Write Books Overhaul

29th July 2025: Added Guidebook to Natural Living & Guidebook to Apothecary from Enchanted by Nature (the mod itself is still BGC)

25th April 2025: Added clearer publishing options (so as not to conflict with other writing mods), added new tooltips for the custom writing interactions, fixed lost book progress (EA issue), and did some minor tuning tidying up!

10th March 2025: Added the two new books from Business & Hobbies (not required), plus tweaked the publishing options. Now, if you have my Sequential Art or Holistic Health Consultant careers, you can now earn royalties from writing a Graphic Novel, Comic Book or Wellness Book through Self-Publishing with Simazon. Also removed autonomy for the Writing Retreat, and cleaned up a few tuning and string files.

25th February 2025: Updated tuning for new patch.

7th February 2025: Replaced script file with 📁midnitetech_modlibrary. Delete all my script files except midnitetech_RenameWorlds.ts4script (if you have it).

10th November 2024: Removed an override to protect future patch compatibility (if you have Life & Death this fixes any issues with the Reaper career- a big, big thank you to Gina for your incredibly helpful reports!

7th August 2024: Updated to require Lot51's Core Library, also added 2 new book genres with custom Simlish covers; Horror & Thriller. New script file to add the correct tags for the new genres.

Hey Simmers! 🎉 I’m thrilled to unveil my latest creation—an epic overhaul of the writing experience in The Sims 4! 📚✍️

Ever feel like writing a Children’s book shouldn’t be so basic? Or that your creative Sims are stuck skilling up before they can explore other genres? Not anymore! Now, every genre is open to your Sims, no matter their Writing Skill level. That’s right—from romance to sci-fi, they’re free to let their imagination run wild from the start!

And it gets better! At Writing Skill Level 2, Sims can Self-Publish on Simazon, while at Level 5, they can score deals by selling their work to a Publisher. If they hit Level 9, they can even Submit to the Literary Digest—the ultimate recognition!

Plus, uninspired Sims can break through Writer’s Block by heading to a relaxing Writing Retreat. Can’t afford it? No worries! There are fresh online tools to help boost creativity right from home! 🖥️✨

I’ve poured a ton of heart into this, and I can’t wait for you all to dive in.

ℹ️ Note: This mod is now fully compatible with adeepindigo's Writing Overhaul!
