A tip jar is a spawned object that appears in The Sims games. It's commonly depicted as a spherical glass jar with a green Simoleon symbol on a piece of faded paper taped to it. When a sim engages in a certain activity, they will set this object down next to them before they start the activity. Sometimes the option to set down a jar is delineated by the words "For Tips" being a part of the command; other times using the jar is the default. Other sims passing by will come up to the performing sim, watch briefly, and then drop money in the jar. How much money was dropped can be discerned by how much money the donating sim lost, however the performing sim won't have the money added to their wallet until they pick up the jar. How much money a watching NPC will donate is usually determined by how skilled the performing sim is at whatever they're doing. When a sim finishes performing, they will go over to the jar and collect their earnings. Depending on how much money they amassed, the sim will go through either a happy, neutral, or disappointed animation, then put the jar away. Activities involving tip jars are usually indefinite and only end when the player cancels that action, or the sim becomes too unhappy to continue.

Bon Voyage
On Twikkii Island there is the Fire Dancer NPC who will stop their performance to teach your sim fire dancing as a secret skill. While the NPC does not themselves collect tips, after learning to fire dance, your sim will have the option to fire dance for tips. NPC fire dancers can also be spawned at the community lots of base neighborhoods if the lot is customized to include a fire dancer mat.
FreeTime
Like other instruments in the game, sims can play the violin for tips. If FreeTime is not patched, a glitch will cause the tip jar to make the tile it is placed on unusable.
Apartment Life
Break Dancing
Break dancing functions almost identically to fire dancing, only with a different NPC found in the base neighborhood. NPC break dancers will spawn where ever a cardboard break dancing mat is placed on a community lot.
Human Statue
The Human Statue is the only appearance of a tip jar in which an NPC is performing for tips and a playable sim cannot emulate them. Playable sims can only donate to a human statue's tip jar.
