    Fixed an issue where Sims didn’t write a genre book when “Write Genre Book” was selected.

    As there are several issues that have evolved over time and there is a fix for the writing now, I'm going to archive this thread.

    Please create a new thread if you have issues with resuming books.

    If it's with spellcasters still, make a separate thread.

    Thanks. all.

Just testing in a mod-free game on writing level 3 - everything is ok.

Got this bug now as well despite I could finish 2 books before in the current game version. Write is at level 10 and I think the book was about to be finished when the bug happened and now I can't continue writing it. My Character sit down at the PC when I order him to continue it but immediate stop to work on it.

I got nearly every official DLC installed and using the most current game version, also I never used a mod.

      I scraped the book and the next book worked fine. Its still possible that there is a problem with the Fantasy books as I now have written a Confidence book but I suspect was some kind of rare bug that happened.

      I have this problem now as well,

      i did not have any issues before the april 16 patch. I tend to do alot of writing. I had 2 sims just a few days ago (real life time) writing all kinds of books including fantasy.(this was a new game as well started less than 1 week ago). I had the all expansions for this save.

      last 2 days i started a new game. Sim just hit leave 7 writing and fantasy books become available. I finished lvl 10 gardening career earlier today and did some writing of books for research, grants, and the other few options for writing books for fame. i created 2 normal books i think 1 children's and maybe a non fiction not sure. I started a freelance writer career, first assignment was create a motivational book (no issues here). 2nd assignment create a fantasy book, started it no issues. then stopped to sleep in game. next day was blizzard (not sure if matters) went to resume fantasy book and I have same issue. Sim sits down, looks like its going to start writing then just gets up out of chair many times. will not resume writing.

      I never have had this issue before and everyone of my sims always invest alot of time in writing books including all types many of each. I never had expansions except the get to work one. I just purchased all the other expansions less than 1 week ago during origin sale.

      hope this helps,

      I'm getting this too. Not every time I leave a book unfinished, but enough to be annoying. The action immediately cancels every time I try to resume a particular book. I end up scrapping it and starting a new one. That book will more often than not behave normally and I can stop and come back to it as intended. Then a few books later I hit the glitch again.
