I'd love to be able to buy books in different households, so for example I made a famous author named Tolkien who writes a series of books. Then if I switch households when I go to buy new books his books are also shown and buyable/readable too now.
As it was in the Sims 3.
I mean whats the point/how do you become a famous author if nobody but you can read your books?

Strange that you named him Tolkien. Didn't realize you were a fan. (Teeheehee).
But I have wanted this feature for ages. If anyone knows of a mod.... lemme know!
But in the meantime maybe you can create a bookstore that sells all of the books your Sims have written?
They could add a tab for "written" or something like that. They have tabs/drop down menus to sort skill, toddlers etc. so it should be easy enough to add.
That's right, but when I open purchase dialogs it lists all books at once and I have to sort it manually. I mean it doesn't load any random single category, but all categories at once. And I don't think they will change it.
Oh there's no doubt in my mind that they won't change it, even to just add another category (if people want it or not seems to little difference to EA these days). I misread your post a bit too I think. I thought the lag was limited to TS3. I didn't realize you had some with TS4. In my personal experience TS3 is a laggy mess (with a game load time of 15-20 minutes) yet I've had zero issues on the same PC with TS4 (no lag and load times are literally 10 seconds or less). However, that's not the same for everyone I realize. I immediately assumed the issues were all with TS3 because that's my experience and I'm sorry for that.
I'd still like this back in the game though, but your right, there's also no reason this just couldn't be an option.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Um WHAT?!
The very mechanic of one sim writing a book and another sim READING that finished book - is game play in itself. Creating something, then sharing it with other sims. This game at its core is a life simulator and the point here is the simulation of writing a book, becoming famous and having other sims buy and read that book.
This game is a life simulator after all.
However your comment about achievements is pretty telling that you play The Sims more as a game then a life simulator, so I can understand why you dont care about this and thats fine. There is no reason then for you to care since you'll never use this function but clearly a lot of us would.
I DO agree they could add a search bar for book titles and maybe a tab for sim written books.
