Line 4:
In ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]'', magazines that increase a Sim's interests can be bought on [[community lot]]s. 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]]. 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.
