Hello everyone, I’d like to report an issue I encountered while running a small business tattoo shop.
- I opened a tattoo shop on the first floor, with residential spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors. All members of the household work at the shop.
- After about 4 in-game hours of being open, a Sim from a played household visited the shop. I selected the “Custom Tattoo” interaction.
- In CAS, I designed a rose and pattern on the back of the customer’s hand and exited.
- After loading, the game unexpectedly switched to the customer’s household, not my tattoo shop household.
- When I returned to the tattoo shop household, the business was marked as closed, but the customer was still present.
- I reopened the shop immediately and ran it for another 4 in-game hours before closing again.
- The end-of-day summary appeared, but the stats were inconsistent:
- Customer count: Only included the 5 Sims who visited after the forced household switch
- Revenue & Tips: Counted from both sessions, before and after the switch
Because the customer count was reset, I could not complete my aspiration goal that requires attracting 20 customers in one day. Only 5 were counted.
Also, during the forced switch to the other household, 2 Sims in that household were marked as having skipped work without permission, which caused additional issues.
As it currently stands, it seems impossible to apply custom tattoos to Sims from non-household families without triggering this bug.
I would appreciate any fix or improvement to allow smoother gameplay with the tattoo shop system.
Thank you!
