}}A '''shock''' is a painful and sometimes [[Death|fatal]] event that can occur when a [[Sim]] repairs an electrical or electronic device. The lower a Sim's [[mechanical]] skill level is, the more likely a shock becomes, but it can happen even to Sims whose mechanical skill is high. It can also be triggered when the Sim is standing in a puddle while doing the repairs. Sims can call a [[repairman]] to avoid this event, though there is a small chance that the repairman will also be shocked.▼

A shock that leads to death is known as '''electrocution'''. The chances of a shock resulting in electrocution vary between different games and can depend on other circumstances within the game.
==The Sims==
In ''[[The Sims]]'', all electric shocks result in death by electrocution. Sims have a high chance of electrocution while repairing an electrical object with low mechanical skill. This chance decreases, but never drops to zero, as mechanical skill increases. Sims will always get electrocuted when repairing an electrical object

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', electric shock causes a large drop in all of a Sim's [[needs]]. If this puts three or more of the Sim's needs at extremely low levels, they will be electrocuted and die. Sims who survive a shock get the "Shocked" [[memory]]. Their hair will be burnt after being shocked, and their faces will be smudged. This can be fixed by bathing or showering or using the "Change Appearance" option on a mirror. With the addition of [[influence]] in the ''[[The Sims 2: University|University]]'' [[Content pack|expansion pack]], it is possible for non-controllable Sims to be shocked when influenced to do repairs. ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' adds the further risk of being shocked by [[lightning]], and ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' expansion adds the risk of a [[Servo]] running amok and shocking anyone who is on the lot.
In [[The Sims 2 (console)|''The Sims 2'' for console]], Sims with low [[mechanical]] skill can also get shocked while operating a DJ booth. This will happen when the machine effects are deployed (laser, fog, and fireworks). This shock will result in electrocution, and will immediately kill the Sim
==The Sims 3==
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Sims get the [[singed]] [[moodlet]] after getting shocked for the first time. The lightning will cause the Sim to have burned clothing and messed up hair. If the Sim gets shocked again with the singed moodlet, the Sim will be electrocuted,
