Sorry but how did they just come up with this 6 years later? Wasn't that a given? How did they not put that in the base game? Oh my god I laughed so hard when I heard this.
Wait, Sims didn't get fun from reading before? I thought that they did since I thought I saw the fun bar go up before while they were reading, even with Bookworm Sims. Was I just imagining this the whole time? Very interesting though. I'm glad that they're updating things!

Sims always got fun from reading books because it provides entertainment, but Bookworm sims gained fun at the same pace as non-bookworm sims. That's been changed in this patch.

Ah, okay, that makes more sense. Thanks for telling me! It's good that the trait allows them to gain more fun now.
Yeah, a lot of these changes make you stop and think, "wait... why wasn't this adjusted before during the 7 years this game has been out?" I got the same feeling when I read that showers and eating took less time for Sims. I'm all in favor of them though, just confused what took so long.
this is the kind of expectations ea has accomodated their players to.
next time they'll tell us evil sims are meant to be evil and everyone will clap in amazement
Yeah I never even noticed this wasn't in game to begin with LOL.
And here I was assuming that they already had fun reading. How'd I miss that...
They did, but about the same amount than the sims without the trait
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

I knew they were lack luster, but I didn't realize they were THAT lackluster.
Sims have always gained fun from books, so it's not too bad to have never noticed they gain the same amount of fun.
They were It's why everyone complained...they literally did nothing a side from a few +1 moodlets.
