[ARCHIVED] Books that are put down on public space can't be picked up

My sister was playing Sims 4 last night when she encountered this bug.

She had a Sim go to a community lot with a book in her inventory and when the sim got there she tried to read the book. She got up with the action 'put book away' but she was not on a lot with a bookcase in which to put the book, so my sister cancelled out of the action and she put the book on the ground.

So my sister tried to put it back into her inventory by hand and even though the book was no longer on the ground, so one would assume it was in the inventory, when she returned to the Sim's house the book was gone from the Sim's inventory.

    Don't know if that's still an issue and since this doesn't have a bug template, I'm going to lock this.

    Feel free to create a new thread if you still see this issue.

  • Hi guys.

    I playing with two families since the GTW expansion and one of my Sims putted the book he wrote on the street but until now he can't take it back. He just take the book in hands and put it back in ground.
    I tried to use the moo cheat and testingcheats to move or debug the object but nothing happens.

    I already repaired, make backup, reinstalled, taken out mods but still doesn't works.

    Someone has the same problem as me?

    This is probably the same or similar to this: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/OPEN-Objects-in-the-street-cannot-be-moved-or-deleted/td-p/3658211

    I'm not sure if stuff is getting cleaned up or not now but with books is a little different since you don't want it to be cleaned up.

    Could you try the set to head workaround that is described in this particular post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/OPEN-Objects-in-the-street-cannot-be-moved-or-deleted/m-p/4708868/#M15339

  • I have a violin I cannot move just outside a lot. -_-

    When sims leave objects outside of lot boundaries you can instruct the sims to read / play / eat / use the object then instruct them to walk back onto the lot while using the object. You will then be able to move, delete, or place the object in inventory.
