A '''rabbitRabbit holeholes''' isare anobjects object,usually generallydepicting a building and are massive in size, that Sims can enter or do activities in, but which the game camera cannot enter. Rabbit holes fade away when the camera gets closer to them, and Sims cannot be seen while they're 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, such as [[mausoleum]], [[gypsy wagon]], 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 give a [[lot assignment]] to [[community lot]]s. A rabbit hole placed on a community lot will also replace the lot's map tag with the rabbit hole's map tags.
 
Line 14:
 
Although rabbit holes will fade when the camera gets closer, players can see their contents 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 through their windows from the outside. Environment sounds and music can be heard when Sims are inside the rabbit holes. Usually, that will be a sound effect related to the rabbit holes, such as a school bell at [[school]] or eerie voices at mausoleum, with 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.

Line 24 ⟶ 26:
Since ''[[Late Night]]'', some multi-purpose rabbit holes are present to preserve [[neighborhood]]s, such as [[Bridgeport]], that lack enough space for big lots. Although this seems practical, there are some issues with multi-purpose rabbit holes, such as the inability to complete opportunities that are related to rabbit holes. Sometimes, the option to perform tasks from opportunities is not available, which prevents the player from completing the opportunities. For example, the [[Afterschool activity|afterschool 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>

==The Sims 4==
===The Sims 4: Discover University===
Rabbit holes returned first in ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]''. In [[Britechester]], students can go to class, attend sports games or participate in [[skill class]]es in campus rabbit holes. Like in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the player cannot see the inside of these rabbit holes or any Sims inside of them, although sound effects depicting whatever activity the Sim is performing can be heard. However during classes or exams the player can choose work tones similar to careers, such as "work hard","slack off" or "cheat on exam".
 
===The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu===
In the vacation world of [[Batuu]], Sims can visit various rabbit hole buildings - such as ordering food at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo or buying a droid at the Droid Depot.
