Can't Write Books

[wmintert]

My Sim has a level 10 for Writing but is not able to write anything other than a love email, an excuse note and practicing writing.  I do not get an option to write a book or anything else.

Found it!  Thank you so much, Phantomlover1717, for suggesting/sharing the 50/50 method.  While certainly tedious, it was a methodical way to isolate the problem.

Are you using mods in your game ?

[wmintert]

Unfortunately, yes.  Pooh...any work around?

Try taking out your mod folder, place it on your desktop. Test the game, if it works, try the 50/50 method to find the conflicting CC/Mod.

Thank you, Phantomlover1717.  Can you give a bit more information of what the 50/50 method is?

Maybe this helps:

The chart helps you understand how the 50/50 method works.

Could you share which mod was broken for you ?

Helps the next person find it faster.

Sure!  I had a mod called "Tanja1986_No autonomous Computer 1.1" which appeared to be preventing all of the Sims in my household with a high enough writing level to actually write books.  After removing that mod, the option came back.  Not sure what other functionality might be missing by removing the mod, though.  Hope that helps.

It does. Thank you
