[GTW] Retail: Paintings go missing from walls

@MrsKHatake Is it just the paintings or is anything else going missing ?

Can you place new ones (aka, do they really disappear or are they just invisible ?)

Current game version is 1.52.100. Here's instructions how to find your game version: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-game-version-number/

They could be stealing the paintings!

I own a retail store that only sells paintings. If paintings are on the walls and for sale people will just walk up to them and take them. This is the same for when the business is closed and they are just visiting. I don’t get the money for it. They just disappear and I dont get interractions that “catch” them or to confront them about it.  It is only these items that go missing. I wouldn’t be that upset if it wasnt for them stealing masterpieces. Im doing a rag to riches challenge so I really need the simoleons.

Could they be stolen? The reason I ask is because I've experienced stolen paintings.

My Sim is a painter. She sells some paintings and keeps some on display in her home.

She has children who have the Kleptomaniac trait.

When the children age up to Young Adult and I move them out of the house, they often come visit.

I only recently noticed (mostly playing with walls down) that some paintings were missing.

So I went through her Young Adult children's inventories and found all of the paintings. They were even labeled as STOLEN from her household.

I had her children give them back to her as gifts, and now I don't let the Kleptomaniac kids come over after they age up and move out.

I have played retail lots before (the patch) and never experienced any issues. With the latest patch I have not been able to play much, due to the many bugs that came with it- however, I did start playing a new (vanilla) game and had my sim make a retail lot (selling paintings), and on both time of opening there was theft of my paintings (including masterpiece paintings that were ten thousand simoleons- and a couple that were a couple hundred simoleons). The theft left behind no way to restock the items, and I watched a sim do it right in front of my sim (with my sim having no way to stop it, or confront the sim).

Many people may want theft in their own game. I do not want it in mine (and really... I do question those who actually want things like that).

And yes, to go through the whole spiel.... My computer meets more than the specs, I do not have mods in, did a repair, always delete localthumbcache, yadda yadda yadda yadda.

I have a painter sims who own a painting retail store every time i open for business painting start disappearing one by one when i finally notice it was customer that are stealing them! it's irritating! not sure if it is a bug cause customer is being stealing from my flower retail store too i did turn off ECO lifestyle gameplay and it;s still happening.
