    How to work around the case where a book written in Sims 4 is sold in a store but returns to your possession after a parcel move. Known bugs.
    ⚽ Write a book in Household A and put it in the store.
    🏈 Sell the store from the map.
    🏀 Household B can get the whole book and sell it by re-buying the store. In other words, you can make the book someone else's property (it was).
    The author's name will disappear if Household A is deleted.

    I wish the officials would fix the bug.

  • I have the solution! Put the books in your sim's personal inventory. Go to the home lot. Place the books in home lot somewhere. Then go into build mode and put the books into the household inventory. Then go back to the retail lot and place books in the store from the household inventory. They will not go back to your personal inventory. It's a pain, but it works!

    @Crayola4321Yup, just discovered this bug, in my case with the magic tomes as well. I'd gone to the trouble of having my spellcaster sim collect EVERY SINGLE tome (not with debug, but actually in the game) with the intention of having them open up a magic tome bookshop (this was kind of the story I was running in my head, that this was their dream/goal type of thing, to open a magic bookshop, playing them diligently collecting with an eye towards their dream bookshop, ect ect) only to find that the only way to do it would be to manually set the books out and set them for sale EVERY TIME they go to the shop. Such a bummer :/

    Edit to say that the above suggestion by @ivorypianist did work for me, and they were right, it was kind of a pain, BUT at least there is some kind of work around. Still hope they fix this!
