{{Era|TS1|TS2}}[[File:Magazine.png|left]]'''Magazines''' are items Sims can buy on [[community lot]]s, and can read to increase their [[interest]] in a talking about a topic. ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' also has magazines that Sims can subscribe to, and which increase [[enthusiasm]] in a [[hobby]]. There are magazines in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', although they only serve their purpose as a decoration.
== 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 [[inventory]] feature is present, they will be kept in inventory, otherwise they will be put somewhere when the Sim returns home. In ''The Sims 2'', there is no progress bar when Sims read magazines, and they gain interest points much quicker than in ''The Sims''. Before having a Sim read about an interest, players should make sure that interest is shown in the information panel, and keep an eye on it as the Sim reads, as that is the only way to track the Sim's progress. After the action is canceled, the Sim will continue to gain interest until he or she actually stops reading, and may gain one or two points during this time. At times, a Sim may simply glance at a magazine, then put it down. This will usually be enough for the Sim to gain an interest point.▼
===The Sims 2===
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.▼

There is a magazine for each of the [[hobbies]]. A Sim must reach level 3 [[enthusiasm]] to receive a phone call asking if they would like a subscription.
Once
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]].
