More Awesome Than You!

If this is in the wrong section, so sorry.

Is there a possible way to make all bookcases in game so that no Sim uses any of them without us selecting it for them please?

Like for example, there are wonderful bathroom shelves created with bookcase interactions. So you put them in the bathroom by the toilet and tub and even though the living room is full of bookcases the sims walk to the bathroom and complain because they cannot get a book from the towel shelf. They read papers on the potty anyways, they don't need books too lol.

Have asked at Insimentor how to make individual bookcases nonautonomous but an after thought was to maybe have a global hack for all bookcases and objects that have those interactions. It is sometimes annoying to find all Sims either reading or diary when other things need to be done. Just because they have a bookcase, do they need to constantly read? lol

Thank You for any replies.

Maybe you just need nonfunctional decorative bookcases, then.

Jase gave instructrions on changing the bookcases for no interactions, will try those.
Thank You JM.

I've got a feeling I already made one of these someone requested but TTYTT I can't actually remember now.

Have I told you lately, that I love you?

In your situation, I'd follow the rule of bathroom design that says "don't put objects in the bathroom unless they have interactions that increase Bladder or Hygiene". Works a treat.

Not sure if he included the categorization of the bookshelves in that. If you're going to remove all bookshelf functionality and render them decorative, you also want to de-categorize them as real bookshelves, or things may get confused when they want to find a bookshelf and find that one, thinking it's real.
