It does sound as if this is the case if Books you wrote before the patch no longer work. I have a number of Books of Life and they will all summon the ghost of a sim, but all my books were written since the update.

Then I'm not sure what to really believe and am more confused right now. I'm literally looking at the Bestselling Author aspiration that states the following:
"Poetic Sims can capture life itself in a book, and wield it to bring back someone they've lost."
Special attention at "capture life itself" as it means bring back that Sim and not their ghost form (as ghost form is not life, it's after-life). I was confident that this was working as intended based on my experiences prior to the update. It's an aspiration from the Creativity branch for heavens sakes. I will have to start a new side game and re-test in case my current game is corrupt.
