thea [[lot assignment]] ofto [[community lot]]s. RabbitA holesrabbit hole placed inon a community lot will also replace the lot's map tag with the rabbit hole's map tags.
 
Some rabbit holes arecan investable.be invested in, allowing Sims canto become partnerpartners in them and own them. Once Sims who become an owner, theyowners can rebuild the lot to improve it toso becomethat it becomes more attractive, rename the rabbit hole, and also fire Sims at their will. They can't, however, fire the last employee who works there.
 
In some [[career]]s and [[profession]]s, some of their duties or [[Opportunity|opportunities]] arerequire to enterentering certain rabbit holes to perform somethingan activity. WhatFor theyexample, do[[firefighter]]s doesn'tsometimes reallyhave matter,to becauserespond to a building disaster in a rabbit hole. When Sims do this, they will just enter the rabbit holes and complete theirthe tasks themselves. For example, [[Firefighter]]sso sometimesexactly havewhat athey buildingdo disaster where theydoesn'llt enterreally a rabbit hole and complete it eventuallymatter.
 
Although rabbit holes will fade when the camera gets closer, players can see thetheir contents inside them with cameraman view by pressing the Tab key. Everything inside the building is 2-D decorative textures that serve to make the rabbit holes or buildings more realistic when players peek them through windowtheir windows from the outside. Environment sounds and music can be heard when Sims are inside the rabbit holes. Usually, it'sthat will be a sound effect related to the rabbit holes, such as a school bell at [[school]] or eerie voices at mausoleum, with an audible background music.
 
If a rabbit hole gets deleted, Sims employed in any careers and professions associated with the rabbit hole should switch to other rabbit holes in the world of the same type. If there are no other rabbit holes of the associated type, those Sims will become unemployed. Likewise, children and teens will be moved to different schools if a school rabbit hole is deleted, and will no longer be required—or be able—to attend school if the last school is deleted.
 
===Advertising deal===
Sims who are at the top of [[Professional Sports]] career can do an advertising deal at the [[grocery]] or [[bookstore]], which will reward them with §1,500 (good result), §500 (medium result), or nonenothing (failed result). How good the result of the deal is based on the Sim's mood. Sims can make another advertising deal after 4 days fromafter a successful deal or 1 week fromafter a failed deal. Sims cannot have two deals at a time; which means they need to wait for a week to make a deal in a grocery if they've made one in a bookstore.
 
===Autograph session===
Sims who are at their top of certain[[Music (career)|Music]] or Professional Sports careerscareer can hold autograph sessions in some rabbit holes. While in an autograph session, Sims must give autographautographs to as many visitors as possible. The more Sims that get autographs, the more money the player will earn money. Sometimes, this will also attract and advertise to Sims, attracting them to enter the rabbit holes to watch a show or game for example, which will give bonusan asadditional wellbonus. Technically, Sims can hold autograph sessions in rabbit holes wherethat Sims can enter to attend a show or purchase items or services, i.e. [[theater]], [[stadiumspa]], [[equestrian centerdiner]], orand [[film studio]]grocery.
 
Additionally, Sims can also make an advertisement deal with [[bookstore]] and [[grocery]]. This is simpler as Sims only need to enter the rabbit hole in an amount of time, and they'll earn money. Sims need to wait for a week to make another advertisement deal. Sims cannot have two deals at a time; which means they need to wait for a week to make a deal in grocery if they've made one in bookstore.
 
===Multi-purpose rabbit holes===
Since ''[[Late Night]]'', some multi-purpose rabbit holes are present to preserve [[neighborhood]]s, such as [[Bridgeport]], that lack enough space for big lots, such as [[Bridgeport]]. Although this seems practical, there are some issues regarding with multi-purpose rabbit holes, such as the inability to complete opportunities that are related to rabbit holes. Sometimes, the option to perform tasktasks from opportunities is not available, which prevents the player from completing the opportunities. For example, the [[Afterschool activity|aftershoolafterschool activities]]-related opportunities cannot be completed at school in [[Moonlight Falls]].
 
Issues with the multi-purpose rabbit holes can be fixed by installing [[Overwatch]].<ref>[https://www.nraas.net/community/Overwatch-Revision-Notes Overwatch Revision Notes] at nraas.wikispaces.com</ref>
