Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Own a rental unit that is not on the same lot as the sim that you're playing. Mine is in the same world 2. My rental units are all occupied; have your sim travel to the rental lot (any unit). 3. This rental lot will disappear from the owned business tab.
What happens when the bug occurs? The rental lot disappears from my 'Owned Business' tab, and I have to repurchase the rental unit. I do not get the funds back when the rental lot disappears.
What do you expect to see? The rental lot should remain as an owned business.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. It seemed to have appeared around the new years. I've been playing the new For Rent expansion pack since it was released and the bug was not there when it was first released.
I have tried these things to figure out what is going on with the bug but none have resolved the issue:
1. Demolishing the lot and then building a saved copy of the original lot on it.
2. Selling the lot and repurchasing it; interestingly this worked only on the first visit, but any other visits resulted in the lot disappearing from my owned business tab.
3. At this point it feels silly but I should mention that repurchasing the rental lot does not solve the problem long term. If I do not repurchase the rental lot, it never comes back to my 'Owned Business' tab.
