Product: The Sims 4
Platform: EA Launcher PC Windows 10
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100%
What is your current game version number? 1.84
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, except Journey to Batuu, and some of the stuff packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Purchase a rental property, load in and click on owned rentals tab.
What happens when the bug occurs? I'm not a property owner even though I own the lot.
What do you expect to see? Owned rental tab.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, just CC, but playtested with them removed and still happens.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? After installing For Rent.
I am also running into these same issues. My Sim cannot be a landlord. After buying a four unit rental property, (that I built in Windenburg) It works on the first unit, as long as I don't fill the vacancy. Once I fill the remaining vacancies I still show the lot as owned in my panel.
ANY LOADING SCREEN changes this. Whether I travel to another unit, another world, or switch control of families, my Sim (and family) always loses his Rental Property Owenership panel. It's as if I never bought the property.
If I hover over the Property while in the Manage Worlds section, then I can see the name of my sim as owning it, but they still can't interact with it, other than to sell it.
EDIT: Having tried the workaround mentioned above, I can confirm that going into Build/Buy mode does work... only if I'm not on the Rental Property Lot. If I trvel there, it breaks again, because, Loadscreen.
This makes traveling to the different units to fix various events impoosible, because once I go from one unit to the next, the load screen occurs, so effectively, according to the game, I no longer own the lot. And because I don't own the lot, I can't use the workaround.
Also, only one of the 4 tenents are paying rent, without an option to do anything about it.
