'''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> 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. |
||
In [[The Sims: 2]], from [[Bon Voyage]] and carried onward to later expansion packs, Sims can be directed to use walking as their traveling means to visit community lots and back home. |
|||
In ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', NPC witches will always arrive on a lot by a flying [[Magic broom|broom]] instead of walking. The player can direct a playable witch to either fly with a broom, walk or choose any other means of transport to arrive onto a community lot. In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', witches will use a broom as their default long-distance transportation, even if they do not have one in their inventory. |

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 2]]'', Sims typically pace at casual walking space. Other option Sims have of getting around is by running or sprinting, either of which is available based on the Sim's personality. Children tend to run, but that may be due whether or not they have active personality.{{confirm}} Other sims often just walk at normal pace, with the exception of under special circumstances (when somebody is [[Moving|moving out]] or [[fire]] occurs, they will run to the said event). Likewise, they can be command by the player, but the action can and will cancel If another interaction is in the queue. |
|||
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. |
|||
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. |

Sims in ''The Sims 4'' will walk differently than their chosen walk style, if they are [[Sleep|tired]] or their [[bladder]] need is low. Having strong [[emotion]]s such as [[angry]] will also make Sims walk differently. |
