Bear

A bear is an animal species that have showed up from time to time in the Sims franchise, whether as actual animals or as costumes. The bear animals are generally untameable and therefore usually not considered to be pets.
==The Sims: Hot Date==
Claire the Bear is an occasionally appearing NPC if The Sims: Hot Date is installed. She is known to eat food from the roadside trash can and from beehives, and to enter Sims' houses without permission. She likes teddy bears (sometimes striking up a conversation with them), but cries if she sees a bear-skin rug.
==The Sims 4==
 A bear is a type of costume that Sims can wear in The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat, The Sims 4: City Living, The Sims 4: Parenthood and The Sims 4: Lovestruck. Bears also appear as NPCs in Outdoor Retreat, usually met in the area surrounding the campground in Granite Falls. They are randomly generated townies dressed in the bear costume and walk around the camping area, usually trying to talk to other Sims.
When Sims are near another Sim wearing the bear suit, they will become tense and gain the options to "Rant about Obnoxious Bear" and "Gossip about Bear" with other Sims. Sims in a bear suit have ability to roar at another Sim, which will make them tense as well. However, this mean interaction is only available to Sims with the bear suits from Outdoor Retreat and City living, so Sims wearing the Parenthood bear suits cannot roar at others. When Sims are near familiar bear suit wearers, such as other household members, they will not become tense unlike with the NPCs, if they do not roar. The interaction to complain about bears also only becomes available if the household member roars and gossiping about a bear never appears with household members wearing the suit, and only when NPCs bears are around.
In Parenthood, the fruit themed bear suits are available to both kids and adults, though the special interactions and moodlets do not appear on both life stages. Children will sometimes gain the "I'm a Bear!" childhood phase, which make the child autonomously change their clothing into a fruit bear costume. They will also get a sad moodlet if not wearing the outfit and parents of the said child can wear the outfit with them.
In Lovestruck, a sad bear suit is available to adults after unlocking it by helping The Ring Bear, a Sim who wears the costume in Ciudad Enamorada.
