I make my sim read a book and she after 1 hr sim time she quits reading and doesn't get that far into filling that skill! she is a bookworm I should add but its like she hates reading.... this normal?

  • A skill book? Those books usually take a while since your sim is reading it rather than actually doing it.
    Edit: bookworm trait has never helped me with skillbooks

    I know but she seems to just quit reading it very quickly...and yes its a skill book :)
  • Bookworm trait only gives powerful moodlets and ability to analyze a book. Maybe try getting the reward fast reader, yeah it takes more than 1 sitting for them to finish a skill book, my guess is they get tired of reading it. Maybe make a book club if you have GT, so they’ll spend more more time reading.
  • It can make it hard to get the kids to finish the first part of the Whiz Kid aspiration when the book they're reading takes all of 20-30 minutes. For some reason they actually stay put longer if their parent is reading a toddler book to them and a younger sibling. So my last child had three sessions, one with a child's book and two with a toddler book to make all three happy at once.
  • With autonomy off, they'll read forever, but as soon as their fun is maxed, they'll quit reading with full autonomy. I haven't usually seen the 'bored' moodlet unless the skill book is either above or below their skill level.
