And this occurs only when writing books, not reading them or anything else involving them? And it happens "occasionally"?
Actually, I'm testing this right now to be certain, but I'm fairly sure I know what causes it. It looks like two sims can't write books with the same title in AwesomeMod. I just tested it without AM, and it works fine. Now I'm going to test it on a clean save with only AM and see if it jumps.
ETA: Bah, my same title theory seems to be bunk, as I can't reproduce it on a clean save. It's possible my old save is corrupt (which seems to happen a lot to my saves...) or that it's caused by something else entirely.

There's no such rule, and the core code for writing books is unmodified. If you're using "Start Writing" from Supreme Commander, Supreme Commander won't accept a title that is a duplicate of any existing work, and the default game itself will not accept a title that is a duplicate of anything written by that sim (but this part is core unmodified rules), but that should not impact the writing process itself, as Supreme Commander's bookstarter is external to the writing process and only seeds the new project so that you can issue the project without having to walk all the way to the computer to start it, by which time you have selected someone else and the dialog box pops up out of the blue with no explanation as to what it wants.

I know this sounds crazy, but the only way I can get this to happen is for my teen sim to try and write a book with the same title as his mummy father. If he writes a book with the same title as anyone else, it's fine. If anyone else writes a book with the same title as the mummy in question, it's fine. It just consistently jumps when the teen son tries to write a book with one of the titles the father has used. It's probably just a corrupt save, and it's likely it has nothing to do with AM after all, but I can't be sure.
ETA: Gah! Now I know what's causing it for certain! I'm sorry, as it turns out, this isn't an AM bug at all.
See, my teen sim has the same name that his mummy father used to have. I changed the father's name, then gave the son his old name once he was born. The titles are all stored under the name the father used to have, so it fucks up whenever I try to use the son to write a book with the same title.

Alright... I've cleared my cache and snagged the latest and greatest beta-AM.
So far I've only gotten this flagrant error:
And as far as my other problems go... it was a conflict with cmsacd... or whatever that routing mod is. I'll go see if there is a newer version out there.

Another bug to report:
Been receiving errors in the display hover text for buy items and wishes. Long number titles and full directory listings show in the descriptions. Seems to not effect gameplay: all items can be placed/recolored/used, wishes can be fulfilled. Does not occur with everything related to WA either as seen in the first picture. Though most items from WA in the catalog displayed this problem, not all of them did as in picture 2 below, another WA plant was fine. Also wanted to note, I've seen this problem when Riverview needed to be reinstalled because it had been removed or corrupted.
