Sims 4 Notebook | Police | Detective (Latest) 2024

The sims 4 notebook is another excellent update by the game creators who leave no chance on making this more life-like.

In real life, you don’t go around memorizing stuff like grocery lists or recipes (unless you have an impeccable memory); instead, you write it down in a notebook or your notes app, for instance.

So, this is the reason why a notebook feature is added for the simmers. They can use it to write down notes in a crime scene, make a list of their plants, and keep a record of the rare fished that they catch.

Furthermore, they can also get a journal to pour in their thoughts or make some cute doodles.

Let us look at what all you can do with the journals and notebooks.

Sims 4 journal

If you have Sims 4: Parenthood, your sims can have journals to write in, which can be found and bought under the ‘Activities and Skills’ menu.

You can buy this sims 4 notebook for honing their creativity through writing letters, poems, or simply maintaining a private journal of thoughts.

Interactions

There are various interplays that you can have with this journal; these are:

• Write in a Journal: Your sims can start jotting down stuff in their journal, unlike a notebook.
• Hide it: Characters can choose to hide their precious journal from the world.
• Scribble Furiously: They can perform this action if they are angry.
• Locate it: Locate the journal while being in bed.

• Relive Memories: The sim can get emotional and teary eyes while randomly reading their journal.
• Put Away: This will keep the diary away for some time.

Moodlets

Let us look at the moodlets you’ll acquire while writing in the journal,

• Happy: Your characters will get the moodlet “Another day: another entry” if they write in the diary continuously for 4 hours.
• Angry: If your sim notices a snoopy sim hovering around his journal, then he will get flushed with anger.
• Embarrassed: If the rage-filled sim catches another one reading his journal, then he’ll get the embarrassed moodlet.
• Confident: A sim that reaches out to find somebody’s journal and be prompt to read it will get confident and less empathetic.

Where is the notebook in Sims 4?

The notebook can be found at the bottom-left of the game window, where a little house and a phone icon are visible. Now, the phone icon gives you access to the sim’s phone.

Once you open the phone, you’ll find two options on the top-middle of the sim’s phone. So, the icon on the left side that looks like a tablet is your notebook icon.

How to open the notebook?

You can choose to open the NB either through your computer or your phone icon.

The option of finding NB on the phone is discussed above, and, on the computer, you can find this notebook icon on the main screen.

In the NB, there will be designated folders for different activities (like gardening) that you can go through to add data.

Fishing notebook

As mentioned earlier, the notebook can be used for recording and writing multiple stuff. So, if you are a fan of fishing, you can utilize this NB feature for this activity.

All of the fish you’ll catch in the game will automatically be visible in your notebook’s “fishing” folder, which can be found once you open the NB.

Now, not only the names of the fishes you catch will be mentioned, but the bait you used to lure them will also be noted so that you can use the same bait to catch the same fish later. Furthermore, they will also specify the number of items you need for the bait and if you have them in your inventory or not.

Furthermore, at a crime scene, you can get your hands on several pieces of evidence and clues by searching for them, taking photos, and looking at fingerprints.
