A Bibliophile's Dream
Remember when reading time for the sims was that one red generic book in The Sims 1? Well, bookshelves have since evolved from that one defacto book to over a hundred different books in The Sims 3!
Buyable Books
These books can be bought at the book store and/or come as starter books for a bookshelf.
General
- Sims can read these books for pleasure and enjoyment.
- A sim will get better enjoyment out of reading books that relate to their traits. For example, a Flirty and/or Hopeless Romantic sim will enjoy reading books of the Romance genre more than an Unflirty sim.
- Prenatal books can be read during pregnancy for a mood boost.

Child Development
Child development books can be read to toddlers by teen, young adult, adult, or elder sims. The books help increase the skill level of the toddler. Once the book is completely read to the toddler they can pick it up and read it by themselves.
Sims with the Childish trait can read and enjoy a Child Development book regardless of age.

Hints and Tips
- The book store periodically has sales. When books do go on sale, it's best to go ahead and buy the really expensive books. You can score discounts as great as 2,000 simoleons!
- Reading a book at the library helps your sim complete a book faster due to the "Power Study" moodlet.
