Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim start writing a book of any genre. Stop writing when progress bar reaches an identifiable point, such as half way complete. Travel to a different lot, then return home, or exit to main menu, and reload save. Select to resume writing book, you'll find the progress bar resets to beginning or appearance of about a quarter of the way complete.
What happens when the bug occurs? A Sim's book writing progress resets back to the beginning, or very close to the beginning, no matter how much of the book you completed beforehand.
What do you expect to see? When I write a book that does not finish, and either exit the game, travel, or load in any way, when I resume writing, it begins at the progress that I left it at. If I wrote 50% of the book, it should resume writing at 50%.
