Bookworm Sims NOW get fun from reading?

I always picked bookworm if I wanted a trait that did nothing because it barely did anything, it's nice that they added something more to that trait.

I'm just... urgh so frustrated. xD

Sooo... I keep hearing about this bookworm trait improvement but.... what do the other "improved" traits do now?

There's a thread for posting trait improvements as you encounter them.

What did the bookworm trait do before this?

Yeah I never even noticed this wasn't in game to begin with LOL.

And here I was assuming that they already had fun reading. How'd I miss that...

Oh, I see. This relates to the bookworm sims specifically.

They did, but about the same amount than the sims without the trait :)
