You're certain? It just dumps it in your queue? That is mighty peculiar and unusual. Make sure you're using the latest version.
OK, I figured it out. Apparently after selecting the Fish For... task, you have to CTRL + Click the sim again. At that point, another menu option is available, allowing you to select the fish type. The menu option is only there when the Fish for.. command is sitting in the sims queue (which makes sense). I can't believe I didn't notice this before!
The odds of a given recipe book appearing on a skilling bookshelf is dependent on what percentage of your neighborhood knows it. The more common the recipe is, the more likely it appears. Books don't appear to retroactively pop, either, so if you enabled this in an established hood, you need to restock your libraries by typing "regeneratebooks".
Excellent, it appears that my 'hoods are not established enough due to my play style. That is fine, I will just manually stock the library with the recipes that I want. Thanks for letting me know!
Now I have a second issue. Supreme Commander with occasionally take a lunch break. As you can see by the attached pic, I have told my sim to Task: Garden on his home lot but it appears he would rather stare at the neighbors (and no, unpausing it doesn't wake him up):
http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5720/92990784.pngI re-downloaded the most recent Awesomemod, removed the Supercomputer and the awesomeconfig, and still no change to the occasionally lazy commander. I would also like to note that other tasks DO work. For example, he could rummage through garbage just fine.
I have had this problem with the commander with several of the tasks. Sometimes, he won't collect seeds. Sometimes, he won't garden. Very strange.
I recall reading that Imageshack was frowned upon but I am sorry, it is all that I have.
