My Sims can't buy books - error message
pearlbh:
No you're definitely supposed to be able to sell individual books from a bookshelf just by marking an entire bookcase for sale, in fact I got it to work after removing my entire download folder. Then I started the process of putting my downloads back in little by little to figure out which one was causing the problem. It appears to be a certain custom bookcase I had that was causing the problem by simply being in my download folder. You can't sell books from custom bookcases (at least older ones that were made before OFB), but you can have them in your game, except that one. It was called "My Favorite Books" and it appeared to be just a recolour of the Maxis Bibliofile bookcase, but in Clean Installer it came up as a game object. But anyway now it's gone, and all the rest of my downloads are back and I can sell books.
The thing about having to take one book out is a rumour that's been posted around but it's not true, all you need to do is mark an entire bookcase for sale and Sims buy individual books from it. And you can't mark an individual book that's sitting out for sale, at least I can't.
And now that I have this working, let me tell you, Sims will buy books like they're going out of style! And when you check their inventory after they've bought one the books have witty and amusing titles, though all they can do with them is read or study like usual.
