I'd really like to make non-default readable Religion books (The Bible, The Torah, The Qua ran) that require Free time, I cloned from "book" in SimPE but no matter what I do the thing won't show up in game. I really need some help trying to understand this. I have a good knowledge of simPE, but if you could please explain it to me in layman's terms that I can understand, I would very much appreciate that. I'd like it to say in the read a book... area before you get to the book choices a new pie menu for Read a Religious book. If this doesn't work for me, I might also try to do this for the sims 3, so if you can help with that too, I'd appreciate that also.

Actually I think it would be best to do something along the lines of This the creator of those books said it would be fine to open their books in SimPE and then replace the textures (and in my case mesh too) with your own and change the catalog description, but I ran into a problem. When I direct a sim to read the book, he will just begin to read, then he will snap back into standing and the book will disappear. I'm so confused at what exactly I need to do! Please help me out.

The "snap back into standing" is a jump bug, and is caused by an error in a BHAV. If you run the game in debug mode, then you'll actually get a pop-up window when the error happens, pointing you to a text file on your disk. That file is an error log - find it and attach it here, and hopefully we'll be able to tell you what's gone wrong.

I'm fairly sure that it's a problem with the self-referencing GUIDs in the BHAVs since, I know about those now. I'll try again.
