==The Sims==
In ''[[The Sims]]'', terrain editing is very simplistic compared to later games. 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. Terraforming costs a small amount of money to complete depending on the extent of the changes done to the terrain.
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 tool that allows the player to add or remove grass manually.

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 editing 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.

Terrain paints in ''The Sims 3'' are free, unlike previous games.
===Interactions===
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]].
Line 39 ⟶ 43:
Terrain was heavily expanded in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]'', as many seasonal activities, such as raking leaves, making [[snowman|snowmen]], and constructing [[igloo]]s, can only be done on empty terrain.
