Line 3: ==The Sims== In ''[[The Sims]]'', terrain ~~was~~is generally very simplistic. Players can raise or lower the terrain as a basic form of terraforming, although Sims will typically have difficulty using objects placed on a slope. In addition, players cannot build walls near or on sloped tiles, nor can they add floor tiles of any kind. When the player raises or lowers the terrain, the grass will die off and will grow back on its own over time. With ''[[The Sims: Hot Date\|Hot Date]]'',{{confirm}} players could add water to the terrain (previously, this was only possible through the use of cheats) that allowed for natural ponds and rivers. ''Hot Date'' also introduced a ~~Grass~~grass tool that ~~allowed~~allows the player to add or remove grass manually. Unlike later games, Sims do not have the option to cloud watch or stargaze on empty terrain. If ''[[The Sims: Vacation\|Vacation]]'' is installed, Sims can build [[snowman\|snowmen]] or sandcastles on terrain, depending on which area of [[Vacation Island]] they were on. They can also rent a metal detector and will roam around the lot, uncovering buried items on empty terrain. ==The Sims 2== Terrain editing ~~was expanded~~ in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' is more variable than in ''The Sims''. Editing the terrain no longer kills off grass, and floor tiles can be placed on sloped terrain. In addition, while ''The Sims'' was limited to basic hills, slopes, and valleys, ''The Sims 2'' allows for much more extreme slopes and creations to be made. Sims can watch clouds during the day and stargaze at night; these interactions can be done on empty terrain located outdoors. Sims and [[dog]]s{{vgversion\|TS2:P}} can [[digging\|dig]] on any piece of empty terrain.{{vgversion\|TS2:BV}} If ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime\|FreeTime]]'' is installed, Sims can only birdwatch and [[bug collecting\|collect bugs]] on empty terrain—the interactions will not be available on any outdoor floor tiles. In the [[winter]], snow-related interactions, such as making [[snowman\|snowmen]] and having snowball fights, are only available on empty terrain. ===Terrain paint=== By default, lots in ''The Sims 2'' will take on the terrain type of the neighborhood it is placed in. For example, a lot placed in a desert-themed neighborhood will have desert terrain paint by default. Players can override the default terrain and paint their own using the "Terrain Brush" tool in [[build mode]]. Only exposed terrain (that is, terrain not covered by floor tiles) can be painted. Terrain paint can be removed later on by selecting the tool and ctrl-clicking on the terrain paint. {{Expand list}} Line 32: ==The Sims 3== The collecting system in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' comes with collectible spawners. These spawners only spawn collectibles on terrain. Sims can only [[Gardening (The Sims 3)\|grow plants]] on terrain, unless they use a [[planter bowl]]. ~~Sims can only [[Gardening (The Sims 3)\|grow plants]] on terrain, unless they use a [[planter bowl]].~~ In ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions\|Ambitions]]'', Sims can build the [[miner]] with the [[inventing]] skill, which allows them to start drilling on any vacant terrain.
