upd. aug. 31, 2026: fixed an issue where sims could level up every skill at once after reloading if the game was saved while they were still reading.upd. oct 8, 2025: - fixed the studying buff showing up for non-university books;- removed the action from bunk beds;- added the ability to read vampire lore books in bed for skill gain.upd. jun 4, 2025: now works with the add-on that lets you change animation type for each sim individually.upd. may 14, 2025: flowers won’t have the "read in bed" option anymore 🤪

single bed

child to elder

on a single bed, sims (teen to elder) will see two options:1. read in bed (with covers)2. read in bed (without covers)

child sims will only get the "read in bed (with covers)" interaction.

double bed

teen to elder

on a double bed, sims will see one interaction: "read in bed"the animation depends on which side of the bed you click:

left side → with covers

right side → without covers

i added a tooltip in-game to make it easier.

the pose for "read in bed (with covers)" is the same for all sims.the pose for "read in bed (without covers)" is different for masculine and feminine frames.

benefits:

increases fun need.

skill books will boost the related skill. any level book can be read in bed and still grant skill gain.

if your sim has a "finish a book" want or aspiration goal, this interaction will fulfill it.

children gain creativity when reading fiction books. when reading skill books, they build mental skill. and if the book teaches a skill children can learn, that skill will increase too.

a moodlet will appear while reading in bed:

sims enrolled in university can also read textbooks in bed, they'll get a notification confirming their academic progress is improving:
