Analyze Book mod ft. Bookworm Sims 📚 [UPDATE JULY 28/2026]
UPDATE JULY 28/2026: Fixed String Table Error
This is a mod for the bookworm trait. Sims with the bookworm trait can analyze a book. The interaction came with a buff and I felt the buff was like a fun fact type buff about bookworms not the feeling of reading said book. Thanks to the amazing help of my talented friend Bookwormsims, we came up with 32 buffs for analyzing a book. There are 16 buffs for every in-game emotion for teens to elder sims. Child sims have 16 buffs, but it's for 8 moods that come with two different moodlets (ex: two focused buffs).
In the pictures, the first six pictures are the buffs teens to elders will receive after analyzing a book and the next six pictures are the buffs child sims will get after analyzing a book.
I'm not sure if there are any conflicts at this time, but if you see anything please comment below and I'll update this post.

I must have this <3 thank you! Imagine though analyzing books would develop certain skills slightly too, like, sci-fi books > logic, romance > charisma (?), etc, and all would develop ever so slightly the writing skill ^^ If I have the energy, I will try to make it myself. But for far, my programming went so far as to steal a line of code, place it into another stolen mod, and a couple of non complicated CCs lol. Thanks again for your work!
This is a really good request. I’ve always wanted to work on a bookworm type of overhaul for the game. I just have been focused on a lot of my other projects. I’ll add this part onto my list thank you so much it’s a good idea 💗💗
i loooove this! thank you :)
THIS IS GREAT 💐💐💐💐💐

Just wanted to let you know this is throwing up tuning errors. I love this mod, so I hope whatever it is gets resolved. <3
What is the tuning error? I’ll look into the interaction if it changed. Thank you so much!
It should be working with the current patch, but I’m going to check in a bit 🩷
Will there be updated? MOD does not appear in the game
It should be working, but I will check in a bit 🩷
thank you for this wonderful mod! If not a bother, do you happen to know if it is compatible with march 20 patch 1.113? Thank you so much! :)
Hi I apologize for this late reply, but it should be working. I will confirm today and check it in a few minutes💕
Hi! Thank you for your work. I've translated this mod into Ukrainian: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ukrayinskii-modu-116653837
Hi I just included the translation! Thank you so much 🫶🏾🫶🏾💗
is there a way this could work for sims without the bookworm trait? this is a great idea, to flesh out the reaction of sims having read a book.
This mod is using the in-game interaction, but I will look into it if it’s possible to have the test removed for bookworm and it be available for all sims 💗
Thank you for making this. I have a bookworm sim that's been dear to me since 2017 and he just needed something like this considering all the books he reads.
Aww I love this for your sim♥♥

Yay will add this to the post tysm
this so amazing!!
Thank you so much 💕💕
Thank you so much ! This is great for enjoying your bookworms experiences
Right that’s what bookwormsims and I wanted 🥹
I like the idea, it's just weird to not know which book gives wich emotional buff. I don't want my Sim to read a book, which makes her feel uncomfortable. More focused buffs with different descriptions are also great. The whole book reading system in Sims 4 feels really weird to me. Maybe because they aren't real books, that we (the player) read. Look at Palia for example, it's a free game on Steam and Switch and you can actually read books (no skill unfortunately) but the player can read the books. Some games have that feature. It's cool to have some picture and text we could also read (it doesn't need to be the whole book), and let the sim then read the whole book. It would be great if the Sims team did it like this, a pop up with pictures and text, in the same time your sims read it and we do also. But not the entire book, just a short story of the book.
I hear what you’re saying, but even movie hangout stuff pack has general moodlets like “boring movie” and doesn’t say the movie’s name. Even though movie hangout stuff pack does have the name of the movies in the codes. I am not fully aware of the book’s codes because it’s not the name verbatim (like MH stuff pack in the codes) or even book genre (like the movies from growing together are genre names in the codes). In the future, I want to find out more info on books to give them more life for bookworms. For now, it’s general for storytelling purposes. I need to give Palia a chance though 🤩💕
I love this!! 💖💖
Thank you so much 🥰
Love it thank you so much ❤️❤️
