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.

This can happen with any object a sim can hold though(yes even toddlers, I've had that happen..), it just commonly happens with books.

Oh, Dear, I Think He Flushed the Book!

I tried to get my sim to read a skill book. I found it floating in the ocean.

My sims haven't ever lost at book (that I know of...hmmm) but homework? Man, that stuff vanishes all the time. I have had to buy new homework books several times for different sims. Then, a sim day or two later, it will show up, like magic, right on the floor. I wonder if other sims have been stealing my sims homework. B) University kids are the worst. I have learned to watch them closely and check their inventories constantly.

they do sometimes end up with two or more copies of the same book in their inventories, though. My sims are wierd.

I've taken to purchasing at least ten extra homework notebooks at Uni, even before one goes missing!

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
