Write Song / Book / Lyrics Loses Progress

That only happens to me if the Sim has gone through a loading screen. Resuming a book works okay as long as I haven't traveled to another lot, gone into CAS, gone into Manage Worlds, exited and then reloaded the save, etc. 

I've had the same experience as Sketch793 since 2024. But not just with writing songs or writing books. It also happens to reading a book or watching a movie. Popcorn and coffee also reset, so they never spoil. It seems any time you go through a loading screen that the whole house resets, and you lose progress on anything and everything.

I play on PC. No mods or CC - never installed them. 

composing a song on guitar starts and never advances. 

I don't have this issue on a violin but I do on guitars. I've tried every single guitar. My poor Sim is really struggling to finish a song. She keeps ending up with the dazed moodlet from too much creativity. If I stop though, I can't go back because she starts over from the beginning!

Honestly: until this is fixed (yeah yeah, we all know it will never be as EA doesn't give a **bleep** about its players/customers) the only workaround is to get a vampire character, as it is very low maintenance (doesn't need sleep, which helps fenominally in achieving a written song/book in one sitting :D) and getting everyone experiencing this bug to upvote this topic.

I seem to be able to resume books - at first they look like they're starting from the beginning - but then they catch up.

Songs resume from the near the beginning and never catch up. They seem stuck, but they do eventually finish. Writing 4 songs for the Musical Genius Aspiration is painful.
