'''Walking''' is the normal way for [[Sim]]s to get around. However, in ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'' (prior to ''[[Bon Voyage]]''), player-controlled [[Sim]]s cannot normally walk from one [[lot]] to another. Instead, they have to get a [[Taxicab|taxi]] or use a [[car]].{{vgversion|TS2:NL}}. Visitors to residential lots, whether invited or random, will walk when entering or leaving the lot, as will [[townie]]s and neighborhood Sims who appear when Sims visit community lots.<ref group="n">[[Magic Town]] is an exception to this. When a Sim visits a Magic Town community lot, townies and neighborhood Sims will use the [[A Hole in the Ground|Holes in the Ground]] to enter and leave, as there are no sidewalks or roads in Magic Town.</ref>&nbsp; In addition, all [[NPC]]s in ''The Sims'', and several in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', will walk onto and off of a lot.
 
In ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', [[college]] students walk when going to classes or to take final exams. From ''[[Bon Voyage]]'' onward, Sims can walk between lots, but Sims cannot walk from a community lot to another lot unless they walked to that lot, and Sims who walked to a lot must walk in order to leave it. ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' allows schoolchildren to walk to [[school]] and older Sims to walk to work.

== Walking styles ==
In ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Sims will usually walk when told to interact with other objects. If they are told to "Go Here" to an empty floor tile, they will usually walk, but will run if the distance is long enough. In ''The Sims 2'', Sims who have at least five active points can be specifically told to run instead of walk. Playful Sims can also be told to skip, which is also faster than walking.
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', players are able to set a Sim's walk styles in [[Create a Sim]]. Walk styles available in Sims 4 Create a Sim demo and Sims 4 base game are: Default walk style, Perky walk, Snooty walk, Swagger walk, Feminine walk, Tough walk, Goofy walk, Sluggish walk, and Bouncy walk.
 
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Sims will often run if they are told to go to another lot. When told to "Go Here" by the player, the player can choose to force Sims to walk to the specified location, to run the entire way, or to automatically select the means and speed of travel based on the distance to the destination.
Sims in Sims 4 will also walk differently than their chosen walk style if they are [[Sleep|Tired]] or their [[Bladder]] need is low.
 
In all games, Sims will run rather than walk for certain urgent situations. For example, they will run to the [[toilet]] if their [[bladder]] is critically low, or to catch a [[carpool]] that is about to leave.
