Mods: Put Books Away Mod by scumbumbo from Mod The Sims
Put Books Away Mod
This mod will queue an action to put a book back on the shelf once a sim has finished reading. If the sim cannot find a bookshelf close enough that is available, they will place the book in their inventory. In addition, if the Place in World action is chosen for a book in the sims inventory, they will instead put the book on an available bookshelf.
Installation
This mod is a bit different than most as it contains both a standard package file and a script mod. Both must be installed for the mod to work properly, but the installation isn’t all that complex.
Unzip both files contained in the main zip file you downloaded into your Mods folder. You should end up with a package file named ‘MTS_Scumbumbo_PutBooksAway’ AND a zip file named ‘MTS_Scumbumbo_PutBooksAway_Script’ in the Mods folder.
Make sure that scripting mods are enabled in the game options (on the “Other” tab). Be sure to check this setting after updating the game for a new patch, as if you don’t turn off the show mods at startup option the game will disable scripts after an update is installed.
If you need a reference for how this should be setup, see my Keep Instruments In Inventory mod and there is a screenshot there of a similar installation. Without the script portion of the mod, visiting sims or sims on community lots can pick up books and steal them!
If you wish, the package file can be placed in a subfolder, but the zip file must go into the main Mods folder.
Compatibility
This mod requires The Sims 4 to be patched to at least version 1.0.732.20 (October 1, 2014).
This mod may conflict with any other mods that modify the strategy for reading or putting down books or other objects. It is compatible with the Keep Instruments In Inventory mod.
As this modifies the generic strategy for putting down any book, it should continue to work for any new books added to the game.
