So I started a new game after reinstalling the game. After I while I stopped by the library, figuring I could read up on some cooking skill, before work next day. But when I got there, there was no books in any of the book cases? Anyone had this bug and how do I fix it? She doesn't have enough money to buy her own books yet, but I figured she could study a bit at the library until she got out of the worst.

Hi @Dida_Quickswitch Have you tried replacing the bookcases to see if they install with books?

If that doesn't work, go to Edit Town, bulldoze the lot, then replace the library.

I first disabled mods to see if it was causing it, but no. Then I placed every single bookcase in the game in there. Cheked them, most had random stories, but 1 had skill books. So I deleted all the other and put in a bunch of the skillbooks book case. So it's sorta fixed atleast.

I've seen this happen a few times. I don't know what causes it. :(I'd have to go back to an older or different save to get the bookcases back.Which is different than skill books in bookcases on community lots. The skill books are only in one type of bookcase. The rest have different ones. The kids books are in one a few, also. I guess it was to keep it easier for us to find books that they only put certain types in certain bookcases. The bookcases which look like they'd go best in a library are Not the ones which have the skill books in them. :lol:

Actually, there are two bookcases that will have skill books in them on community lots, the Book Corral, and the Penningway Bookshelf.

I always edit the Twinbrook library to swap in some skill-book bookshelves. I do the same at the University and Bridgeport and any other towns with no skill-book book shelves.

Debug Enabler will add books of specified categories to bookshelves.

I managed to get the books back, by deleting the bookcases from before and replacing them with other bookcases, both skill books and others. The few bookcases I left are still without a single book though.

I decided to delete the whole game and make a new one. I got the same problem. Tried changing lot type, changing it back, replacing book cases, nothing helped. So I bulldozed the lot and made a new library from scratch. Same problem. every single book case had the same problem. Nothing I will do fixes it :(
