[DO] Restaurant 'losing money' notification when it's not losing money

Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PlayStation 5Which language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 2.04What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? EverythingSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim purchase a restaurant (Chez Llama), set it up properly and give it generous funds (250K), wait a day or two.What happens when the bug occurs? Every sim day I get a notification that the restaurant is losing money, when it is actually bringing in profit every day. Not much, but profit, not negative earnings.What do you expect to see? Not getting a false message about losing money, but instead getting a profit message.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure&nbsp;

I've rarely bothered with buying a business before, but my sim family had an absurd amount of money so I tried it... and then this happened. It's annoying.

@Uigenna  Is this when you actively play the lot or when you play something else and let it run in the back ?

@crinrict I don't have my sims visit the restaurant since setting it up, so it's in the background.

@Uigenna It's interesting that you are in fact making money cause that never really worked.

There's an open thread for not in-person managed restaurants: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-DO-Restaurants-make-no-money-unless-managed-in-person/m-p/9854286

@crinrictYeah, I saw that thread and it's not quite my issue. When I open the restaurant panel while my owner sim is home, it shows a (small) daily profit, cumulative. Like right now it's saying meal profits are a total of 928 simoleons after being open for 158 hours. The restaurant rating is at 1 star, however, which might be relevant to the losing money notification.
