Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living, Vampires, Holiday Celebration Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Click on a book to view it's available options. Also click on a bookcase and select a skill book from the 'read...' menu.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I click on a book on a table, the only options available are 'analyze', 'put away', 'put in inventory'. And when I click on a bookcase and select a skill book from the 'read...' menu, my sim doesn't learn anything from it.
What do you expect to see? Sims should be able to read books and learn skills from skill books.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The issue started happening after the latest patch update was installed (March 8th, 2018, PC 1.41.38.1020)
My sims can't read any books and it's very frustrating when you're trying to learn the vampire lore skill to earn vampire points.
I made a video to show what is happening; https://youtu.be/nvNlUxNWV5I
EDIT (Crin): This bug only occurs if you don't have GTW installed
Solved! Go to Solution.

- You may have been perplexed when you noticed that you couldn’t read anymore. Weird, right? Well just as mysteriously as the ability disappeared, it’s back. Try it, I promise you can do it now.
Fixed in Patch 1.41.42
Good Luck

You're initial report had mods/cc put to yes.
I'll check my game.
EDIT: Works fine for me. Could you try repairing your game and als try a new save for testing purposes.

Just did a quick test with vampires and the lore too.
For the skill. Are you sure they're reading the right book for they're skill level ?
Do you see the same issue for other skills ?

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck
