@KatastrophicSim That thread was more a misunderstanding of things and the solution post is about medicine so I don't think that's still the same issue.
I do believe it has something to do with ownership. It seems you can't use books that don't belong to the Sim (which just as well might be a bug) but it's strange that for you it stops working at some point in your own house.
I wasn't able to read to children at libraries either cause they didn't own the book. I'm unsure if that was possible at some point.
Any idea when it stops ? Any specific interactions ? Could you try if it works if you buy a new children's book ?
If it happens again with bookcases in your own home, could you share your save ?
It seems to reset somewhat after saving and exiting (meaning after you exit and come back it'slike a 50/50 chance of whether the books will be readable to children after). Also after finishing a book it sometimes activates. I saw after finishing a book with the kid I could no longer do it with that same book. I did it again with a different book and I could totally read it to the kid again after. It seems completely random.
I did try the "buy a new book" thing and yea that works too. If you buy a book again, you can read that book, but the previous books will still remain unreadable (to children).
How do I share my save? Because yeah, at the moment some books are readable to children and some just aren't, all childrens books, all doing the same process, some just don't want to be read to children.

- crinrict6 years agoHero+@KatastrophicSim I tested your save and could find one book that I couldn't read to the child.
It was also impossible to put it it any Sims inventory and it said it's now owned by the family. So that points to the ownership issue again.
All other books in the book case did have the option to read to the child for me.
Some cc was removed when I loaded your lot so maybe there's a conflict with that ?- KatastrophicSim6 years agoRising Hotshot@crinrict Did you check the duplicates though? Also soooo now is that book you found readable for you or not?
The CC is purely cosmetic, and none of the mod CC I ever used has anything to do with books. Just bug fixes.- crinrict6 years agoHero+
@KatastrophicSim It was a book in a stack (First Unicorn). That book didn't have the option but it was also not owned by the Sim (which I don't know if it's a bug or not but it comes down to the issue I pointed out before with off-lot books. You can't read books to children that you don't own).
All others had the read to children interaction on them. I didn't actually tried reading to them cause I thought you're reporting that you don't have the option ?The option also if course isn't there on non-children's book (just mentioning that)
