Fighting

&nbsp Fighting is the most negative social interaction present in all The Sims games. When two sims dislike each other enough, they can start a full on fistfight.

The Sims
Fighting in The Sims resembles a simple cartoon fight. When two sims attack each other, the fight is obscured by a cloud of dust. The sim with the higher Body skill is more likely to win the fight. If a sim loses a fight, they will leave the neighborhood forever.

Children can also have fights, but the never leave town if they lose.

The Sims 2
Fights in The Sims 2 are far more detailed and violent. The fighting sims are now visable through the cloud of dust, and will use a wide array of professional and comical fighting techniques. Sims with higher body skills are more likely to win fights.

Police officers and burglars will also fight each other during an arrest.

During a fight, other sims will react based on their personality. Mean sims will taunt the fighters, nice sims will be concerned, and shy sims will run and hide.

If a sim catches their children fighting, they will lecture the child.

After a fight, sims are given a memory of winning or losing a fight.

The Sims 3
Fighting returns in The Sims 3 with a few changes. Sims with high Athleticism more likely to win a fight, as well as sims with the Evil or Mean-Spirited traits. On the other hand, Cowards and Losers and less likely to win fights.

If a sim wins a fight, they will recive the 'Winner' moodlet. If they lose, the recive the 'Humiliated' and 'Sore' Moodlets.

In The Sims 3: World Adventures, the Martial Arts skill will also help sims win a fight.
