Flamingos, like llamas, are a recurring motif in The Sims series. In the first three games, plastic lawn flamingos appear as cheap outdoor decorations. By casting the Enchant spell on a pink flamingo, the FlaminGoGo Dancer NPC can be summoned[TS:MM]. Neon flamingos appear in The Sims, The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 Store. In The Sims, they appear as neon flamingo wall lamps that were originally used to promote the defunct SimCity Flamingos hockey team. In The Sims 2, the neon flamingo appears as a decorative wall hanging. In The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, the flamingo again appears as a lawn decoration, coming in a variety of colors. Additionally, the Neon Flamingo lamp can be downloaded for free from The Sims 3 Store in the "The Sims Strike Back" set.
Sims often kick over a flamingo, and it will sometimes get stolen.

| Are you bothered by nuisance tropical flamingos soiling your front yard? Or does your lot just need some decoration? Either way you can't go wrong with a pink flamingo decoy. The high gloss finish and metal legs act as a deterrent to real flamingos, while simultaneously advertising the light-hearted and fun-loving spirit of the home owner. | |

| While neon is back, the SimCity Flamingos hockey franchise is never coming back. Hundreds of these pink neon signs appeared around the city in a vain attempt to increase sagging attendance and ticket sales. However, some prudent citizens "saw the light" and saved the signs after the team went belly-up. Highly collectible, the Flamingos sign is now proudly displayed in many clubs, frat houses and homes. | |

- Notes
- If the base game or University is installed, the object was located in the "Decorative - Wall Hangings" section of buy mode. However, from Nightlife to FreeTime, it was completely hidden from the buy mode catalog, and a mod was required to obtain the object. The FreeTime patch restored the object and moved it to the "Lighting" section of buy mode.
- In the Russian version of the game, the Neon Flamingo flavour text refers to a pop song "Pink Flamingo" by Russian singer Alyona Sviridova.
