Written Word and written books

Post by sheridanhoughton » September 8th, 2019, 5:00 am

For some time now, presumably because I have the 'Written Word' mod, when sims in my town write books, they end up for sale in the bookstore. Which is great, because they are much cheaper to buy than the EA ones, and also there is more variety.

I have just started a new town, and the books don't seem to be appearing, even though I know they are being written because I get prompted to name them. Instead of having a purpose built bookstore in this town, I have a combined market with the books register, the consignment register and the food register. I don't know if this is why the written books are not appearing. Has anyone got any ideas please?

The other thing that has bothered me - in the towns where my sims could buy this variety of books, they never seemed to read them autonomously. When they read autonomously, they always seem to pick the EA books, even if they have read them before.

These problems are not important, but if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.
thanks

You may want to consider the OnceRead mod to stop sims from choosing books they have already read through the "Read Something" action. Afraid I don't have any answers for the rest of it, except maybe try placing a regular standalone bookstore rabbithole to see if that one triggers the WrittenWord effects as it should.

I took the book register out, and then put littlelambsy's book store into the neighbourhood. Now all the books are available. Maybe the book register just didn't like sharing a lot with other registers.

I have also installed the once read mod, which will help my other problem.

thanks for your help.
