- Sims are once again able to read Magic Tomes. Time to get back to the spellbooks!
Fixed in Patch 1.108.349/1.97
Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issues.
Reason for this Issue is because EA removed the Object Tags from the Object Criteria Test in spells_MagicTome_Read/ spells_MagicTome_Read_UseMagic, instead of removing the whole Object Criteria Test.
Will add a temporary Fix to my Improved Spells Mod soon, but this is an easy Fix and will hopefully be fixed asap by EA.
Thank you so much, @LittleMsSam ! I don't know how I'd make do without your Improved Practicals. ♥
To anyone who can use mods, LMS's Improved Practical Spells mod is invaluable and UPDATED. Go and get it now! :D
@SovereignSimsIt's great that there is a mod but I don't play with mods, never have and the game should work without them. This is just awful - how every update breaks the game and with the prices EA takes for their expansion packs we really should be able to play the game as intended, which is obviously not the case. I am so annoyed.
I hate mods and never play with them, so it's very unfortunate that only modders seem to be able to fix all these problems with the game. Maybe EA needs to take some of their profits and hire more people or something. What I generally do is travel to the magic place until I learn transportalate, then I make sure my sim always transportalates after that. Between that and dueling for knowledge it's usually fairly quick after that to level up to max power and spell/potion knowledge. It is WAY more convenient to be able to read tomes though, especially when I've spent 8 previous generations collecting them ALL.
@peewee5278 - I've been saying the same about bug fixing. If Maxis/EA can't be bothered to cool off the new content for a while, they should at least hire a dedicated bug fix team that does nothing else but find and fix the bugs. Even bugs they claim are fixed often aren't, like the Gardening glitch. It's better now in many ways, but not fixed. Just a slightly less buggy bug.
