Adding skill books to library bookcases Sept 1, 2018 21:17:57 GMT -5

Post by Bertie Black on Sept 1, 2018 21:17:57 GMT -5

I'm trying to add skill books to show up in bookcases whenever Sims go to the library. The bookcases that appear in Willow Creek Archive by default do this, but they use their own tuning (object_bookshelf_library) that no other bookcase in the game uses, and they can't be placed in the game without cheats/cloning the object in S4S. I'd like to replicate this tuning for all bookcases, not just that one.

I tried editing the object_bookshelf tuning:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

... which does work, but that affects all newly bought bookcases, even on residential lots. I'd prefer that this is the default inventory only for library bookcases.

Is there a way to do this through tuning, or ideally scripting, so it would be more compatible with updates/CC bookcases? I know a little bit about scripting, but I'm not sure how to make this one work.

I know nothing about scripting I'm afraid but I would have thought that you would need to make specific bookcases for library use with this tuning which is probably why EA hid the library bookcase with the skillbooks from the catalogue in the first place.

The only other method I can think of, which shouldn't require any modding, would be to go onto a library lot, open the debug catalogue and purchase a bunch of skill books from there and place them around the lot. Since there wouldn't be a specific Sim purchasing them they should belong to the lot and not get deleted by the game. I haven't actually tried this before though. I could be entirely wrong.

im working on this right now and i found this post. i was able to get a cloned version of the bookcase show up by unchecking "is baby". do you mind if i use the tuning you posted? the thought of adding allll the books one by one is a lot 😬
