Edit: This will complete the current milestone. If you just want to complete that part of it, there's a mod that will allow you to do so by right clicking. http://modthesims.info/d/558548

Yay thank you! ^____^ Yeah I just wanted to complete that milestone cause of the bug.

I also have same bug. Is there a place to report the bug?

Yeah okay I was raising Toothy's vampire rank up and read all those tomes pretty quick. Then I found out, from this forum, that there is a vampire aspiration, so I changed his current one to that one, and one of the goals is to read the Ultimate Tome. Toothy had already read it though, so I made him reread it anyway and nothing is happening. He has read the book for hours and he never 'finishes' so the aspiration is now borked and I can't complete it. I even tried selling the tome and buying a new copy, but the same thing happens.

I, er, Toothy, is a sad vampire :( Is there any cheats to 'complete' it without actually doing so? I'm happy to say he just got to Grand Vamp though :3

You sure he finished reading it? I noticed long ago with books that sometimes (not sure if it's always) if you've already read through the book once, it will no longer show the progress bar when you read it again. The progress bar for completing it is essentially invisible, but it still exists in the sense that there's a start and a finish point.

I suspect this is an ancient "bug" and the bug is that it doesn't show you the progress bar on a second or more read-through.

Cause I ran into the same thing, I'm pretty sure, where it seemed like it was taking a while. But I just persisted (being aware of that old bug in the back of my mind) and eventually it gave me the completion.

How does it take to finish reading though? He was reading it for a super long time.

Hmm. That's a good question. Keep in mind if he stops for a bit and then goes back to it, it should pick up where he left off (assuming it's working properly).

But honestly, I'm not sure on numbers at all. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd throw out something in the realm of 5 total sim hours, but I haven't tested it while keeping an eye on time. I was a little surprised that in doing a search around, I'm not finding a set amount of time in a guide for how long it takes. Which makes me think it's either different for each book, or it's been so irrelevant in most gameplay that no one bothered to figure it out.

Something for me to go test.

Hello
You may like to post feedback on this thread on the AHQ EA site.

@tobumon I just did some testing with the different tomes.

9:15am to 2:10pm vol1 (roughly 5 hours)

2:34pm to 8:18pm vol2 (a little under 6 hours)

8:24pm to 12:00am vol3 (about 3 and a half hours)

12:06am to 3:42am ultimate (about 3 and a half hours)

Mind you, this was first read, no prior vampire lore skill. So with each book, it automatically stopped me when I reached the point where the tome no longer added to my skill gains (with the exception of the Ultimate, which I had to stop myself). If you are rereading, I'm not sure if it would stop you at the same place, or stop you at all on its own, for that matter.

Some books seem to be bugged to where you could sit and read them forever if nothing got in the way, like needs. I tried the Gluttonspiel to see if there was any kind of common time on books. I had needs cheated off and my sim sat there reading it for 24 hours before I finally ended it manually. And the book said "reread" when they put it down, so they had definitely read through it all the way for the first time. It wasn't a 24+ read, in other words. :tongue: Then again, I did have autonomy off to track time undisturbed, so maybe that borked the testing with the Gluttonspiel.

Yeah my game is definitely bugged then. Toothy was ready for 10+ hours and nothing happened.

Did it say Re-Read the book? If it didn't say that he hasn't really finished it. Try searching vampire lore again now that's he is a vampire and buy a new book.
