[BH] Business open when visiting as guest after visiting as customer

in my legacy save i wanted my sim to visit her dad who owns a small buisness
i go to the map click on the household and click on the option to visit the household and not the buisness
when i load in game i arrive only at the buisness lot and cant visit the homelot of the household even when i reload.

Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.

Could you please provide the following information

• Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
• To be sure, you have no option to knock on the door of the residential part ?
• Have you tested this with multiple businesses ?

extra information for the report (cant edit the main report sadly)

other buisnesses do work with knocking on the door even with self made ones
that one specific household/small buisness i made doesnt give me to option to knock on the residential  area see image

even when mods/cc are disabled 

I'm having this problem too, is there a solution?

*editing in reproduction steps here since i can't edit the main post anymore:

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often
What is your current game version number? 1.116.240.1020
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Visit a small business lot as a customer, then come back later to visit the household as a guest
What happens when the bug occurs? After visiting a small business lot as a customer, from that point forward that business, regardless of whether it is moved to a different lot, or disabled for that location, will always be open, it is impossible to visit the business owner as a guest unless they sell or transfer their business.  
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the option to knock on the door to visit that sim's household when i select 'visit household' from the map, and to not have the business open, nor have any customers or employees spawning.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but tried this without mods installed, and the same thing happened
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Either on or after the July 1st patch. My last good save was on August 1st, but had not visited a small business between July and then as a customer, and had visited businesses before July with no issue. 

I tried selling the business, and while he had no business, i could visit the lot as normal

But as soon as i registered a new business, the problem was back

Moved the business owner to a new lot, and the problem came with him. so it's somehow a problem with the sim this time, not the lot (Layne is an employee, and i put him back in with Olive for this, he would not be there if it wasn't open, nor would the walls be in cutaway)

reloaded, so Layne was a member of the household again (trying to get his ghost powers leveled up before i put him back in the Specter house so roomies for the time being) and transferred the business to him

and when i visited the lot, it worked fine, just took me to the household without opening the business. 

Then I transferred the business back to Johnny, and the problem came back. So something got stuck on Johnny, but I dunno how to fix it. I searched their hidden traits, and Johnny still has some traits 'trait_smallbusiness_reputation_hasbeenrank_(numbers through 7)' but Layne has all those too now, plus new ones related to the business. Didn't  see any others related to business, while it was in Layne's possession, but there may be something else lurking  in there i just don't know what to search for.  Transferring the business before i play other households is a bandaid solution, but the underlying problem is still there. And since he is a ghost, I can't even invite him places without cheats, I HAVE to go to his place to see him

I found a save from before it broke, but it is 2 and a half seasons (i have 2 week seasons) back. So I will let it sit for now, and if someone can tell he how to fix Johnny, i can do that, if not, i will... I dunno, cheat up skills and whatnot and advance the seasons of this old save and plop in the new versions of some lots, try and somewhat fix things.

Hi o-RayeGunn-o​ 

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

yeah, i can do that, maybe not the whole folder (I have other saves in there too, and make a fresh save every game-week or so for precisely a situation like this, so there's a lot) but at least the ones in between the good save and the most recent one. When looking at when the good save was in the year, it occurred to me after i left last night that i may have visited the lot as a customer shortly after the good save, which may be when it got stuck. So i am just going to pop in quick and try to visit as a customer again in hopes it resets things. If not i will send the saves. I also hosted a party on the lot about a game week after the good save, with Johnny as the host. Other than that, nothing unusual happened with the lot or Johnny that I recall around that time.

Just the broken save will do for now :D

okay. I just tested going as a customer then going to visit the household afterward and it did not fix things. so i will send that save, and one from before it broke, I'll just like make some fresh copies with distinct names to indicate which is which. I will switch to a single sim in the same neigborhood so it's nice and easy
