HI gertie47
Bit unclear on the issue.
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.
I ended up continuing with the save and different Sims purchasing and running that lot so that it won't mirror my problem anymore. (It is a save where I explored as much as possible in B&Hs and didn't want to get stalled on that problem.)
I began to wonder if it was by design?
But I can try to recreate it in a new save.
