Which Mod? Is there a way to quickly choose/stock/manage the books on shelves on public bookshelves, using mods?

The original catch all. General game help, banter, things you should probably put in the correct forum, This is the place.

Is there a way to quickly choose/stock/manage the books on shelves on public bookshelves, using mods?

Post by LeMurphs » September 22nd, 2023, 7:12 am

I'd like for my magazine racks at the gym to be filled exclusively with sports and fitness related books, for my nerd hangout to be stocked with comic books, for my library shelves to be sorted according to genre or type, etc. So basically I'm looking for a way I can choose what books are in the bookcases that a placed in public areas.

Is this possible with any mods which already exist? It feels like kind of an obvious thing but I can't find a way to do it.

I think this mod from Sims MX at MTS is what you are looking for: Set Community Lot Book Type

Can't you fill the rack with Debugenabler too?
I did it with my library shelves.

Do you remember exactly how you did that? When I click on the bookcase in live mode and follow the path 'Nraas > [Bookcase's buy catalogue name > Transfer From' I get a pop-up with all the books in that case, but when I click 'Transfer To' nothing happens. I don't know if I'm looking in the right place, but those are the only options I can see when I try to interact with the object.

That's brilliant, thanks! A really handy place to start.

You click the shelve then Nraas - Debugenabler - yeah object something, you need to check all which are given, then you will know, but not transfer :)
Sorry I am not in-game at the moment.
