Big problems with Grandma's Canning Station. Please help!
Some users on the official forums have noticed a problem with the jams, preserves, and condiments that can be made using Grandma's Canning Station from the store.
- The jams (etc.) lose their description when stored on a lot that is placed from the library. The same thing happens if they are in the inventory of a sim that is placed from the library or from the temporary sidebar used to relocate families via edit town, or when they are taken on vacation using the WA travel system. This seems to happen every time without exception, and with no obvious possible workaround.
- The broken jams (etc.) appear correctly when placed in the world, except that no name, description, or price can be viewed for them. In inventories, they appear as totally empty inventory slots, and they cannot be stacked.
- The issue occurs in both modded and unmodded games.
- The jam has no price displayed, but when I sell it my household is credited 70 simoleons. However, another user reported that he couldn't sell his jam.
- One user reported that while the bugged jam was in her sims' inventories, they could not interact with one another socially. The social menus started working normally again once she deleted the jams. I have not been able to replicate this in my own game, but surely this alone is a sign that something bad is going on.
We would like to know what causes these problems, and whether they might lead to or be a sign of something even more serious, such as save file corruption. Many thanks!
