Can't finish writing a book

★★★ Newbie

I've been having this issue for over a year and still no help anywhere on how to fix it?

 

I'll try to have my sim write a book, but unless they finish it in one sitting the progress completely resets and I have to start all over again! This is such a hard thing to deal with considering most of the time finishing a higher level book takes so long that you can't just ignore their needs!!! 

 

I have already tested to see if it's the mods I added onto my game and although that seems to be the problem I can't tell which one it is, and even after deleting ALL the mods and repairing the game, the glitch remains! 

 

I love this game and the writing skill but because of this glitch I can't enjoy the writing career/hobby at all, or my favorite mods because I can't deduce which one of them is causing the glitch since slowly putting some in and taking them out to test if it works again does nothing. 

 

The last things I can find on this topic are already 1-2 years ago and I haven't found anything to solve this problem so any help I can get on this would be great.

It's a known bug. You don't have to write it in one session. You just can't leave the lot in between as it's the loading screen that resets the progress.

I don't even think there's a mod that solves the issue.

Do you have any mods or Custom Content? If so please remove them and see if that solves the problem.

 

If you do not have any mods or custom content, pleas try repairing the game via Origin and see if that resolves your problem with finishing books.

Consoles can't support mods, so no.

This thread is from 2016 and this particular bug was solved a while ago. Don't know if it's still an issue on console.

 

it's best if you create a new bug report for console here: 

 

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

 

The more details you can give the better.

 

There is an open bug report for PC here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sim-no-longer-resumes-writing-books/m-p/6880454#M64187 so you'll find some info there as well but it's probably still better to keep a separate thread for console.
