Read novel
kazebird:
This is ingenious!
I didn't even know sims could open functional bookstores at all.
I am going to have an ambitious sim open a bookstore, and act as a publisher. Essentially every time a sim writes a novel, he will receive it using the gift interaction. When I go to play him, I simply will stock his stores with the books he receives.
I may have my forest dwelling sim, and my legacy founder write some novels now. Can you use shift click copy on the novels to copy them?
Also, I want to know if it's possible for anyone to make an empty Craftmeister bookshelf with sideways slots, so when you stock your novels, it will look like a proper bookshelf, instead of having the books lying down. I would do it, but know nothing about making objects, so I can't.

No, you have to do something complicated with putting it on a table and putting the table in inventory, and pausing and unpausing the game and so forth, and it's easy to accidentally delete the novel instead of cloning it. There was a discussion about it not long ago. What's much easier, though, is just have a sim from another household go buy a copy of the novel and then give it back to the store owner.
kazebird:
Can't you make a hack to allow the object to be copied?
rufio:
Well, it can be copied, but the copy is not actually a copy. See the earlier thread for details. Anyway, it's a simple matter to just have a sim buy a copy from a community lot.
kazebird:
Well, either way what I really want is that empty bookcase with sideways slots I mentioned earlier...
