Basketball

Basketball hoops or courts are a type of object available in The Sims, The Sims 2: FreeTime, and The Sims 4: City Living. They are also available for purchase from The Sims 3 Store.
==The Sims==
Basketball in The Sims is played on the SuperDoop Basketball Hoop, which must be placed outside. If Unleashed is installed, Sim Central Park in Old Town has a couple of basketball hoops.
While adult Sims don't gain much fun from it, and usually won't stay long, children stay around 35% longer.

==The Sims 2: FreeTime==
Basketball returns in The Sims 2: FreeTime with the H-O-R-S-E of course Basket Ball Hoop.This is the spelling used in the game files. It builds body skill, increases Sims' fitness, and builds enthusiasm for the sports hobby. One or two Sims can play, and will take turns making baskets from different angles, but cannot play an actual game.
Sims will change into athletic wear when playing. If a Sim autonomously decides to shoot hoops, he or she will continue walking to the court even if the player cancels the action.This mod from Cyjon fixes this.
The object includes both the goal and the court, and it can be placed on flooring or terrain. There are two versions, one with a green court, and one in which the court is invisible. It must be placed outdoors because the top of the goal is higher than the top of a wall. However, it is possible to build an indoor basketball court by either placing the object first, then building a two-story (or higher) structure around it, or by using the moveobjects cheat.
The name is a reference to the variation of basketball known as H-O-R-S-E, and the saying that "a horse is a horse, of course".

==The Sims 3 Store==
Basketball returns in The Sims 3 Store as the Rim Rockin’ Basketball Hoop, which costs 593 SimPoints. As in The Sims 2: FreeTime, Sims will change into athletic wear when playing. If a Sim autonomously decides to shoot hoops, he or she will continue walking to the court even if the player cancels the action. Sims can either practice dunking or challenge another Sim to a basketball contest.
There is a glitch where the basketball does not appear in a Sim's hands when they play on the court. This can be fixed by installing KT's Store Fixes.

==The Sims 4: City Living==
Basketball hoops were reintroduced with the City Living expansion pack. Playing basketball provides a boost in fun, but reduces hygiene and builds the fitness skill.
Sims can choose to practice shooting, practice dunks, practice dribbling, shootaround, or "Dream Big". Sims can also challenge another Sim to a dunk or shootout contest.
Winning a basketball game will give Sims the happy emotion. However, Sims will get angry or sad if they lose a basketball game.

==Gallery of basketball courts==
Though areas intended to be 2-hoop courts are hard to come by in the Sims franchise, and often also hard to identify as courts, there are a few cases where they fit very well if hoops are added to them manually:
