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.
Just to be sure, this is when you direct them to read a book not when they decide to do it on their own ?
This may be a new issue (the not sitting down for sure is) since it only seems to happen when you have a TV present.
Could you go to the library to see if it also happens there ?
EDT: This seems to be a new issue. I don't think it's connected to the old fixed one.
Making a new thread out of it
The issue has only happened to me at home, I believe, but I will go to a library and try this out and see if it persists.
EDIT: It seems that my sims will finish books without an issue at libraries, I do indeed think it's just at home where they have this issue so far!
Confirm, I see this as well
Duplicated and added
