Sims won't come onto retail lot

Every time I open my store for business, the customers that appear show up at the empty lot next door. They mill around on their phones on the sidewalk, they never enter the store. I can not approach them or interact with them because they are off lot. My soft opening of the store was successful, I was open for 5 hours and made $900 Simoleons. Does anyone have a fix for this?

  • No ice freezer, mannequins, or anything like that. Just shelves and plants and a bookcase. By soft opening I just meant not open for very long lol, it was a five hour thing just to make sure it worked. I actually figured it out and am embarrassed to admit I had the door locked 😭😭🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm removing this post or turning off comments if I can, thanks for the help though!

  • No ccs or kids, playing on Xbox one console. I did use bb.moveobjects, but there were no issues the first time around which is what I don't get ☹️

    @VivisulsulIf possible try the fame glitch workaround.
    Otherwise, you may want to put this in BUG REPORTS in the report format so it's better available to EA STAFF and higher ranks ( plus any me too's ) to see the issue.

    I fail to see how use of bb.moveobjects could affect it, but since your on console I cannot even try to recreate it. ☹️

    Hope it gets sorted!

  • @Vivisulsul Could you test if another store has the same issue ? You said you were able to make money doing a soft opening, could you explain what you mean by that ?

    Do you have a lice cold freezer on your lot ?

    @xaavocado Do you have mods or CC in your Mods folder? If so, do a "vanilla" test to see if a mod/CC is your problem: Move (not copy) the Mods folder to the desktop (or rename it), delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.
