Title: "Read to Youngsters" Fix for Novellas Nouveau Bookcase in FreeTime

Many people noticed that Novellas Nouveau Bookcase (Art Nouveau Bookcase) is missing "Read to... (Youngsters)" function in FreeTime. The function is there, but is erroneously labeled under "Discuss..." menu, because EAxis stupidly b0rked a text string file for this bookcase.

This is a little fix that restores "Read to Youngsters" (toddlers and children) function to Novellas Nouveau Bookcase. I even reported this bug in the official bug report thread (http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?&openItemID=&threadID=5026308a32fbc929b2264986126b6e8a&directoryID=21&startRow=1#999c60c1163a7544c7486e03f7569f8c) over at BBS, along with several other glitches that can be easily found and fixed in about 5 minutes, but the pulled FT patch didn't address these issues. I almost forgot that I made this fix in March until I came upon a BBS post reporting this bug.

The 3rd FreeTime patch did NOT fix this bug, either.
Compatible with AL. This bug is still (probably forever) unfixed.

This fix was rolled into Pie Menu Text Strings Fix (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,13399.0.html). Remove it, and get the new fix. (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/Themes/babylon/images/english/new.gif)

Very glad to see this, nice to have one bookcase address all needs rather than mulitple bookcases about the room. It amazes me to see how many mods, fixes you have made. When I see the list, I have to wonder just how do you find the time and energy to do all of them. No matter the answer, happy that you do.
