Magazine: Difference between revisions

 

Once a magazine has been subscribed to, any Sim in the household can use the phone to cancel the subscription at any time. Once a hobby magazine has been delivered, any Sim in the household can read it regardless of their level of enthusiasm in that hobby. Sims, including visitors, may read hobby magazines autonomously. In addition, visitors can be [[influence]]d to read any available hobby magazine, at the cost of 500 influence points. Reading hobby magazines also builds [[Fun]], and if the Sim's Fun meter is full or nearly full, he or she is likely to pick up the magazine, glance at it, and put it down, which will have little if any effect on enthusiasm.

 

Hobby magazines can be disposed of by clicking on them and selecting "Clean Up", or by selling them in [[Buy mode]]. Hobby magazines eventually wear out, and how long a hobby magazine lasts is generally related to how much it is read. While a magazine will usually wear out within a week, it may last longer if it has not been read too much. A worn-out hobby magazine cannot be read, and will appear worn and faded. It appears that [[Maid#The Sims 2|maids]] and [[Robotics#CleanBot|CleanBots]] ignore worn-out hobby magazines.
