This mod fixes the Book Club sending books with empty/missing titles, if you are patched to 1.63-1.67, and did not install Ep11-Into The Future expansion pack.
Untested on 1.69 Origin version.
This mod is NOT required if you have Ep11-Into the Future expansion pack installed.
Compatibility
Works on all expansion packs. Even with Ep11 installed.
Will conflict with other mods changing Books.Xml.
Warning
All books with blank titles in your current save game will be removed automatically by the game, from all Inventories in all Sims/Bookshelves across town.
Files Changes
GameplayData.package > Books.Xml.
Details
Fix the Books.Xml entries for new books in Ep11.
These Ep11 books were added in the game patch 1.63 for Into The Future expansion.
Even without installing this expansion pack, the Book Club still use these General Books as weekly gifts when your Sim joins them, causing the game localization logic to return an empty book title (because the titles comes with Ep11 game files), after attempting to translate the title to your language (including English).
Ths main problem is these Ep11 books were created without the "CodeVersion" Xml parameter. See below.
To apply the fix yourself :
1. Extract Books.Xml.
2. Edit the text file with your favourite text editor.
3. Find book titles "EP11FlavorBookXX", where "XX" is a number from "1" to "20".
4. Add the parameter "<CodeVersion>EP11</CodeVersion>" to all these books. See sample BookGeneral entry below.
5. Save the change, rebuild, and deploy your package.
