Re: New Sims 4 CAS story mode not working

I am having the same issue, I have had this problem since the original patch, and have tried everything.  I do not use player mods or any CC. I just use whatever is in Origin.

Today, I started a new game, and created my first SIM using Story Mode. I went to create a second SIM and clicked the button to add a sim, but there was NO OPTION for the Story Mode (no book) in the menu for adding a SIM.  I started the game and clicked on add a new household, and NO STORY BOOK option available on "add a sim". 

So, not only does this happen in all my save games, but also in a brand new game I created today.

I decided to "repair my game",  when it was done repairing the game AND verifiying all my different expansion packs, stuff packs, game packs, etc. I went back into the game I created today, to add a person to the original family I started, and the option appeared there and I saved the game. I checked my other 2 save games and the option did show up.   Next, I exited the game, and closed down SIMS.

I restarted SIMS and selected the game I made today and all the other saves I have and it seems to have fixed the problem. I believe the key to my fix this time was waiting for all the "verify" of the different packs I have for Sims, rather than just going into the game after the game was "repaired".

I hope this helps anyone with the book icon not showing on ADD A SIM
