"Read to Youngsters" Fix for Novellas Nouveau Bookcase in FreeTime
LdDarcy_BookcaseArtNouveauFix_FT.jpg - width=480 height=350

Many people noticed that Novellas Nouveau Bookcase (Art Nouveau Bookcase) is missing "Read to... (Youngsters)" function in FreeTime. The function is there, but is erroneously labeled under "Discuss..." menu, because EAxis borked a text string file for this bookcase.
This is a little fix that restores "Read to Youngsters" (toddlers and children) function to Novellas Nouveau Bookcase. I even reported this bug in the official bug report thread over at BBS, along with several other glitches that can be easily found and fixed in about 5 minutes, but the pulled FT patch didn't address these issues. I almost forgot that I made this fix in March until I came upon a BBS post reporting this bug.
The 3rd FreeTime patch did NOT fix this bug, either.


Now part of Pie Menu Text Strings Fix, which also fixes similar problems in other objects.

About Me
I have my own section at MATY now. Visit DarcyLand for some more goodies that are not available in MTS2.
Check this MATY thread for AL compatibility of my hacks. All my mods are now confirmed to be compatible with AL, or updated to AL.
Recently I'm getting a lot of PMs asking how to update various custom objects like fridges or computers up to FreeTime.
I wrote a tutorial for updating custom fridges and computers to FreeTime. For other types of objects, go read this MATY thread where a lot of information is gathered. A similar thread for AL is here.
==============================================================================
Basically, you can do whatever you want with my creations, as long as they stay free. You can upload them to other free sites, include them in lots or Sims, modify them if you want.
Please make a link back to my original MTS2 threads, in case I update my past creations. If you're reuploading my mods to other sites, please keep them up to date. Check my MTS2 journal for updates of past creations..
My only 2 restrictions are:
- Do NOT upload them to PAY sites (including TSR) and Exchange.
- Don't claim them as your own.
