  • Sims can read these books for pleasure and enjoyment.

Fishing skill books teach which baits are used for particular fish, but do not add to the sim's fishing skill level.

Sheet Music

Similar to the way the fishing books work, sheet music books do not add to actual guitar skill, but instead allow sims to add more songs to their repertoire. Once one of these books have been read once, it will be destroyed.

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. (Edit by Aqua666: If you put the book on the ground the toddler can read it without having another sim read it to them first.)

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!
