[GTW] [BH] Some Book Cover change when placed on a retail display

The Fabrication skill books that came with Eco Lifestyle incorrectly use the Mixology skill book textures making them the only skill books without unique textures of their own. The Fabrication textures exist in the game files but are not correctly assigned.

The display versions are also incorrectly linked so that the books remain flat when placed on retail surfaces instead of switching to the standing version.

This issue also affects the Sim-written skill manual version as well.

I've attached an image of the intermediate book display, as found in the game files, which shows one of the correct textures.

The display versions of many of the other books in game are incorrectly linked or broken as well but that goes beyond the reporting of this specific issue.

    The issue does also affect Small Business displays as well, yes.

    The issue with the Fabrication books specifically, is that they have the wrong texture even when placed on regular surfaces. You can see in the attached image that the book looks like a Mixology book but it isn't. It has the wrong textures entirely.

    yeah but it was also reported in the old thread so it's probably already tracked as part of that. 

    Don't have own cover :
    Fabrication skill have same cover with the mixology skill in even in retail shelf or not.

    I'll wait on CM to tell me what to do with this.

    I do think there was a separate thread for the books remaining flat but I couldn't find that one.
