Massage

A massage is a kind of relaxation Sims can receive, which is generally from a massage table. Sims can give or receive a massage to another Sim if the massage table is present on the lot.
==The Sims: Superstar==
Massages can be obtained at the Impruv U Pettegrew Massage Table introduced in The Sims: Superstar. The massage table can be purchased on both residential and community lots. If placed on a community lot, it will automatically spawn a masseuse; otherwise, the Sim must pick up the phone and hire one. On a residential lot, all massages are free (although hiring the masseuse is not), and Sims can choose from a Normal, Rough, or Energy massage. On community lots, Sims can choose from a Normal, Rough, or Chi massage, each of which costs §135. Receiving a massage will boost a Sim's comfort motives.
==The Sims 2: Bon Voyage==
Massage is a feature in The Sims 2: Bon Voyage. It is one of the main attractions in each vacation destination. By default, all Sims know the Swedish Massage. Each vacation destination has its own unique massage, which Sims can receive for §100 or learn for §500 from the masseuse. Learning a massage will enable Sims to give it to other Sims, and get a vacation memento. They cannot, however, teach it to other Sims. The massages are Deep Tissue Massage from Three Lakes, Acupressure Massage from Takemizu Village, and Hot Stone Massage from Twikkii Island.
Massages are given via the Soft'n'Tender Massage Table. Only an adult or elder can give or receive a massage.This mod allows teens to give and receive massages. If there are more than two adults or elders on a lot, clicking on the massage table will allow the selected Sim to give a massage to a specified Sim, or ask another Sim to give them a massage.
Receiving a massage replenishes a Sim's comfort, energy, and fun motives, as well as social which also builds relationship with the giver. Different types of massage have different effects; i.e. Acupressure Massage gives the most energy, while Swedish Massage gives the most comfort. Below is the list of massage effects:
Massage 	Comfort	Energy	Fun	Learned from
Acupressure	1 	4 	1 	Takemizu Village
Deep Tissue	2 	2 	2 	Three Lakes
Hot Stone 	2 	1 	3 	Twikkii Island
Swedish 	4 	1 	1 	-
With Open for Business, Sims can sell massages to customers in a business. Customers won't autonomously buy a massage though, so they have to be offered one.

==The Sims 3==
In The Sims 3, Sims can receive a massage as a romantic interaction, from the spa rabbit hole, from their butler, from certain upgraded resort buildings, or from the massage premium content. Receiving any of these massages can get rid of the "Sore" moodlet, as well as the wish to get a massage.
===Spa / Resort===
From the spa, Sims can purchase Shiatsu Massage (§50), Swedish Massage (§250), or Deep Tissue (§500). Getting these massages will give Sim "Relaxed" moodlet for 12 hours with +25, +50, or +75 mood depending on the massage.
===Infinite Zen Massage Table===
The Infinite Zen Massage Table is available from The Sims 3 Store both as a standalone item for 468 SimPoints, and as a pack-in with Sunlit Tides Gold Edition. It has 5 types of massages. Unlike Bon Voyage, the massage table from the store doesn't have a masseuse NPC, so Sims must ask from or offer massage to anyone.The Romantic Massage can only be offered to or asked from the Sim's romantic interest. Using the massage table is free from charge, but the table itself costs §550.
The types of massages from the massage table are the following:
* Swedish Massage - "Relaxed" moodlet
* Deep Tissue Massage - "Loose and Limber" moodlet
* Acupuncture Massage - "Finding Nirvana" or "Pinched Nerve" moodlet
* Hot Stone Massage - "Pebble Prepped" or "Hot Stones" moodlet
* Romantic Massage - "High Fertility" moodlet

===Plumbots with the Friendly Functions trait chip===
If a Plumbot has that trait chip, a Sim can "Instruct Plumbot to…", and then choose either Body Massage or Shoulder Massage.
Shoulder Massage is exactly that, whereas Body Massage involves the Plumbot holding and rapidly shaking the target Sim in mid-air. Either choice will increase the relationship a bit, but neither choice gives any of the above moodlets. Body Massage can sometimes give the shaken Sim the "Shaken, not Stirred" +10 moodlet for 3 hours, but not always.
===Sharper Sim Foot Massage Chair===
Available as a standalone item for 188 SimPoints. The chair can do:
*Deluxe Foot Massage (Gives the Relaxed moodlet for 12 hours, and improves the Fun motive considerably.)
*Quick Foot Massage (Gives the Soulpeace moodlet for 8 hours, and improves the Fun motive a bit.)
It is considered an electric item and can thus be sabotaged by Technophobes. Although the Store page's banner shows a Sim falling asleep in the chair, the chair has no Nap interactions.
==The Sims 4: Spa Day==
With The Sims 4 Spa Day, Sims can receive massages from the Massage Chair or Massage Table. As Sims build their wellness skill, they gain the ability to perform certain massages at home.
