If anyone's still seeing this I'd really appreciate if you could share a save file where you've seen it occurring. You can DM the link to me, thanks so much for the help!
Any headway on this bug? I was pretty stoked to open up a new bookstore after enjoying owning a store to sell another sim's artwork but this issue pretty much instantly squashed the enthusiasm; it's not a small bug if it turns bookstore management into an exercise in tediously hunting and re-shelving books that your sim has taken into inventory! Customers aren't AS bad about it but my controlled sim constantly wants to read the books and just tucks them in his pocket when he's done flipping pages.
Will stick to just selling them to publishers for now I guess until I can level up something else to make marketable goods!
(No mods here, tried all the "usual" troubleshooting steps, before anyone suggests that)
I don't think there's a workaorund to this.
