[ARCHIVED] Routing failure/T-Pose when trying to read from certain bookcases

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.110.294
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Buy a 'That's so crow bookends' bookcase and place it on a dresser or coffee table. Make sure that's the only bookcase you have on the lot. 2. Choose Read Something or pick a specific book
What happens when the bug occurs? The Sim gives a routing failure and can't complete the action

Please describe the patch or change you made. Installing LandD

It seems to work if you place the bookcase on a TV Stand. I also haven't tested all the dressers and coffee tables.

  • The Book Nook, Lovestruck and Life & Death bookends all have this problem. I did a little competition with all the bookends in the game and they won. They work fine if placed on the floor and some surfaces, but route fail on others.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place the Best of Nonfiction bookshelf from the Cozy Kitsch Creator Kit on a desk, and then try to read a book.
    What happens when the bug occurs? A Sim will not grab a book, but rather will T pose and drop the action from their queue.
    What do you expect to see? Sims grabbing books from bookshelves placed on desks.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

    I removed my mods and deleted the localthumbcache file before retesting.

    I tested the Best of Nonfiction bookshelf on a different surface (an end table), and my sims were able to grab books from that surface. I also tried to place the books on a different desk, but my sims would not grab a book from the different desk. I also tried moving the desk to a more open area for my sims to reach, and they still T posed and dropped the Read Something action from their queue. My sims were able to grab a book from other tabletop bookshelves (the basegame ones, etc.)

    The above screenshots are of my sim T posing after being asked to grab a book from the bookshelf on the desk. The first screenshot is from the desk in the original position, and the second is from the desk cleared off and in a more open area. My sim will not read a book if the books are on the desk (any desk; I tried multiple) but would if I moved the books to an end table or other surface.
