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[edit | edit source]
Basketball returns in The Sims 2: FreeTime with the H-O-R-S-E of course Basket Ball Hoop.[n 1] It builds Body skill, increases Sims' fitness, and builds enthusiasm for the Sportshobby. 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.[n 2]
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[edit | edit source]
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.
Rim Rockin' Basketball Hoop[edit | edit source]
+Athletic skill
The Sims 4: City Living[edit | edit source]
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.

With all the excitement surrounding the release of the Supernatural expansion pack, it seemed like almost everyone forgot that there was a little something else being released the same week.That little something else is the Level Up Collection, a set in The Sims 3 Store featuring the return of the basketball hoop as well as a basketball arcade game along with 8 other items. Currently the set is on sale for 1,250 SimPoints until September 20th. After that the price will be bumped up to 1,650 SimPoints. Also released was the Man Cave Compilation which includes the Level Up Collection as well as It's Game Time! and Championship Dreams for 3,000 SimPoints but 2,600 from the early bird sale lasting until the 20th.
An interesting thing to point out is that the number of premium content included is misleading..ish. There's an object called The Galactic Simball Arcade that's a redesign of the Atomic Jack Planet Attack Pinball Machine we got with the Fun for Kids of All Ages set we got about a year ago. So really there's three premium content items. Man, we've been really spoiled lately between the three in this set and the three that came with Sunlit Tides (if you bought the Gold Edition).
So here's the first of the three premium items, the Rim Rockin' Basketball Hoop.
![Sims 3 Rim Rockin Basketball Hoop Free Sims 3 Rim Rockin Basketball Hoop Free](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gNARdqnEbUs/maxresdefault.jpg)
There's three new moodlets:
-Burnin’ Up the Hoops
-King of the Court
-Rim Wrecker
Here's the description for the Rim Wrecker (lasts 4 hrs with +25 mood):
'What happens when an unstoppable force meets a movable object? Apparently you shatter the backboard. Well done!'
As you can see in the beginning of the video Ethan threw his ball with a trail of fire. That's the only time I've seen that so far and I'm not sure if there's anything special about it since he still missed the shot anyway.
Thanks to matrix54 I got the idea of trying to fit the basketball hoop into the wall of a garage using the moveobjects on cheat for the typical suburban driveway look.
Since it's obviously made to stand on its own this doesn't work too well. Practicing hoops seems to work okay, but when Cade practiced dunking he scored but landed halfway through the garage door and got stuck, throwing route failure tantrums. Taking away the garage door didn't change things since when Cade shattered the backboard (which almost instantly repairs itself) he went straight through the wall. Not to mention the back of the hoop sticks through the wall.
If you have a long driveway you could still try having the hoop stand on its own as long as there's still room for cars. One thing I'm not so sure about is that the net briefly glows when sims make a slam dunk. Kind of treads on the realism line personally. Also, only two sims can use it at once. So even though I was doing a family outing with four sims, only two could go at a time.
The second premium content item is the Buzzer Beater Free Throw Machine.
And I'm free! FREE THROWIN'!
Huh.where was I? Oh right. The Buzzer Beater Free Throw Machine costs 400 SimPoints individually if bought through shop mode in-game. This object is another athletic skill-building activity. Put two of them next to each other and two sims can play against each other to see who gets the better score! With all the arcade objects EA has been adding over the past few expansion packs, this is a great addition. I added them to a sports bar where they fit in pretty well.
Of course I can't forget the rest of the objects that came with this set! There aren't many but what's there is pretty nice.

The Galactic Simball Arcade:The new big screen TV (almost as big as the Showtime one), sectional seating, coffee table, painting with 3 stencils (first one looks like Tiny Tower characters?), and video game console.

The new foosball table. Goes well with the Futureshock sets!
Overall I'm in love with this set. If you know me from Mod The Sims I'm always in favour of adding more sports to the game. The athletic department was sorely lacking but with this set, the rock wall, the chin up bar from Showtime, and the return of the Free Time soccer net with Seasons it's filling up nicely. If sports or hobbies in general are a big part of your gameplay I highly recommend it, at the early bird sale price of 1,250 SimPoints it's a steal. However, I agree with Aznsensei's review on the point that there should have been some new clothes to go with the set too. Seems to be the way the store's going recently, either all objects or all clothes. If you already own Town Life Stuff or Diesel Stuff, the clothes from those packs do go nicely.
Final score: 9/10.Highly recommended!
If there's any other store sets, or even expansion or stuff packs (own all except Katy Perry Sweet Treats and Supernatural) you'd like me to review, let me know in the comments section below and I'll see what I can do.
