[[File:Social Bunny.png|56px|left]]The '''Social Bunny''' is an [[NPC]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' that visits teen and older Sims when their [[social]] [[motives|need]] is too low. If a child or younger Sim's social need gets too low, they will not receive a Socialsocial Bunnybunny but may be taken by the [[Socialsocial Workerworker]]. Like the [[Therapist]], social bunnies will only thebe lonelyvisible while the [[Sim]] canwho seeis it.hallucinating them is selected.
 
Social Bunnies have incomplete Sim data, and therefore should not be made playable or interacted with outside their designated in-game purpose.▼
 
Just having the Socialsocial Bunnybunny around raises the social need, but the lonely Sim can interactperform withsocial himinteractions anywaywith tothem raiseas itwell, ranging from friendly kisses to outright [[fighting]]. The Socialsocial Bunnybunny leaves when the bar is back up to the halfway point. Although the Socialsocial Bunnybunny automatically raises the social need, players should be aware that if a Sim is with the Socialsocial Bunnybunny and they're not doing anything together, the Sim's comfort will drop quickly.▼

==Multiple Bunnies==▼
[[File:Blue Social Bunny.png|thumb|left|The blue social bunny]]If multiple Sims are in social failure, the other bunnies will be seen when a lonely Sim is active. However, they will be invisible, and cannot be interacted with.
 
▲==Multiple Bunniesbunnies==
The bunnies may interact with each other, though. Social Bunnies come in three colors which are blue, yellow, and pink. Generally, Social Bunnies of a different color will usually be friendly with each other, with blue and pink ones often going romantic. However, much different sparks fly when two bunnies of the same color meet, as they will usually fight with each other.

==Friend bug==
There has also been a bug where the Social Bunny can actually become a friend. (e.g. he comes to parties, goesand oncan vacation,be visit,called and possibly allover the otherphone thingsand that normal friends caninvited do)over. Occasionally, there is also a bug where Sims will comebring homethe fromsocial workbunny bringinghome as a friend homefrom work, who turns out to bealthough the Socialsocial Bunny.

==The Social Bunny vs. The Tragic Clown==
When [[The Sims series|''The Sims'' series]] started, the social bunny was not the first NPC to show up to depressed Sim's housespredecessor to cheer them up, it was done byis the [[Tragic Clown]], introduced in the''[[The firstSims: gameLivin' Large]]''.

==References in other games==
Although Socialsocial Bunniesbunnies do not appear in ''The Sims 3'', there are number of Easter eggs dedicated to them,. forFor example, "Social Bunnies United" is the name of a charity [[Good (The Sims 3)|Good]] Sims can donate to.{{Vgversion|TS3}} There are several objects containing references to the Socialsocial Bunnybunny, including a [[:File:Bunnydancing.jpg|poster of the Social Bunny]], a music box from ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'' containing a miniature Social Bunny, a bookshelf from ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|Generations]]'' with a stuffed Socialsocial Bunnybunny doll, and a prop statue of it in ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime|Showtime]]''. Sims may also paint a [[:File:Painting brilliant medium 2.png|brilliant medium painting]] of the Socialsocial Bunnybunny or see one on the KidZ Zone station on the [[television]] (one may also be seen on the Kidztube station in ''The Sims 2'').

==Trivia==
[[Image:social bunny.PNG|thumb|A Sim having a conversation with his Social Bunny]]
*Sims can unlock the Socialsocial Bunnybunny outfits in [[CAS]] with Debug Mode on.
[[File:Socialbunnytherapist.png|thumb|200px|Social Bunny gossiping with Therapist]]
*If a Socialsocial Bunnybunny and the [[Therapist]] are on the same lot at the same time, the Therapist will gossip with the Socialsocial Bunnybunny about a random Sim before leaving.
*For some Sims, the Socialsocial Bunnybunny is a fear. It takes away 3,500 [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|Aspirationaspiration]] points.
*All Socialsocial Bunniesbunnies have the same personality: 5 points in Neatneat, Outgoingoutgoing, Activeactive, and Nicenice, and 10 points in Playfulplayful.
*All Socialsocial Bunniesbunnies from [[Desiderata Valley]] resemble normal Sims in their default head-shotsheadshots. This oddity will change whenif the Desiderata Valley Socialsocial Bunniesbunnies are spawned in-game.
**However all Desiderata Valley social bunnies must be manually moved to the NPC Sim Bin using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] in order for them to show up in-game, since none of them are placed in the NPC Sim Bin at the start of the game.
*Unlike other neighborhoods that consist of 2 male Socialsocial Bunniesbunnies and 1 female one, [[Belladonna Cove]] has 3 male Socialsocial Bunniesbunnies. This can be proven through [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].
*The Social Bunny is likely a reference to Frank from the film ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0246578/?ref_=ttmc_mc_tt Donnie Darko]''. In the film, Donnie begins to see a one-eyed man in a bunny suit named Frank whom no one else is able to see, similar to Sims hallucinating and seeing the Social Bunny, who also has one eye, when their Social need is low.▼

*If the Sim is near the bottom of a staircase, it is possible for the social bunny to spawn in the 4x1 area under it.
