== Magazines and Interests ==
In ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', magazines that increase a Sim's interests can be bought on community lots. Each magazine has articles on 3 topics.
In ''The Sims'', magazines were added in the ''[[The Sims: Hot Date|Hot Date]]'' [[expansion pack]]. When Sims return home, they will place any magazines they have on available surfaces, but this may not work if the magazine was not bought [[Downtown (The Sims)|Downtown]]. As a Sim reads a magazine, a purplish bar will appear over his or her head. When the bar is full, an interest point has been gained.
Magazines in ''The Sims'' have a limited lifespan and will eventually become trash.
In ''The Sims 2'', magazines are part of the base game. If the [[inventories|inventory]] feature is present, they will be kept in inventory, otherwise they will be put somewhere when the Sim returns home. In Sims 2, there is no progress bar when Sims read magazines. Before you have a Sim read about an interest, make sure you can see that interest in the information panel, and keep an eye on it as the Sim reads. That's the only way to track the Sim's progress - and know when you want to stop.▼

In both ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', gaining an interest point in one subject will cause the Sim to lose an interest point in another.▼

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.
Subscriptions to hobby magazines travel with the household. If a household is moved to another lot, its subscriptions go with it, but a Sim who moves out of the household will need to resubscribe.
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.
Each magazine is delivered on a specific day of the week, along with the [[newspaper]].
