My Sims can't buy books - error message
pearlbh:
I know you're supposed to be able to sell books individually by marking a bookcase for sale. But when any of my customers try to buy a book, they take the book off the shelf, stand up (because for whatever reason, Sims always choose a book from the bottom shelf), and then the book just disappears. After watching this happen a few times I turned on testing cheats and the error message I get is "Animation name is empty string." So... I probably have a hack that's causing this, yes? I have Monique's learn all skills from the bookcases hack, but I took that out (it was the first one I suspected) and I still had the problem. It happens with Maxis bookcases too, not custom ones. For some reason it's bugging me immensely that I can't sell books. Magazines work fine, and other buy-one-from-the-display items, like cologne. It's just the books that don't work. Help!?

I am sure it would help a lot if you could joined the error log to this post as a file to download.
J. M. Pescado:
Are you using custom bookshelves? Those probably lack the proper object codes for the book-buying actions.
pearlbh:
No they're Maxis bookcases. I've attached an error log.

I didn't think you could sell books when the customers take the book off the shelf. It was my understanding that you had to have your sim remove the books from the shelf and put the book down or use a collection like Carrigon's wierdo collection which has the individual book in it, and then mark the individual books for sale. Has anyone been able to sell books straight from the bookcase?
