No books in the library?

Maybe you can have your sim "Have lunch/dinner" option and just make one serving of autumn salad. Continue making them till you skill up, I think you can make them free from home?

Edit: you can also watch the cooking channel on TV, if your sim dont have a TV then try a venue. Collect rocks and harvest plants around town to sell enough to buy a book. I hadn't played in that world (AP) in a long time though.

I only spend my time basically in Uni, I noticed those bookshelves are always empty, I figured there was a thief in the dorm :D

@Dida_Quickswitch - Rather than reinstalling the entire game, which usually doesn't really fix anything, you might want to try pulling your entire TS3 user game folder out of Documents to the Desktop for safekeeping, thus forcing the game to spawn a new no-content one in its place on the next startup. There will be no mods, added content, saves, etc. at all but those will all be safe in the pulled out folder. Then you would want to see if the books reappear on a new freshly started test game.

@igazor Isn't there also an NRAAS command that populates the bookshelf with all books? I can't remember it right now but I know I have used it.

NRaas WrittenWord populates bookshelves and book cash registers with books in the General category (not skill books) that sims in town have themselves written. It's not a means for drawing all books possible to all bookshelves, but there are mods available from other sources that can do that.

The issue here seems to be that in some circumstances there are no books at all appearing on library bookshelves? Or is that no longer the case but it's just the skill books we are trying to acquire and make available? In any event, NRaas StoryProgression for those so inclined has an option that forces the repopulation of empty library bookshelves with fresh inventories of the books of the types they were meant to hold (SP Extra add-on module required, the option is under SP > General > Options: Lots). But that only helps if the player is already engaged with NRaas SP.

Yes, but there was a specific choice I clicked on that populated the bookshelf with all level 1 to 3 skill books.

Debug Enabler will add books of specified categories to bookshelves.

D'oh, that's the one! Somehow I felt like I had encountered that command before as well, but I knew it wasn't MC or SP that was providing it. :)

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.
