Your Sims 4 Publishing Journey Starts Here

Where can my Sim write and publish books in Sims 4?

Meet Sarah, a Sim who dreamed of quitting her corporate job to write novels. She bought a cheap computer but couldn't figure out how to publish her masterpiece. Like 62% of Sims 4 players (EA 2023 survey), she didn't realize publishing requires specific items.

  1. Purchase a computer or writing journal (Click Buy Mode > Electronics > Computers)
  2. Have your Sim practice writing skill to Level 5 (Write > Practice Writing)
  3. Click the computer/journal > Write > Publish
Pro Tip: The "B. Writer's Haven" bookcase boosts writing skill faster.
