16th July 2026: Updated tuning for the newest version of my modlibrary, which is now all this mod requires. Please download the new version; the link is in the description. Also simplified the publishing options (the new version of Mod Library injects new outcomes to EA's publishing options so they can be used with other writing mods, like adeepindigos, rather than just being compatible). Ensured ALL books published with Simazon, the Mailbox, and the new Computer options receive royalties. I've also added an interaction under Computer → Write to allow players to view their Bibliography, so that even when royalties have stopped paying out, they can still see a list of everything they've published.
21st June 2026: Reworked publishing options to improve compatibility with other writing mods and added support for progressing the Bestselling Author aspiration
20th April 2026: Fixed a few typos
6th April 2026: Added new Computer publishing options, and separated any conflicting tuning with Noteworthy Notebook. Now one does not rely on the other.
4th February 2026: Updated for the 2/3/2026 PC: 1.121.342.1030 / Mac: 1.121.342.1230 patch
29th January 2026: EA’s writing genres now behave as they do in the vanilla game and remain unavailable until unlocked. Previously, these genres were hidden entirely. Use Unlock All Genres on the computer (under Write) to access genres normally gated behind skill requirements. (Thank you, RenaRe) 3rd December 2025: Sorry guys, I forgot to add the genres from my other mods to the unlocked categories. Please redownload if you have the Sequential Art or HHC careers or the Home & Hobbies Aspiration.

New book covers
Horror genre for base game
Thriller genre (separate from Mystery)

29th July 2025: Added Guidebook to Natural Living & Guidebook to Apothecary from Enchanted by Nature (the mod itself is still BGC)25th April 2025: Added clearer publishing options (so as not to conflict with other writing mods), added new tooltips for the custom writing interactions, fixed lost book progress (EA issue), and did some minor tuning tidying up!
10th March 2025: Added the two new books from Business & Hobbies (not required), plus tweaked the publishing options. Now, if you have my Sequential Art or Holistic Health Consultant careers, you can now earn royalties from writing a Graphic Novel, Comic Book or Wellness Book through Self-Publishing with Simazon. Also removed autonomy for the Writing Retreat and cleaned up a few tuning and string files.
25th February 2025: Updated tuning for new patch.

Hey Simmers! 🎉 I’m thrilled to unveil my latest creation—an epic overhaul of the writing experience in The Sims 4! 📚✍️
Ever feel like writing a Children’s book shouldn’t be so basic? Or that your creative Sims are stuck skilling up before they can explore other genres? Not anymore! Now, every genre is open to your Sims, no matter their Writing Skill level. That’s right—from romance to sci-fi, they’re free to let their imagination run wild from the start!
And it gets better! At Writing Skill Level 2, Sims can Self-Publish on Simazon, while at Level 5, they can score deals by selling their work to a Publisher. If they hit Level 9, they can even Submit to the Literary Digest—the ultimate recognition!
Plus, uninspired Sims can break through Writer’s Block by heading to a relaxing Writing Retreat. Can’t afford it? No worries! There are fresh online tools to help boost creativity right from home! 🖥️✨
I’ve poured a ton of heart into this, and I can’t wait for you all to dive in.~midnitetech 💚
