Another Patch?
Okay, so I was told we already have the pre-EP patch. I checked my game number and this was so. You can imagine my surprise, as I opened the EA App to power up my game today, expecting to be able to ...

There are Simmers stating that it's fixed a known bug with retail, vets, restaurants but it's not listed. So I don't know if that user is a bot or what. It's so disheartening. It's also terrible there's such a big bug in the game related to owned businesses. Panel not showing them as owned, not operable as the active owner household, and they do not spawn employees and or work when you visit them. The exception being the Residential Rentals which work fine as normal apartment buildings, but NOT if you own them. Then it shows as owned, but the owner has no control of them.
Just wild to me that it was dismissed and then right before this release last weeks patch amplified the problem. They changed some code somewhere for For Rent that broke retail lots and then it spreads like a "virus" to active households. I believe it's related to how the UI calls in data for each household save, hence why the Panel doesn't register them. What ever causes it, I think it's related to how the UI calls in data for each household.
So to see the patch notes don't address this but simmers are saying everything's working again is highly unusual. Unless they are a bot. I guess I will test it out? I haven't played in over a week because between the actual weather inside lots glitch and the Severe OFB 2 PEPS I can't be bothered. And I should be downloading new pack in a few minutes like everyone else! I can't stand it! LOL (OFB was one of my favorites so in 4 I spent years building shoppable retail lots that don't work now)
