@KatastrophicSim I assume you mean the book help interaction on the bookshelves for toddlers ?
Are there actually any toddler books in the bookshelves still ?
Not aware of children having that option at all on the bookshelf. Do you actually have that interaction on new bookshelves for children ?
As we didn't have toddlers in 2014, I don't know what you're referring to. To my knowledge you always had to use the parent to read to children (unless they changed that somewhere along the way) but if you have it for children on new bookshelves, could you post a picture ?

It's in the title mate, I mean the "read with an adult" aspiration thing for children.
It's crazy, and no it has nothing to do with the bookshelf itself. It's the books. You're supposed to be able to click on childrens book, as an adult, and the "read to child" action will pop up. However if it doesn't you literally have to buy a new bookcase in order to do it. It makes no sense but it's what happens.
I only know it was a bug in 2014 because I searched it up on a thread on this very website, to figure out how to deal with it.@ribovirian Yes, that's literally the problem. I open the bookcase, lookat the books take them out the inventory, literally everything I can think of to do with the children's book BUT the option just isn't there until I buy a new bookcase. (Might also work if you just buy a new book too, haven't tried it)
@MeltingPenguins Yes, I have done all that, but the option wasn't availiable until I bought a new bookcase for some reason. Now every time this bug happens im going to have to buy a new bookcase (or i'm guessing a new book, but I haven't tried that yet)

@KatastrophicSim Do you have the issue in your own house as well ?
I can duplicate this on the vacation lot but if I buy books there, it works fine so it looks like it has something to do with ownership of the book.
If it's in your own house, at what point do you loose the ability on the book ? Does it work form Sims inventory ?EDIT: Could you link to a thread that you're referring to ? There was a lot of issues in the past with knowing where the find the interaction in the first place.
- KatastrophicSim6 years agoRising Hotshot@crinrict Yeah, once the issue occurs the only way to rid of it is to buy a new bookcase, and as I was on vacation at the time I couldn't do that, but yes, when I got home it didn't work there either until I bought a new bookcase.
I'm pretty sure it didn't work before I went on vacation too because I don't remember seeing the interaction before when childrens books are left out.
When the bug happens it doesn't work at all, ever. In the inventory, out of the inventory, on the floor, in the adults inventory, in the child's inventory, on the floor but near the child and adult. It just doesn't exist until you buy a new bookcase.
The thread is here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/adult-sim-read-to-child-sims-4/m-p/3463029/highlight/true#M8746
That's how I knew I could do it after I bought a new bookcase.
