So, just curious. I thought that the Sims were going to be able to get different colored bowling balls like the cover of the package suggested, but mine is just the same old black ball. Do they get different ones when they move up in the game or not? Also, can a sim play a full game or do they just play until you want them to stop?

You have to level up your skill. There's a total of 5 balls, I believe.

Sims unlock new balls as they level their bowling skill, you can change your bowling ball on the ball rack. They do play a full game, and you get a score at the end. The winning Sims is super confident too !

Ok from what I understand is sims that don't choose a ball from the rack will get a black ball, but if you choose a ball from the rack the first color is sky blue, so I think you have like 2 balls at start.

Ok, that's what I was thinking. Also, do you know if they can play a full game or is it just one of those things that you just stop them when you want them to stop?

I believe as your sims improve their bowling skill the more choices of balls you can pick from, they play a full game which I believe is 10 frames per sim.

Ok, I'll try it again, I tried to earlier, but she was already playing so maybe that's why I couldn't select it? I haven't had much time to fiddle around with it yet. Hoping to soon because it's fun. :)
