Sims keep holding invisible book after putting it down

After Sim reads Vol 3 of Thant. book, it remains in the Sims hand invisibly until I Save/Exit. When I return it is fine. If I try to read the book again, the same bug happens.  The Sim is not able to do anything including cooking, jogging, showering, etc. when the bug is active. 

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ

Note from EA_Solaire:

    Is the Sim holding an invisible book or is it visible in his hand ?

    Going to go ahead and assume it's the same issue reported at AHQ.

    Vanilla game, new save after base game update, no CC, no mods. 

    Sims picks up book but can't hold it, books goes to floor and hand stays clenched.

    This also happened when I had a Sim give another a foot massage, the hand stuck. 

    Resetting fixes it temporarily but it keeps happening over and over as soon as an item is touched.

    Screenshot 1 - First instance after trying to read. 

    Screenshot 2 - Second instance, two Sims stuck after trying to read (the first one had been reset once, but then quickly went back to the clasped hand)

    Thank you

    After the patch that released with the new enchanted by nature expansion pack i noticed that sometimes books get so buggy , whenever a sim finishes reading any type of books and putting it away the sim holding book animation keeps playing and never ends unless i reset the sim or the book using cheats .

  • Everytime my sim reads a book they have there hand in the position of holding a book and I have to reset the sim
