Current job is a freelance writer and I had the task of writing a Non-Fiction book. My sim had a Writing skill of 6 so it is available to perform the task. When selecting any of the "Write Genre Book..." options none are met with any kind of response as shown in this example video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cV0X3-0l2wNamGy_T11MJmWM0eylLhnf
I tried every option under the "Write Genre Book..." bubble and none work. "Write a love letter" and "Practice Writing" still function as normal.
Fixed an issue where Sims didn’t write a genre book when “Write Genre Book” was selected.Fixed in Patch 1.59.73
I know there was more in here than just genre books. Hopefully everything is fixed though. If not, please make a new thread.
Probably will need to keep a thread for each specific interaction.
