No skill books in library
I downloaded a nice little library from the gallery and placed it in Newcrest. Unfortunately, when my sim visits there, there are no skill books at all in the bookshelves. I looked online for answe...
Hi @RaichiSims - There are a lot of simmers with much more experience in this type of thing than I. I'm sure someone who knows what they're doing will come along shortly. 🙂
In the meantime, I know a couple of things that you could check. I just recently used a cheat (my first time) and it seems that a lot of simmers who are used to using them neglect to tell you that you have to turn the cheats on first in order for the code to work. Just in case this is the problem, bring up the cheat code window (ctrl-shift-c) and enter "testingcheats on" without the quotation marks. Then enter your cheat code. Once you're done, turn the cheats off by entering "testingcheats off" and then exit by doing ctrl-shift-c again.
I'm not in-game at the moment, so can't test to see if the code you have is the right one, but I'll ping back if I find anything.
I could swear I got skill books from the library - did you download from the "My Gallery" (Maxis created library) or the online Gallery? If it wasn't made by Maxis, then it might be different than the actual game libraries in some way. I do know you should be able to research skills on the computers at the library, even if there are no skill books there.
Hope this helps! If not, please reply back and hopefully one of the more knowledgeable simmers will probably know the answers. Happy Simming!
I know how cheats work and that I have to turn on for it to work first.
I figured after I made the post that someone was going to suggest the obvious, so it's on me for not being thorough enough in my explanation.
When I say download from the gallery I mean a creation by another simmer, not a creation by EA.
If you like to test it yourself, the creation was "Library" by user vpmh87.
Situation still very much unresolved. I would like to be able to read skill books at any library, not just the standard libraries that came with the game.
I think I will leave your question to someone with more experience in the game 🙂 Maybe @PugLove888 or @SheriGR have some insight that could help?
