sims can't put books away
chaos:
I recall something similar happening in my game before I started using awesomemod. I discovered that placing bookcases in the family inventory while moving sims to new houses caused bought books and sim-written books to disappear, so I started putting the individual books into a sim's individual inventory before placing bookcases in the family inventory and/or moving house. Once the sims were in the new house, if I told them to put away the books from their inventory, they would just drop them on the floor, and I had to manually put the books away by opening the bookcase. I'm not sure if this still happens, or not, because I use awesomemod, and I haven't moved any sims with bought or written books recently. I send them to the library instead of the bookstore.

Happens to me too, I figured it was books that they no longer had access to the bookcases that they came from that they couldn't put away, as I had one sim who jumped in car and drove to her parents house, put book away there and drove back home again ;D Now I find it easier just to drag and drop from inventory to bookcase, saves time and effort ;)
J. M. Pescado:
Books normally have a homing pointer indicating which bookshelf they came from. When you move using the "pack furniture" option, all the objects on the original lot are actually cloned rather than being moved, so the book pointers either point at nothing in particular, or at the old bookshelf, and you have to re-home the books.
