Writer's Block moodlet not showing/Sims refuse to write for no reason

Hello, I understand that this is a resolved thread, however this is happening again. This was not a fault of mine 2 months ago, but appears to be now. My Sim is creative, so, a want, to finish a book pops up. I write a book, but it never materialise, and they can never finish it, it keeps stating resume book.

Shall I start a new bug report? or can you reopen and check if there is a bug present, you state repair the game, my game is UpToDate, and no need for repairs.

Interestingly the finish a book want goes once I tell them to scrap the book.

Many thanks,

Hi, I've recently been having an issue where my sim cannot finish writing a book. They get about 90% through the action and then it auto cancels/just disappears from the queue. The first thing I did was uninstall my mods and repair the game, this worked at first but after they had finished one book the same issue started happening. The sim was able to finish writing books as a child but is now a teenager. I have tried repairing my game again and this does not seem to work, and I have not put mods back in my folder since the initial repair. I cannot figure out what may be causing this.

I have exactly the same problem, has been happening for some time. I had a look at my sims buffs and there's no writer's block (they can start a new book also), they just simply won't finish some books.

Hey, there is still no way on this forum to send PM, and it's not described in this post also.
