If i make custom bookstore and place it in community lot (retail) an add bookshelves - can the sims still buy the books individiually? cause in sims 3 it was easier they go to the bookstore (rabbit hole) and click on what they want

Have you tried ordering books from the computer?
I thought that also if place shelves they would buy that not like an actual book? so maybe order books from online and sell them that way eh? as i wanted to add the Classic bookstore from Sunset valley so was thinking best option to have running book store? unless as you mentioned order books online?
i will try that - thanks
What I can't remember is whether I had to buy a big heap of books in BB and set them out on the display cases one by one, or whether I was able to click on the display shelves to choose books to put on them. At this point, Mortimer's employees have just been restocking the original books for ages.
My problem was that when my author sim tried selling her written books in retail, those would not stay on the shelf when she left the lot, but were returned to her inventory. A different kind of problem, but wondering if anyone had tips on this one?

oh really? i wanted to sell like cook books or skills books
I'm pretty sure you can find them in the debug menu. You just have to make sure you're getting the ones with actual titles.
I have a thought. It may work...
If you have bb.moveobjects on, you can have a few tables or shelves where you want the books displayed ready. (I'll go with table for my description, should work identical with shelves.)
Have a table, put as many books on it as you can. The books will 'lock' to the table. Remember where the table is. Then move the books off the table to where there is nothing to lock to. The books will be in mid-air. Move the table away, then using Alt, position the books where the table was, nicely laid out like you want. Then move the table back.
so i order regular books via the phone? and place those or duplicate them? as rabbit holes bookstores were easierto do lol
I'm assuming if it's a 'retail' venue, then your Sims can 'restock' the books after being bought like anything else.
Just be careful when clicking on a book not to move your mouse or it will 'snap' to the table or shelf. An alternative to using an actual table or shelf could be a 'sculpture' or a "clutter" or even a debug item like was mentioned before that looks like a table and is the same height. But always have a table and/or shelf nearby to place the books, then move to where you actually want them.
