The Television is a buy mode object. The video game system is compatible with any TV set, if placed close enough.
Different styles exist, but they all function the same.
- Motives: Watching television increases a Sim's Fun motive. Sitting in front of the television allows a Sim to also regain Comfort. Several Sims can watch television together and improve their relationship while gaining Social.
- Skills: A Sim can use a television to "Work Out" if there is sufficient space in front of the set. Watching the cooking channel increases the cooking skill.
