God bless this mod i was getting fired at my sims never putting their books away thank you omg

helpful and really appreciate the work and effort into the smallest mods (((:

Awesome. Thanks.

This mod has been checked and no changes are required for the latest (August 8) game patch.

A minor bug was fixed in the script portion of version 6 of the mod and the upload has been updated. If you previously upgraded to version 6, this can correct some issues when sims "reset" themselves due to a game failure. If you have Keep Instruments in Inventory you would also need to update your copy of that mod to ensure the two mod's scripts are identical.

Sorry to bother you with a stupid question but I've never installed a script mosd before and I have a hard time understanding the instructions! I have a Mac so I can't "open" zip-files like in Windows, only convert them to folders, so when I unzip I am left with the original zip and a folder containing a package-file and a ts4script-file. What should I do next?

No problem, there are no stupid questions (actually there are, but this isn't really one of them!), just take both the package and the ts4script file that you unzipped and copy or move them into your mods folder. Your mods folder should then look something like the attached screenshot. You can then remove the folder that was temporarily created for unzipping, or keep it as an archive.

So I put the latest updated version of this mod in my game. My Sims are not putting books away. They just close them and that's it. I've attached my lastException file.

I'm having issues also with the v6 version. My Sims leave their books everywhere but the bookcase.

That exception is caused by a missing line in the script file that I corrected. Make sure that both the Put Books Away and Keep Instruments (if you have that one as well) scripts are dated August 6th. You can download version 6 again and install over it if you're not sure.

Sims will occasionally not put books away (but typically with this mod they should). Usually if they choose not to it will be because they can't find a bookshelf, but sometimes they've just decided "Oh, I have something better to do" (even when that something better is to stand around like a statue). It's very frustrating when it starts breaking again. It used to work nearly perfectly, until EA changed something somewhere about how they prioritize putting things away.

The worst bit that can happen is that a sim will get stuck with a book in their hand sometimes and there's usually nothing you can do about it but reset that sim manually. So yes, even after getting the updated v6 script, there are still some issues and the mod needs to be revisited one of these days. In the meantime, sorry for the imperfections, but it is still better than the default behavior most of the time.

Thanks scumbumbo. I reinstalled it just in case (even thought the date on it was August 11th) so hopefully it'll work as intended, for the most part. Hopefully one day you'll get the chance to revamp the mod, but for now it is 10 times better than vanilla.

Thank you for created this mod! It's very good.

This mod has been checked and no changes are required for the latest (September 1, 2015) game patch.

Thank you!

Does this need updating for the September 24th patch or not?

thanks

Sorry, yes it had been checked and it should be fine.

Hihi! Nice mod! But I've got a feedback. I believe this mod conflicts with the resurrection from Book of Life. I tried the Book of Life on a ghost with this mod, what happened was that a "resurrection" would queue, but then it would be pushed upward by the "Putting book back" action. Thing is, resurrection requires the destruction of the Book of Life, but the game doesn't know how to destroy the book once it's been moved into the shelf, hence the resurrection fails.

Nope, cancelling the "Putting book back" action doesn't help, the action itself persisted, lol. The only solution I found, if you wanna keep the mod, is to sell or move ALL the bookshelves into the build inventory. Hope this help, lol.

Thank you for this mod, my sims are constantly leaving their books on the kitchen table so no one can eat there.
