Wishes for Book Reading: Which books are which?
brownlustgirl:
That is a bad wish, cause the only way my sims have learned about writing is taking a class, or on the computer. Maybe some buggy wish came up. Then again, I don't know everything about the game. ;)
Fake Edit: I just remembered, there's a book under children at the bookstore that cost around 125 - 150 simoleons. Don't remember the name, but check those books. I forgot children can read the toddler books.
Edit: Just checked out the toddler/children books at the bookstore. Maybe the "Jimmy Sprocket" books may influence writing. Made a couple of screenshots of the book choices. Googled toddler/children books for the Sims 3, but no one has written what those books skills are.
EDIT: removed image links.

I just popped into the game to check out the suggestions. It turns out I had purchased every book in the children's section of the bookstore when the girl was born, but they were forgotten and never read. Every book in the children's section is unreadable except "Where's Bella?" and "The Adventures of Raymundo"; the unreadable ones are grayed out when clicked directly and missing from the "Read..." menu when clicking the bookcase. Just to check, I had her read "Stragedy and Other Messterpieces", which made the choice for "Illustrious Author" as the lifetime wish pop up, but didn't fulfill the "Read a Book About Writing" wish. Afterward, I forced her to read everything from "Abstract with Turkey" to "On the Margins" to a book her grandfather wrote called "Warp Factor Infinity", all to no avail.
As far as I can tell, she's read at least one book in every listed genre, and still has that infuriating wish sitting in the window, mocking me. Since I've come this far, I'll enable the motives lock and just have her read non-stop, starting from the top of the bookstore list. Once I'm sure she's read every book (excluding, obviously, sim-written ones), I'll be willing to throw in the towel. I don't have a sim with the "Read a Book About Painting" wish, but if it pops up again, I'll do the same thing. I'll keep an eye out for them at all ages, too, in case it is as I suspected earlier and just a case of getting the wish too early or too late in life.

Yeah, I misunderstood that the toddler books may be enjoyed later, thinking when they grew up to child. Nope, the toddlers read the books if you leave it on the floor. Didn't know that.

Back to playing. I need to play more.

That's good to know. Here, all along, I've been having the parents read the books with the toddler to fill up the skill bar.

@ Grumblesnort
Is it possible that there are books in the Library that aren't available at the Bookstore?
