Gameplay descriptions

Every single book in the home word is here, with the exception of recipes, bait guides, guitar compositions, and books from The Sims 3: World Adventures destinations. If a player gets their Sim to write a novel, when it is completed it will often appear the library. This may not apply to flops. ^{[confirmation needed]}

Libraries attract Sims with the Genius^{[confirmation needed]} and Bookworm traits. They have lots of bookshelves, and usually have computers where Sims can practice the Writing skill.

As a lot assignment, libraries provide Power Study moodlet:
