How much television do your sims watch?

You can learn cooking from this?my sims learned cooking by actually cooking, I only let them watch news,children and a little bit of romance/action. They don’t use it all the time though, probably 1-2 hrs a day. When they do watch it, it’s the adults who get bored of watching a kids channel. I just keep a tv in the house to add to the living room

It's a tool to either resolve the fun need or to get certain moods for situations/jobs for me.

I want to use it more, but there are always better options available for filling the fun need.

I use it all the time, mainly because they can eat and watch TV at the same time without either being slowed down much.

No computers and no TV. Can't say I'd want to live in my game.

It's a good way to boost fun, but there are so many things to do in this game that watching TV is kind of ordinary by comparison.

I have removed all tv, stereo and virtual reality gaming rigs from my builds. They are far too distracted when any of these items are around. A few of my Sims are writers, gamers or programmers, so I generally have a computer in one of their bedrooms with the door locked to everyone but the household.

I think that's the closest to how it works in my game. I play with free will off, so I do not have to hide the TV from my sims. I buy them one when they can afford it and then more or less forget that thing exists. Sometimes they have family movie nights or maybe I make them watch the news for whatever reason. But that's rare.
They have computers, consoles games and the 3-d-gaming mat, so they do not miss out in the fun department.

My Sims only make salads or quick meals until they get their cooking skills up, which goes up nicely watching the cooking channel while eating said salads. Once they get a couple levels under their belt, I have them cloud/stargaze for inspiration before cooking anything, they can usually level up every time they cook and it's almost always excellent.

I like to have them watch movies as a family, with friends or alone for fun too. Other than the cooking show and movies, they don't watch much else. Kids will sometimes watch the Kids channel and if I have a comedian they'll watch the Comedy channel, sometimes they'll watch the News or Sports too. Until Seasons, that was pretty much it for the television.

Now I discovered Sims can watch the Fireplace channel without having to upgrade and it'll warm them up! I love that! :)

*Note - I don't play with full autonomy very often so there's no issues with my YA & up Sims watching the Kids channel or anything like that. They watch what I assign them to watch. :)

My current sim doesn’t have a TV but I do let some of my families have them. I like letting families watch films together or have sims watch the cooking channel. I feel like a hypocrite if I don’t let my sims have a TV because I love watching TV in real life but I don’t want my sims to watch it constantly.
