Arcade Machines in The Sims 3: Late Night
- Not to be confused with Pinball machine or Arcade.
Arcade games are objects in The Sims: Vacation, The Sims 2: University, The Sims 3: Late Night, and The Sims 4: Get Together. Arcade games help fill the fun motive.
The Sims[]
| Arcade game | |

| Game | The Sims: Vacation |
| Buyability | Buy mode |
| Object type(s) | Fun |
| Size | 1x1 |
The Sims: Vacation added two new arcade games that could be played both on home and community lots. If played on a community lot, it will cost the playing Sim a few Simoleons. Up to two Sims can play at a time, and both children and adults can play.
The arcade machine may occasionally "freeze on startup" when a Sim plays it. The Sim will pound at the machine a couple of times before the machine crashes. This is not permanent or serious, and the machine can be used again. However, if this occurred on a community lot, Sims will not get a refund.
