My Sim had the whim to finish reading a book. So, I had him take out one from the bookcase. "Love in the Time of Sandwiches". This was a mistake, because although he appeared to be done in the bathroom, evidently, he was not. He walked back in (and I thought he was going to multi-task, read while doing his business). Nope, he flushed the toilet and the book isn't anywhere. I checked his inventory and no, it's not there. I can only conclude he deemed it a distasteful piece of waste material and did the only logical thing and gave it the deep plunge. :open_mouth: LOL

That's hilarious. Have you put the walls up to make sure it's not on a shelf? Maybe outside? Also, check to make sure you don't have any filters set in his inventory. I'm 100% sure that's not supposed to happen. :D

Well, all I can say to that is Joey is a bonifide genius. He may have a reason behind it's mysterious disappearance. :open_mouth:

That's easily the best method I've seen a sim do to avoid the book glitch.

Oh, Dear, I Think He Flushed the Book!

I play with only the cutout wall. The only place I found a copy of the same title, oddly enough, was at the medical clinic. Joey hadn't been there recently, though. LOL

Haha, that's so funny. Maybe he needs to be a spellcaster

I don't think his priest would approve … Besides he's on track to becoming a physician. They can apply a certain form of magic, right?

I've had a Sim doing her college homework, just to have it disappear when she got up (I'm not talking about the glitch where Sims put in on the ground and are still "holding" it in their hands). Going back into the save the next time, I will find it floating in the air somewhere, after I've bought another book for her. I bring the hammer down on the original homework at that point.
Maybe it's happening to you too?

Sh, that's NOT what an author likes or wants to hear, you know. ;) But I do appreciate your candor.
