Game guide:Quicker studying

In the Sims 3, your Sims can learn skills from reading books. However this can take a long time. To maximize the chances of learning skills quicker, read on:

Without being a vampire

 * 1) Go to the local library
 * 2) A positive moodlet should appear, relating to Power Study

(Taken off Library page)

3. Have your sims browse through the bookshelves to find what you want to study

4. Read the book and you will learn the skill quicker than normal (Note: Usually twice as fast as normal)

Being a vampire

 * 1) Wait until night comes and the Vampiric Vigor moodlet appears
 * 2) Once you have received this moodlet, choose the book or start practicing the skill you want to improve
 * 3) Once you have started to practice the skill, animated bats should randomly fly to the side of the skill gain bar

Tip
For maximum studying, go to the library at night while being a vampire. This will give you both the power study and the vampiric vigor moodlet.
