The Television is a buy mode object. The video game system[TS2][TS3] 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. Repairing a television set will increase the mechanical/handiness skill but there is a chance of electrocution as with all electronic devices.
(Note: In The Sims, Sims cannot build skills by watching or repairing televisions, nor can they work out in front of one.)
- Hobbies: With FreeTime the television can be used to build enthusiasm in the Cuisine, Sports, Film and Literature, Music and Dance, Science, Tinkering, and Fitness hobbies. With a video game system it can also build Games enthusiasm.
