Virtual digital books instead of paper books & new tech-based trait(s)
I have a sim that is a major tech nerd/geek. The computer use aspiration fell short in that my sim just wanted to game and program all day but I wanted my sim to do develop new tech (he's in the scientist career and invents stuff). I want him to be more professional/serious & have aspirations that suit that. The "nerd brain" one was the closest to what I wanted in terms of wanting my sim to be handy, but the interest in paper books doesn't fit with the backstory.
I vaguely recall there was a "hates technology" Luddite type trait in Sims 3 but I want something that is the opposite-- a Sim who prefers technology and who reads books digitally on a computer or tablet.
I've seen the tablets in the game that can be used for writing but I want the sims to be able to use them for reading as well. There could be basic tablets they hold in their hands to read (I guess something like the Kindle or whatever the book tablets are called), hologram books that are semi-transparent and float in front of the sims like you see on sci-fi shows (they would look like computer screens), and VR goggle books. Sims can either sit to read or stand to read. They could download/copy paper books to their digital libraries and purchase new books via the store, but they could select the digital option to be able to access it from computer, tablet, or other device. This would save inventory space.
The "bookcases" for these Sims could have DVDs, knowledge cubes, crystals, or some other type of device/storage depending on what tech period you want to go with.
Maybe the tablets could even have "pop up" hologram type stuff like the book in this news article https://pressreleases.responsesource.com/news/82344/world-s-first-pop-up-book-for-kindle/
While I'm at it, I'd also like some lights & other stuff that float in the air. Would be cool to have a floating orb that can project an image for computer use/ tv screen while a Sim sits comfortably and watches & it doesn't take up a ton of space- which would be great for tiny living.
