Arcade game
Game The Sims: Vacation
Buyable Buy mode
Type Fun
Size 1x1

The Sims introduced a pinball machine that Sims could play for fun. 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.
