Books are items in The Sims series that can be read by Sims to learn various skills or for entertainment. Books are typically stored in a bookshelf.
The Sims and The Sims 2 had a limited variety of books available to read, and they varied depending on the intended use. Books could be read to increase mechanical and cooking skills in The Sims, while books could teach cleaning and (eventually) several other skills in The Sims 2. Children in The Sims can use books to study and improve their grades; this use is not present for children or teens in The Sims 2, though college students can read books to study and improve their class performance.
Books are overhauled in The Sims 3, and can be individually purchased from the bookstore, and can be kept in a Sims' inventory. Books are often given as part of an opportunity. Books written by a Sim are kept by the Sim, and can be read by other Sims.
