I also have this issue. I didn't try with autonomy off--which I might attempt later. However, a sim who actually has the bookworm trait refuses to sit and read even if she hasn't finished the book before. I don't remember having the issue before the City Living expansion, but it might've been there--I haven't played much in a while.
Basically I couldn't get my sim to sit and read until I removed the TV from the house. She would always self-interrupt to go turn the TV on and watch it instead. And yet she will autonomously pick up books and then leave them lying around. I haven't noticed her sticking to the choice to read when she does it on her own, but maybe she does and I just end up interrupting her.
This is not a club situation; my sim is not a member of any club. It happened on her home lot in an apartment.
I don't even know if just removing the TV will fix it in all situations, but whatever it is about the magnetic pull of the TV vs. books, that needs fixing so bookworms and studious skillbook reading sims can read again.
Yeah my sims do this as well. I always have to babysit them and keep clicking on the book over and over to get them to finish reading it.
My Sims will read the book, but it won't count toward Books read read for the Knowledge Aspirations, I can reread the book but it still counts as 0 Books read. So I cannot progress beyond the first tier of any Knowledge Aspiration that require the completion of Finish Reading Three Books.
So essentially I am being denied the ability to achieve these Aspirations , therefore I am not getting the game experience that I paid for. This is clearly an ongoing issue that has yet to be resolved. Fobbing off your troubleshooting to Community members seems like a very poor way of addressing troubleshooting issues and seems like a way to avoid the responsibility of releasing an actual working game . Lift your game EA, I long for the days of Maxxis when this game worked as promised. (Sorry to the the innocent Community Helper who reads this, it is not your job to fix their bugs,)
This is happening in my save also. The sim is not a spellcaster, it is in fact Gunther Munch (who has joined my sim family) and it is when I direct him to read a book.
