This is brilliant! I bought the University Life Collection just a couple of weeks ago, and used the Billy bookcases (my real life choice, as well) for the first time this past week.

The identical shelves just look so freakish! Thanks for the mod.

I have a problem with using this.
I want (for example) to put something on the very top shelf only not on any other shelf. How do I have to do that? The bookcase wants me to fill up slot per slot.
Please help!

Oh dear. This is what you get when you try to download too much stuff at once. See the link below

The files are there, you just have to wait for the server to reset.

OH WOW this is the best thing ever!! Is there ANY way you could convert these to sims3?? I actually don't even care if they work like bookcases...

I haven`t tried selling the emptied IKEA book-cases in my OfB business, but when I tried to sell the other emptied book-cases, the purchasers left with books instead of book-cases, so I thought I`d give you a heads-up in case these share the problem and there happens to be anything you can do about it. Other than that, I love `em!

Hi GenOps - that may well be the case - but for a bookshop, that is what you need no? When I pop into Waterstones to buy the latest bodice ripper I leave with a book, not the book case. I can see it may well be a drag for a furniture shop though. Its the way bookcases are made for OFB. Im sorry.

Well, that`s weird, too, because when it is out of stock, the whole book-case is gone! It looks like it is trying to go both ways at once. I never noticed that the customers were leaving with *books* instead of book-*cases* because I was trying to sell the book-*case* itself, and the book-case *itself* seemed to be out-of-stock, as expected at the time. Never noticed, that is, until I started playing the customers and finding unexpected *books* in their inventories. At least this explains why the sale-price was so way out-of-line with the Buy Mode price.

Any idea how I can sell book-cases in my stores?

Ulp. Indeed, like I said, I never really looked at OFB, and I micro manage my poor sims so much they are not allowed to let things be out of stock (Lee frowns).

Yes - you could CHANGE the BHAV functions from a bookcase to an endtable and use books with bookcase options.

That would work.

Just a reminder: The only empty book-case I`ve TRIED to sell is, if I remember correctly, the tall one from the base-game [I`m not entirely certain *which* tall one it was, but I *know* it was a tall one; I wanted to sell empty display-space for my other Sims to clutter up]; I only mentioned it here first because I found this thread again first, and wanted to give you a heads-up in case this had similar issues.

Anyway, what happens is that I sell the object one time, the whole case gets replaced with an out-of-stock sign, and the customer leaves with a book. I **HOPE** that this one is better-behaved than that, but you might want to test it, just in case.

My chosen initials notwithstanding, I am *not* a Modding God, and I`m not sure how to go about making such a drastic change to an object. Besides, SimPE takes forever to load, and I`m about out of time for today.

Where'd that come from?
Anyway, this is GREAT! Finally, somewhere to put all those pretty buymode flowers, goofy photo booth pics, dream-date flowers, mini-stereos, and slacker career flowers! Funny, I'm allergic to flowers...

They are linked to the IKEA Billy bookcases - any recolours of that bookcase will also apply to these (assuming you have them in your downloads folder)

I'm having trouble with these. I've got the short Base version and I'm using it on a residential lot in Uni, and when I try to click on it, it says there are no interactions available. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The tall empty one works fine, but not the short one. Weird.

I may sound dumb but i'm a bit confused.. so does it require Ikea or freetime or is there a base compatible file? You can tell me through inbox if you want or here if I look around here again.

It requires IKEA and base at minimum.

The file you want is BookcasesBG.rar | Description: Bookcases with base menu

You would need to have some deco books as well, those are also downloadable.

Oh okay, thanks! I'll try and download them later if I still desire them. Nice items by the way ^^
