A sauna is a comfort-boosting object in The Sims Bustin' Out (handheld), The Sims 2: Bon Voyage and The Sims 4: Spa Day. It is also available after purchasing Sunlit Tides from The Sims 3 Store.

The SimSauna is occasionally stocked at the various furniture stores in SimValley (except Nicki Knacks' Bric-A-Brac) for fluctuating prices. It massively improves the Comfort motive. While sitting, it also improves the Energy and Entertainment motives somewhat, but only if the Comfort motive isn't already full.
A Sim can sleep on its bench, though it will take longer for the Sim to improve Energy to 100% this way than with most regular beds.
No actual water or steam is seen to emerge from the sauna.
The Sims 2: Bon Voyage[]
| Sweat It Out Sauna | |
|---|---|
| |
| Primitive sweat tents would provide early hunters and gatherers a chance to collect themselves, clear their minds, and sweat off any troubles they brought with them. The Sweat It Out Sauna has transformed this ancient ritual into an experience that is now much easier — no tent building necessary — and more communal, allowing several people to sweat off their troubles at once. | |

The Sweat It Out Sauna is a sauna featured in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage. It can only be used by teenagers, adults, and elders. Sims will change into a towel wrapped around their waist or body before entering the sauna. While inside, they will sweat often, indicated by a wiping of their brow. Up to five Sims can use the same sauna at a time, with the lower bench filling up first. Once two Sims are seated on the lower bench, any additional Sims that use the sauna will climb up onto the upper bench. The lower bench always has a vacant spot, intended for use by Sims on the upper bench should they wish to enter or leave. Sims on the lower bench may frequently have to shuffle over in order to allow Sims behind them to exit. Sims will autonomously socialize in the sauna.
The sauna also serves as a WooHoo spot, and Sims can WooHoo or Try for Baby in a sauna. When done on a community lot, it will give the "Public WooHoo" memory.
If Open for Business is installed, Servos cannot use the sauna.
If Seasons is installed, using a sauna will increase a Sim's internal temperature.
Saunas must be surrounded by a wall in order to exist. When purchased in buy mode, the sauna's walls will come pre-built, and will follow the sauna when moved. The walls can be repainted and reused, but cannot be removed without also removing the sauna. If the player removes one of the wall sections needed for the sauna, the sauna will be sold for its current value.
Saunas come in two colors — light and medium — and have panelings of the same color to match in build mode (titled "Heatonism Light Panel" and "Heatonism Medium Panel", respectively).

The Steam-It-Up Sauna is available in The Sims 3 after purchasing the Sunlit Tides world through The Sims 3 Store for 2,450 SimPoints. It contains typical sauna functions with bench seating for 2 (Sims cannot nap on it), an integrated special bathtub with entirely unique options, and a tiny fountain.
Sims can turn the tiny fountain effect on its inside on and off. It is also possible to WooHoo in the sauna.
In Buy Mode, it is found in "By Function" → "Plumbing" → "⛬ Miscellaneous Plumbing", and in "By Room" → "Bathroom" → "Tubs". Despite the object having no stats in Buy Mode, it is able to improve the Hunger and Energy motives. The object has 5 small slots and no large slots.
The available interactions include:
- Enjoy Refreshing Steam: Gives the
"Refreshed" moodlet, which disappears when Sims exit the sauna. Excessive use will give the Sim the "Pruned" moodlet. SimBots[TS3:A] can use it, but will get the "Feeling Rusty" moodlet while in the same room as a sauna where steam has been turned on. Slightly improves the Energy motive. - Sit: Works as a hybrid between bench sitting (in that Sims will stand up again before long) and "Enjoy Refreshing Steam" (in that it gives the "Refreshed" moodlet even if there is no visible steam).
- Hydrotherapy: Gives the "Recover Like a Sports Star" moodlet. It takes away the Sore and Fatigued moodlets obtained from working out. A Ducksworth of Bathington is automatically spawned when filling the tub, but it does not give the "Duck Time" moodlet.
- Revitalizing Mud Bath: Gives the "Inner Peace" moodlet, which provides an extra day of life when used.
- Make Steamed Veggies: If the Sim has at least one vegetable in their inventory, they can also steam vegetables in the sauna as a meal.
- Turn Waterfall On/Off: In the fountain in the inner corner, small bits of water will slide down along the shaped wall.
The sauna's bathtub has a glitch similar to the one for bunk beds, where if one side of the bathtub is against a wall, a Sim will often choose to enter the bathtub through the wall successfully.

The Sims 4: Spa Day[]
The StoneZone Sauna and Artificial Fever Room are two saunas that were introduced in The Sims 4: Spa Day. They can be used by children and older. Much like The Sims 2, Sims will change into a towel wrapped around their waist or body before entering the sauna.
Sims can WooHoo or can try for a baby in a sauna, and teens can Mess Around. Sims will get the "Hot N' Steamy" moodlet, which lasts for 4 hours and makes the Sim flirty.
Sims can die if they use the sauna too frequently. If a Sim uses the sauna when they have the "Superfluous Steaming" moodlet, they will die.[1]
Sims with level 5 mischief can play a prank by using the "sabotage with sulfur" interaction. The next sim to use the Sauna will get an hour long -1 uncomfortable moodlet.
The Sauna also has upgrades available for sims with the handiness skill. These include self-cleaning (no need to clean) and waterproof circuitry (will not break).
Artificial Fever Room[]
