I bought a retail store in the Sims 4 and the game isn’t transferring money from my household fund to business fund. I type in 1000 in box, make sure it’s from household to business, push confirm transfer but then nothing happens. It’s going through but then no money is added. I’ve tried different money amounts, disabling mods, selling + rebuying the business and nothing is working. I can’t open the store with 0 business funds. Help!

@KaylaDM18 Having the exact problem out of no where. I’m absolutely frustrated and fed up with these bugs.

Having the same problem, but do not have For Rent. Playing on PS4 and have tried a new game and a previous save and cannot transfer funds from the household to the business which means I can't open the business

Im having the same issues, I just purchased a vet clinic and can’t transfer any money to it so I can open it… has anyone figured out a way to get money to transfer? It used to work all the time but I downloaded a few new packs and it stopped working!

I am having this same problem. I have for rent. I don't own any rental lots. I have script mods turned off. I've cleared my thumbcache. When I go to my retail lot, I am unable to transfer funds from my household to my retail lot. When I click to transfer funds, the box closes but nothing happens.

Hi @KaylaDM18. You mentioned that you disabled mods, but sometimes that won't get rid of a mod-related problem. Instead, try dragging your Mods folder to your desktop. Then delete the file called localthumbcache from Document > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. If you think you might accidentally forget to exit without saving after testing, copy your Saves folder to your desktop too, to back it up. Now open Sims 4 and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, you can start the process of figuring out what from your Mods folder was causing it. If you do, we can look at other issues.

@bc0414sc Does it look the same pattern as this bug report? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-FR-CD-DO-GTW-Households-funds-stay-same-when-transferring/m-p/13292021/highlight/true#M263605

@bc0414sc I feel the OPs issue sounds different than what's in the bug report.

There's currently a known issue when you own a rental property that you can transfer business funds but the household ones stay the same. This is mostly for the vet clinic. Do you have Cats & Dogs and have similar issues with the vet clinic ?

Retail may be different.

@moniiverse Do you also have issues with retail ? Do you have FR ? What platform are you on ?

FR is an abbreviation of For Rent, the latest expansion pack.

@moniiverse Ah sorry, so used to use abbreviations these days. As Sketch said, I mean for rent.

I've tested this on my saved and have no issues with retail so not sure what's going on.

Do you have the same symptoms as OP ?
