Game console

Home video games are objects in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. They give fun to the Sims who use them, unless they have the Technophobe trait. The SimLife Goggles, introduced in The Sims, can be used for many other things, combined with cheats and/or mods. It's also the most expensive video game, and refers to "virtual reality".

The Sims
One of the Electronics items in The Sims is the "SSRI Virtual Reality Set", a pair of VR goggles that Sims wear for fun.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, there is a basic video game console which can be purchased from buy mode and placed next to a TV, and which allows one or two Sims to play. Additional games can be bought from the video game rack (similar to the magazine rack) on community lots. All games, including those bought, are available on any computer or game console in the household. In the base game, SSX 3 is ready to play and The Sims Bustin' Out and SimCity 4 Rush Hour can be bought. FreeTime adds MySims and FIFA 08 to video game racks.

In The Sims 2: FreeTime, a Sim by the name of Rod Humble will deliver a package to the household which contains a computer. The computer has a preview of The Sims 3 video game and is only available on that computer. The video includes walking on the street, changing the shoes of a sim and recoloring furniture.
