|desc = Rupert Simavarious loved the violin. Unfortunately, from the first time he picked up a violin and bow it was obvious that he should never, ever be allowed to play one again. His love of the violin was so strong, though, that he vowed that someday people would remember his playing so he set out to make a violin that would turn his shrieks and squeaks to sublime sounds. He never accomplished his goal, but the end results were some of the finest violins ever created. His techniques were used to create the Simavarious VII - a new line of old beauty.

In ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'', a violin can be played for [[fun]] by [[child]]ren and up. Playing it also builds the [[Creativity (skill)|creativity]] skill and increases [[enthusiasm]] in the [[Music and Dance]] hobby.
A violin can be played for tips by [[teen]]s and up, but will not sync with a [[piano]], [[guitar]], [[bass]], or [[Drums|drum set]]. Players should note that, if ''FreeTime'' is not [[The Sims 2: FreeTime/patch|patched]], the tip jar will leave an unusable tile after being picked up.<ref group="n">The patch will not remove tiles already created by the tip jar. The tiles must be removed using the [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=1609.0 Stuck Object Remover].</ref>
There is [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=315995 a mod] at [[ModTheSims|Mod The Sims]] which will keep visitors from using the violin.

}}In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the '''Fit as a Fiddle Violin''' is [http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:65647 available as premium content] from [[The Sims 3 Store|''The Sims 3'' Store]] for 823 SimPoints. It is also part of [http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:65646 The Duke of Bows Renaissance Faire] set. Downloading the set or the violin also introduces the [[Instrument skill|violin skill]]. It can be played by Sims aged [[Teenager|teen]] and above.

==The Sims 4==
The violin appears in ''[[The Sims 4]]'', along with an associated [[Violin (skill)|violin skill]]. Both violins have a Fun rating of 3 and boost the player's violin skill. Until Sims reach at least level 3 in the skill, playing the violin can irritate others and in turn embarrass the player so it might be best to practice alone. Children have special child-sized violins, which increase the [[Creativity (The Sims 4)|Creativity]] skill, rather than a violin skill.
