Re: [ARCHIVED] Write Song / Book / Lyrics Loses Progress

I am having the issue if I travel, if I exit the game and reenter, if I stop to do another task. Every time I do something and go back to writing lyrics/writing songs (I've been trying to do both). I'm on PS5. All packs and kits. No mods or CC of course.

    For me, I can write a book and complete as long as I do not: SAVE AND QUIT the game. Or Save, then quit. If I leave the lot, if my Sim sleeps, eats, etc - I continue upon my return from where I left off. 

    Likewise, if I'm writing a song, it's a similar issue. As long as I don't quit the game, my progress continues. 

    I'm on a PC (windows). Everything's up to date, all packs and stuffs and expansions, etc. No MODS or CCs. 

  • To everyone suffering with this issue...the divine LittleMissSam has a mod that solves it.  This is the link her Random Bug Fixes section. Search for "Resume Writing Workaround Fix" It 100% solved the issue for me. https://lms-mods.com/#rbf   

    Do yourself a favor a take some time looking at everything she has to offer. Makes the game so much more enjoyable.

    @80sKidAging Anyone know of a fix to writing _songs_? I haven't touched the writing skill in a good while but I'd want my sims to be able to write music. :/ At least the mod description only mentions writing skill specifically so I'm assuming this wouldn't help with the bug concerning song writing.

    If you're on PC, LittleMissSam has created a workaround for it. Check the pinned thread near the top of the Bug Reports forum titled Common Game Fixing Mods. You can find a link to the fix all the way at the bottom of the page.

    @JahKneeSee So I guess I wasn't clear enough: I already went to check her mod online but in the mod description only book writing was mentioned so I thought it doesn't help with song writing. But are you saying it actually does fix it for song writing too?

    I apologize, my brain obviously wasn't working properly when I read and replied to your comment. Somehow I completely missed the words "song" and "music" all over the thread.

    Sorry for giving you false hope. 😳

    @JahKneeSee hehe no worries ^^ Oh well, yet another thing in the game that I used to enjoy doing but now I guess I'll have to avoid until it gets fixed.
    I enjoyed the realism of being able to work on a song for a week or so. Writing a song all in one go makes as much sense as painting a whole painting in just a few hours. :/
