Shock: Difference between revisions

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 while they are standing on a puddle, regardless of skill.

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 immediately.

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, unless they are repairing a computer. If the Sim has Unluckythe [[unlucky]] trait, they will immediately be electrocuted regardless of being singed or not. Electrocuted ghosts look yellow and have electric currents running through their body. Sims usually are shocked if they try to repair an object with a low handiness skill, or if an upgrade fails on an object. Sims have a higher chance of getting shocked if they are also standing in a puddle of water while attempting to repair an electrical object. In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural|Supernatural]]'', Sims may be shocked if they eat a [[jelly bean]]. A [[Fairy]] can also get shocked if they’re drawn to the [[Spectrum Mood Lamp]] for too long. In ''[[The Sims 3: University Life|University Life]]'', Sim may be shocked when they are doing brain enhancement. When a Sim gets shocked, there is a small chance that both the object and the Sim will catch on [[fire]].

[[File:TS4_Electrocution_Moodlet.png|thumb|Seriously Fried moodlet]] In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Sims may be shocked when attempting to repair objects. If their needs drop too low during a shock, they will be electrocuted. A Sim has a higher chance of being shocked when they're repairing electronic objects with a low mechanical skill, or when they're repairing an electrical object whilst standing on top of a puddle of water. A Sim will get the "Seriously Fried"  moodlet when they get shocked, which will give the +40 dazed emotion (for 3 hours), and causes smoke to pour out of the Sim. There is also a chance of the object the Sim was repairing catching fire. If the Sim get shocked again with the moodlet, they'll be immediately electrocuted. In ''[[The Sims 4: Get to Work|Get to Work]]'', Aa Sim in the [[Science (career)|Scientist]] [[Careercareer]] will automatically be shocked if they use the interaction "Press Big Red Button" on a chemistry lab. The shock is non-lethal but gives the "Seriously Fried" moodlet and will not kill the Sim no matter how many times the interaction is used even if they already had the "Seriously Fried" moodlet before. In ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University|Discover University]]'', a Sim working on the [[Robotics]] Workstation has a chance of being shocked, giving the "Seriously Fried" moodlet. Should they continue working on the workstation and get shocked again with the moodlet, they will be electrocuted.
