Writing book never finishes

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 Chellepie360
It was just marked as resolved as OP never came back.
- Are you using mods/cc ?
- Could you post a picture of your queue and where it says resume book ? There is still a known issue where the progress resets when you resume.
- Repairing the game helps with issues even if your game is up-to-date.

Hello crinrict, Weirdly, I played on Sunday (6/04/2025) and it worked just fine. Thought I would try again today, as just saw your post and would mention that all is good, however, its doing it again. I would send a pic, but it does not give much, as it just disappears (the action), the computer makes a loading sound and then goes away. That's about it.
I think with it being okay one day and then not another there is something weird going on, I will have a look to see if the game needs repairing. (Another side note action to water plants also disappears mainly when off lot)
I have no mods or cc.
Many thanks

Yours sounds like this one: Writer's Block moodlet not showing/Sims refuse to write for no reason | EA Forums - 11603233
Would explain why it worked and then not.

For me too. Never had this problem before today. And I removed all mods, vanilla game, still the same issue.
UPDATE: I removed mods, and localcache and repaired the game. My sim finally finished the fours books on hold.
