Sims can only order books they already own

Since downloading the latest update, my sims can only order books that they already own.  This is true whether I go through their bookcases or their computer.

I'm playing on Mac, if that makes a difference!  I have some expansion packs but no mods or cc.

I did not see this issue addressed in any of the currently active bug reports, but apologies if I've missed something!

  • Hi TheMadChaotician​ 

    just gave this a test and my Sim can still order everything.

    Did you test multiple Households/Saves ?

    Also did you never use mods/cc or remove them (please pick a thread tag for that)

  • Attaching screenshots of all the books a particular sim can order.

    Just tested on another, much newer save and am having the same trouble in both game saves.

    I have never used mods or cc!

  • Interesting -- I can order other books on a new save.  Is there anything I can do to fix the old saves?

    Was it a different household in the old save or was that just a older copy of the same save ?

  • I tried two completely different save files and had the same problem in both.  I have not tried different households in the same save.  I'm not sure how to open an older copy of the same save -- I'm not in the habit of backing up saved games.

    Was just wondering if it's the same family.

    Could you test another household in the save (and backups are your friend :D)
