click on a bed to see the interaction that lets your sim pick a book from their inventory and read it in bed.
base game compatible
requires the xml injector
on a single bed, sims (teen to elder) will see two options:
1. read in bed (with covers)
2. read in bed (without covers)
child sims will only get the "read in bed (with covers)" interaction.
on a double bed, sims will see one interaction: "read in bed"
the animation depends on which side of the bed you click:
right side → without covers
i added a tooltip in-game to make it easier.
the pose for "read in bed (with covers)" is the same for all sims.
the pose for "read in bed (without covers)" is different for masculine and feminine frames.
skill books will boost the related skill. any level book can be read in bed and still grant skill gain.
if your sim has a "finish a book" want or aspiration goal, this interaction will fulfill it.
children gain creativity when reading fiction books. when reading skill books, they build mental skill — and if the book teaches a skill children can learn, that skill will increase too.
a moodlet will appear while reading in bed:
sims enrolled in university can also read textbooks in bed — they'll get a notification confirming their academic progress is improving:
1. please let the sim finish reading before saving or entering cas. otherwise, when you load the game again, they may level up every skill at once, which causes a bunch of notifications :) it's not game-breaking, but a little messy.
2. the animation looks better with thicker books.
3. emotional books won’t give your sims a specific emotion.
this mod took me over half a year to figure out, and i'm so happy to finally share it. hope you enjoy!
