In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', there are three books,: a romance book, a study book, and a kids book. Sims can use them to study [[mechanical]], [[cooking]], or [[cleaning]], to write in a diary, or to ''Read a Book'', which increases the [[fun]] motive. [[Teen]]s, [[adult]]s and [[elder]]s can read to [[toddler]]s and [[child]]ren. [[Young adult]]s on [[college]] lots can research from books, which will raise their [[class performance]]. Sims who relax on a bed can read in bed, even if a bookcase is not in the same room; if ''[[FreeTime]]'' is installed, this will build [[Film and Literature]] [[enthusiasm]]. InIf ''The Sims 2: [[Apartment Life]]'' is installed, child or teen Sims can be read to sleep by older Sims, within 1an hour after they getgoing to bed.

In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'', the books in [[Oasis Landing]] are referred to as "E-Books".

Emotional books will put Sims that read them into a specific [[Emotion|emotionalemotion]]al state. Skill books, like in ''The Sims 3'', can be too easy - or too advanced - for Sims to read depending on their skill level. If a Sim with a high skill level reads a low skill book, they become [[bored]]. And if a Sim reads a too high level skill book, they will become [[tense]].

Sims with the [[Writing (The Sims 4)|writing]] skill can write their own books on a [[computer]], which can have a custom title and description. Each genre of book that can be written has a variety of template titles that will initially appear in the text field when creating a new book. The default description for each of these template books simply says what genre of book it is. Dollhouse-genre books can only be created by [[children]], comedy books can only be written by Sims with high [[comedy]] skill and travel guides can only be written by Sims with high [[Selvadoradian culture]] skill. The author Sim will then receive royalties every weekday for their published works. They can be published through a [[mailbox]] and have different qualities affected by the Sims writing skill that affect the amount of the received royalties.
