Missing books

All of my books are missing. Skill books, all books and there are no books in the book store. I took out all mods and cc and started the game with the same results. I can't play without books because my sim has to read to advance in his job. Please help. My game is up to date. No cc or mods in the game....but no books in book store or in book shelves. Please help!!!

    Still no books and I notived that she wouldn't write anymore. But my game keeps crashing now so I can't even play that family and I don't want to start another one that has no books. I've got all the skills maxed on my saved family but can't load them now. This blows. Maybe it won't take long for a patch.

    I did what you said. I can play my family again but still no books. I'm frustrated. I don't know what to do. I just hope a patch comes soon and it brings back my books. I've noticed my sims won't write books either. Very frustrating. Thanks for your help.

    @RahafDalloul  Did you try the clean folder test as linked above by crinrict?  Here's the link again:

    https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714

    If the clean folder works, it's possible that the old one is corrupt, or that you have an outdated mod or some bad cc that's blocking access to your books.  It's always good to make sure that if you're adding any third-party content to your game, it's up to date and well-made, but there's never any guarantee that it will work as intended.
