Mod The Sims - Grimms' Storybooks

More Details:

The Storybook is placeable on a Ravendancer Didactic Desk or Grandiose Reading Stand, an Opportunity Reading Desk or Opportunity Lectern as well as counters, desks, dining tables, end tables, coffee tables, shelves or on the ground. If you wish to have the Storybook exactly centred on one of the podiums, please use it with Lady Ravendancer's Page of Centring.

Listeners will sit on dining chairs, living chairs, sofas or love seats if they are available. To use two tile recliners, Sims must directed to sit on them first before listening. If no seats are available, listeners will stand instead.

If the Storybook is placed on a table, desk or coffee table with a dining chair behind it, the storyteller will sit on the chair to tell the story (in the case of a coffee table, a sofa or carefully positioned living chair will also do). If there are other chairs at the table, listeners will also sit at the table. Otherwise they will look for a chair that is within six tiles of the book.

If the Storybook is placed on the ground or on a coffee table that does not have a chair beside it, the storyteller will sit on the ground behind it, and all listeners except for elders with also try to find a place on the ground. Storytellers who are children will always stand to share the tales, but in this case the audience will sit on the ground near them.

When sitting in a chair or on the ground, the storyteller will use a less formal style. Wherever it is positioned, the book will satisfy the "Practice Speech, "Read To" and "Be Read to by" wants. While the story can be relayed through an Extension Speaker, toddlers will not listen to it, although other Sims will.

Basegame does not support storytelling from a chair or on the ground.

The Storybook can be made completely invisible wherever it is placed, can share a tile with another object, Sims will step over it, and it is height adjustable if Apartment Life or Mansion & Garden is available.

Listening increases Creativity Skill at the same rate as playing a piano. Those who "Tell a Story" increase their Charisma skill, at the same rate as the basegame Teleprompter. In addition, Sims can "Ask For" or "Offer" Charisma speech lessons if the Storybook is placed on a Didactic Desk, Reading Desk, Reading Stand or Decorative Lectern.

Sims will Listen to satisfy their Comfort, Fun and Social motives, but if the storyteller is moderately Charismatic, then Sims will continue listening until their needs or mood becomes too low. A moderately Charismatic storyteller or a magic user will be paid Â§50 per hour by each non-family member present. On owned business lots, any earnings will go directly to the business owner.

On non-residential lots and dorms a qualified NPC will appear automatically to tell a story, although this may not occur until ten game minutes have elapsed. This function can be overrode by selecting "Disable Auto-Invite" from the book's menu. Creative and Charismatic Sims who happen to visit or are invited to the lot will also autonomously teach from the book. On residential lots visiting Sims will not appear automatically unless "Enable Auto-Invite" is selected.

The "Invite Storyteller" menu option will call in a qualified Sim regardless of the Auto-Invite setting. If a storyteller is already on the job, "Replace Storyteller" will dismiss the current Sim and after about ten game minutes a new storyteller will be recruited. If you do not want a storyteller, "Dismiss" will relieve the Sims of their duties and "Auto-Invite" will be disabled.
