Write book, without computer?

Maybe you could use the computers in the library?

No, you have to have a computer. I believe it's been that way in TS2, and 3. Can't remember whether you could write books in TS1, but I'm pretty sure you needed a computer then, too.

Trips to the library I'm afraid.

I could use the computers in the library, but... that takes all the fun out of having this family :s I sort of made an abusive husband with a wife from like 150 years back... It was already a pain in the ass that there is hardly any clothes that match this description. I guess I need to find her another outlet from her abusive husband ;)

If you're ok with mods, this will do. From the comments I assume it still works.

Yes they made it rather easy this time around. CC works the same. Some mods are script mods and those you do not unzip. The mod descriptions list everything usually.

It's long past time we had a way to write without a computer.

Some of us started out with just a pad and a pencil, writing it in long hand or printing… Didn't get my first typewriter for years. Then another several years before I got any kind of computer. Now, I can't live (or write) without it. LOL

For my 1960s family I use this

A really cool typewriter

It works great and is labeled as a computer, so it has all of the functions that a computer comes with.

I still use pen and paper for writing if I don't have a computer to hand. :-) I did today actually because I wrote in my lunch break at work/
