Auriël's No Autonomous Rereading
Stop Sims from repeatedly reading books they've already finished while keeping normal reading autonomy!
I created this mod because I find it unnecessary for Sims to autonomously reread books they've already completed.
I want my Sims to discover new books, continue unfinished ones, and enjoy reading naturally without repeatedly returning to the same completed books.
Features
No Autonomous Rereading: Prevents Sims from autonomously selecting the normal Read interaction for books they've already completed.
New Books Allowed: Sims can still autonomously choose books they haven't read before.
Unfinished Books Allowed: Sims can continue reading books they haven't finished.
Manual Rereading Preserved: You can still manually tell your Sims to reread any book.
Normal Reading Preserved: Reading remains an available autonomous activity.
No Additional Dependencies: Works as a standalone package without additional scripts.
How It Works
The mod uses the game's existing reading-progress system to distinguish completed books from unfinished ones.
When a Sim has finished 100% of a book, the mod prevents that book from being selected through the affected autonomous reading interaction.
Books that haven't been completed remain available for autonomous reading.
