Home '''video games''' are objects in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''. They give [[fun]] to the Sims who use them, unless they have the [[Technophobe]] trait.{{Vgversion|TS3}} The SimLife Goggles, introduced in ''[[The Sims 3]]'', can be used for many other things, combined with cheats and/or mods. It's also the most expensive video game, and refers to "[[Wikipedia:virtual reality|virtual reality]]". They aren't present in ''[[The Sims 4]]'', instead gaming is performed on the phone and the tablet, along with the computer.__TOC__

In ''The Sims 2'', there is a basic video game console, the '''Maxis™ Game Simulator''', which can be purchased from [[buy mode]]. When placed next to a [[Television#The Sims 2|TV]], it allows one or two Sims to play. If two Sims play, they will not build their [[relationship]], but each will gain [[Social]]. Some games will use a different display when two Sims play. The video game console can break, though the chance of this happening appears to be small.
In the base game, ''SSX 3'' is ready to play and ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'' and ''SimCity 4 Rush Hour'' can be bought from video game racks on [[community lot]]s. These three titles can be seen if the player zooms in on a rack. ''[[FreeTime]]'' adds ''[[MySims]]'', ''FIFA 08'', ''Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars'', and ''Spore'' to video game racks. It also adds a freestanding video game rack which displays those games. but is otherwise identical to the base-game freestanding rack. All games, including those just bought, are available on any [[Computer#The Sims 2|computer]] or game console in the household. When a Sim visits a [[community lot]] that has a computer or video game console, all games which are available on the Sim's home lot will be available.
SSX 3 may become unavailable after another game is purchased. While it cannot be purchased from a rack, buying a video game console should make it available again. It is not necessary to keep a video game console bought for this purpose.
[[Personality#Qualities|Sloppy]] Sims may fail to put the controller away when they are finished playing. A Sim can be told to put the controllers away by clicking on the game console and selecting "Put Away Controllers". Players should note that the controllers may be seen as disposable, and "Dispose" may appear when clicking on a controller. At times, Sims, particularly Neat Sims, may autonomously attempt to Dispose of a controller.
In ''FreeTime'', [[Rod Humble]] will deliver a package to households the first time they're loaded. The package contains a computer which has a preview of ''[[The Sims 3]]'' that is only available by opening the box that computer comes in. The video includes walking on the street, changing the shoes of a Sim and recoloring furniture.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the fun gain rate of the video games depends on the TV set. The higher the fun rating a TV has, the faster the fun need will increase.
*The expansion pack consoles are a reference to the [[wikipedia:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]] (due to its lack of highly acclaimed first party games on launch), the [[wikipedia:Xbox 360|Xbox 360]] (due to the number of AAA violent games) and the [[wikipedia:Wii|Wii]] (peripheral controls).
