Re: [ARCHIVED] [GTW] Can't buy retail lot

Are you using mods in your game ? Did you try with one of the lots that came with the game too ?

    Personally I'm having this problem with all of the pre made lots, even the one that's empty, in Magnolia Springs.  The option doesn't even show up, I can either change the lot type or build, but there is nothing else available.  I checked to be certain that they were set as retail, there is no indication that they are already owned, but I get the same error on all of them when I go to purchase them

    Same question do you. Are you using mods in your game ?

    I am getting the same issue, it's the second day of having my store and my store money/points reset to 0. Can't open the store or transfer funds. I am not running any mods or CC. The reward I purchased yesterday did show up in the "family inventory" section of the store, though, so that was not reset. I also no longer have the option to set items as "for sale."

    Yes, I can.

    For troubleshooting, I have tried saving/reloading my game, computer restart, repairing game in Origin, having my Sim leave the lot and come back to it, and restoring the game to factory defaults. 

    Update: I tried a clean reinstall of the game and it did not fix.

    It's a bit like you don't own the store anymore. The transfer money under the Sims portrait is gone.

    I sold the lot and re-bought and it worked again afterwards but I didn't really play for long to see if it breaks again. You can sell the store through manage world.

    Did you never have mods in or did you remove them ?

    Someone wrote me about the same issue as JakeDavid, with the same message. The problem was solved removing CC and mods.

    I'm having the same problem. I was able to fix the issue with not being able to travel to or but lots in MP, by uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Now lots I download from the exchange don't work as retail lots, even though they are labeled as retail.

    It worked, I played for about 15 minutes, and then it stopped working. Except for the lots that came in MP, all retail lots are empty and useless.

    Without putting anything back or did you already start putting stuff back ?

    I just tried again. I have one lot working and none of the rest. I'm starting to regret buying this pack.
