Hey y'all! Happy New Year ♥

I was supposed to release two mods before the year was done and time flew by on me, so I felt like it would be nice to gift you something small until those mods come out.

Growing up in Ontario Canada, I loved reading manga. My library had many for me to read and I used to get so excited! Recently, while I was playing with a cringe sim, I noticed an interaction called scour for memes and it's when a sim is feeling playful, they can search for memes online. I was so shocked at how cute the screen looked while my sim was looking at these memes because it reminded me of the manga I would scroll and read.

Long story short, I found out it's an override after going into the vanilla game LOL! However, I still felt it would be nice for bookworm sims to have this and to share it for storytelling purposes.

How does the mod work?

You click the PC, and go to the web section, and click "Read Manga". Then your sim will read a manga and have one of 6 moodlets (4 positive & 2 negative as seen in the last picture). There's a custom want your sim can have too and it only shows up for bookworm sims. This mod is for child to elder sims. All ages have the same moodlets, except I removed the confident buff for the child sim.

Don't forget to download Simkatu's override and XML injector mod for it to show up in the game.

At this point... Bookworm Overhaul mod may just be a thing, and I will combine analyze books, read manga, and a future wip all into one mod LOL!!!

Fun fact: I made the icon for the custom want by using two in-game icons and combining them (I used base game and hsy icon I believe). I think this is my first interaction mod too? I love how much I'm learning with this journey of modding. Thank you for being patient with me♥
