Say hello to the Ding & Ditch Smart Doorbell
This doorbell brings a modern realistic touch to your home in 8 different colors. With 3 Detection Modes and Visual Ring, you'll never miss a visitor or a delivery.
The original EA door knock interaction is still available however the doorbell is simply more desirable. You may want to keep up with maintenance otherwise friends may receive an unexpected shock, but once it totally breaks, Sims will revert to knocking.

Upgrades
- Custom Ringtones: In addition to the classic doorbell sound from The Sims 3, 5 additional ringtones from the game are available once a Sim completes this upgrade.
- Plum MX Blue Button Switch: With a few parts your Sim can nearly double the number of presses the button can withstand.
- Plathium Button: With 1 collected Plathium element, your Sim can fortify their doorbell to last a lifetime without breaking again. Plathium can be found in three metals, death metal, plathinum, and ironyum. It can also be found in four crystals, diamond, fire opal, citrine, and jet. Once you've found a metal/crystal, send it to the Geo-Council through the mail to get your elements back.
- Eco Lifestyle Fuel Cell: If you have Eco Lifestyle installed you can go off the grid with a fuel cell upgrade for battery powered alerting! Don't forget to charge the battery (add fuel).
A Few More Tricks
With Parenthood, kids of all ages can Make Funny Faces or Wave at Camera for special moments, like coming home from school and saying hello to Mom or Dad at work.
Pull the prank of legends and Ding Dong Ditch (Base Game Compatible), or Ding Dong Ditch with Gag Bag (Parenthood Required). Your Level 2 Mischief Sims can leave a smelly gag gift on the porch, ring the bell, and DITCH! With Cats & Dogs, the bag may contain poop, otherwise a horrendous fruit cake. Light it on fire for the ultimate legendary prank. You may also find some of your mischievous neighbors running amok, especially on Spooky Day.
You can also assign the Ding Dong Ditch Holiday Tradition to any other holiday for extra tricks.
