Basketball

Basketball hoops or courts are objects which are available in The Sims base game and in The Sims 2: FreeTime.

The Sims
"Sims just can't resist a little b-ball action when their fun levels are low! Even the adults and neighbors like to join in. Make your house THE fun house in the neighborhood with the SuperDoop Basketball Hoop. No assembly required."

The Sims 2: FreeTime
Basketball returns in The Sims 2: FreeTime with the H-O-R-S-E of course Basket Ball Hoop. It builds Body skill, increases Sims' fitness, and builds enthusiasm for the Sports hobby. One or two Sims can play, but cannot play an actual game.

Sims will change into athletic wear when playing. If a Sim autonomously decides to shoot hoops, he or she will continue walking to the court even if the player cancels the action.

Trivia
The name is a reference to the variation of basketball known as H-O-R-S-E, and the saying that "a horse is a horse, of course".
