My Sims have developed an annoying glitch. They can't finish writing novels. As soon as the novel is completed, the usual message is displayed. I send them to start a new one, but the old one isn't finished yet. I set them to continue, they start writing, it looks like they restarted (by the completion bar), but suddenly finish, pop off to the side (sometimes there is another Sim working at the same table and they pop off to the side as well). I've tried many things to fix this glitch. This seemed to coincide with the addition of "Bluefunk_PicnicBlanket_Public.package".
- reset Sim
- reset Lot
- reset everything (with Master Controller)
- scrap the book and start over
- removed "Bluefunk_PicnicBlanket_Public.package"
- scraped the game and started new game
- scraped the world and reinstalled world (my own custom world)
- cleared caches
- scraped all worlds and manually removed all remaining traces
- opened in Create A World, added some generic house lots that came from EA (because I had to add them to my very empty world each time I play as well as fix the staircases [delete them then undo to remove the block at the bottom that was visible with buyDebug active and causing Sims in those houses to constantly become unroutable]) and re-exported world and re-installed world
- removed all expansion packs, "The Sims", and Origin from my computer
- edited all traces from the registry
- restarted the computer
- reinstalled Origin and "The Sims" and expansions and other stuff (but not "Bluefunk_PicnicBlanket_Public.package")
- TSR RifFix
It's still happening. I don't know why. It was fine before adding the picnic blanket mod.

But that will be tomorrow. It's getting too late to restart the game, redo the library and test it out. I don't have the energy for that.
- didn't work
- Reset Everything
- didn't work
- I deleted the game, and started anew, replacing the library, and deleting the shelves at the school
- didn't work
- I deleted the game, deleted the world, reinstalled the world, replaced the library, deleted the school's shelves and started new game
- didn't work
- I deleted the game, deleted the world, cleared caches etc, manually removed leftover traces, used CAW to replace library, again removing the shelves at the library and school, deleting the bookstore shell, checked for bookcases in any houses, saving, exiting, restarting CAW, then replacing the shelves at the library, exported the world (it is the correct world because there are no bookcases in the school library), installed the world, sent my whole writer's collective to writer's class then to the computer lab at the custom school and got them writing. I did forget to replace the bookstore shell.
- didn't work (There goes Sunday)

Also, does this only happen in your custom world? If you start a fresh game in, say, Sunset Valley, does the glitch still happen? This might help narrow down where the glitch is occurring.
Good luck! I hope you are able to get it working.
