Selling Flower Arrangements Retail (Doesn't Work?)

Bump just to find out if I’m the only one with this issue or if it’s a known problem :)

I'm not sure what your mean with " not-really-there version". If you mean the vase, you can change the color by clicking on it. Are you making sure to set them for sale? By the way I found out you can make more money if you have a "yard sale table". You can sell with 300% markup instead of just 100% in retail stores. I make about 20k form a single flower arrangement! :D

See in the picture how the flowers are just long stick looking things? All of the arrangements look that way (in various colors) but the actual flowers aren’t showing. I appreciate the yard sale tip! I was actually hoping to set the flowers so that my non-flower arranging sims could buy them as gifts, though.

Yes I do indeed see that. That isn't normal. Are you using mods in your game? If not this looks like a bug. Maybe send this picture to SimGuruNick or Arvin on Twitter.

Nope, no mods. Perhaps I will try to get ahold of them on Twitter. Thanks!

ETA: @SimGuruNick because I’m shy on Twitter :# :D is this something im doing wrong? Or a possible bug?

That's weird. I have flowers for sale and they don't look like that; they look normal. So it happens immediately after you set them for sale?

Well, I built my own florist shop in one save, I had my sim create all the arrangements and set them for sale. I then sold the business so that it would be ran by NPCs (the florist is attached to a bakery with the same set up that works fine). The flowers are correct in that save.

I saved the lot to my library and added it to a different save. Flowers no longer look right. I thought maybe I set something up wrong, so I replaced it with a lot from the gallery which is where I got the screenshot. Obviously, it doesn’t work either.

So either something about saving the arrangements to your library/gallery doesn’t work or my save file is broken (somehow)...

Hope this makes sense :)

So, like how artifacts reverted to their unrevealed state after being saved to the library? Sounds like a similar issue.

I made my own florist shop and added it to my library so I could put it in all my game saves. Downloaded it into one of my other saves and it is fine, all the flowers look normal...

Edit: Actually, now I look closer, no they don't look normal! I guess I never looked that closely before. Here's a screenie:

I wasn’t aware of that problem, but yes it definitely sounds the same! Do you know if there was any solution?
