Writing on the notepad is actually updating the progress, if I let it run a while, cancel and then resume, it shows that progress was made but, of course, still doesn't show any progress during the writing process. If I let it resume long enough, it thinks the book is completed. I can still resume writing it, but it no longer shows any progress bar at all.
Yes, that's exactly the behaviour I'm seeing as well =) .. it's almost working, only the part where the game understands that this book is finished now is somehow borked (i.e. the transition from the staging phase to create book is never made). Sims also gain writing skill and writer's block like they should.
Regarding which object sims use to resume writing stuff: which version of the notebook are you using? The updates (v1.1 and 1.2) that I posted in the upload thread both have
True set (which means the sim should try and use the object you clicked on -- "If True, this interaction will prefer to take the Sim to the part near where you clicked in world." ) . This is not set in the original upload and also not in the XML I posted above.
But anyhow, the behaviour you describe actually makes total sense to me .. writing something on a computer would mean the text file is on the computer, so I'd use that to continue. This seems to be working as designed .. I just wonder what would happen when a sim is taking a notebook to some other lot and tries to continue there; I've never tested that scenario. Not with laptops either btw.
