Re: I can't read a book to a child or put books in my sim's inventory.

I can't drag the books from the sim's bookshelf without using build mode. I go to the library and I can drag the books, but I still can't drag them into the sim's inventory. The only books that come up with "put in inventory" are the ones that have already been in the sim's inventory.

Now the books in the library won't drag when I click and hold. Is this a bug?

It has been eleven days since the OP; EA, are you ever going to provide an answer?

This is a user help user platform so not likely no.
