Cannot purchase books, cannot cook, cannot upgrade objects

1. No mods, no CC

2. Cannot purchase all skill books from bookshelf or computer. The list is incomplete.

3. Cannot upgrade objects (upgrade parts are in inventory and handiness skill is maxed out)

4. With Simple living challenge, cannot cook food (prepped ingredients, etc are available and cooking/gourmet skills are maxed out)

5. Uninstalled/reinstalled game, deleted EA folder and started fresh. Problems solved but returned after a day of playtime.

    For clarification, when Sim A purchases a book through the bookshelf or computer, it only lists the books they already own. I switched households and told Sim B to buy books (he hasn't bought any books before). The purchase books screen only shows the books that Sim A already owned (who lives in another house).

    1. Which books are you missing ? Can you post a screenshot ?
    2. What happens ? Are they still greyed out ?
    3. Same question ? Are they greyed out or what happens ?

    Does this happen with every Sim and a new save with a new Sim ?
