MCCC may prevent opening the lost AA scrapbooks

I started a thread over in Gameplay Questions: AA How do I "Find Lost Scrapbook" 

Disabling the "put books away" option in MCCC sort of fixed the problem I was having with children canceling the "Find Lost Scrapbook" option in my regular (modded) game.

However testing with my vanilla TS4 folder from the Forever Friends event had mixed results.

    I found no corelation between this issue and MCCC.  I tried clicking on "Find lost scrapbook" in the base game with no MCCC or any other mods loaded.  Most of the time, it does nothing.  Sometimes, it shows the "reading scrapbook" interaction progress, but when it finishes no formative moments trigger.  That's vanilla game with no custom content. 

    I tried it with MCCC and found the exact same behavior.  Most of the times, it does nothing.  Sometimes, it shows the "reading scrapbook" interaction progress, but when it finishes no formative moments trigger.

    I've also tried it with multiple children in different households.  Always the same behavior, in my tests, regardless of whether MCCC was loaded or not.

    As it is now, unless I am provided a save file and settings on the support Discord server, there's nothing else I can do to look at it further.  Seems to be working exactly the same whether MCCC is in the game or not.

    DizzyDee-K​ You might want to report this to Deaderpool to see if he can see why it would be happening with MCCC. Also people there might know if it's a known issue already. (I haven't heard that it is and I'm not able to test for it right now.) 

  • Yes. All mods removed. Nothing but the newest MCCC. Also vanilla game. 

    I found that finding lost scrapbooks was not constant is a vanilla game. The animation is aborted and nothing happens.

    It didn't work at all my regular game with just MCCC. They took the book out and immediately put it away. When I disabled "put books away" it worked "better." So, suspected, but not 100% conclusive: Hence "may prevent." 

    I don't have a huge number of mods, so when I have more time I'll probably do more checking. 

    If someone else runs into this problem, it's a place to start.
