[BH] Non-household group members are not able to enter small businesses

Honestly at my absolutely wit ends with this game--especially businesses and hobbies.

When traveling to a small business, my non-household group members are unable to enter the small business.

They walk up to the door and the thought bubble comes up over their head like they can't enter.

But my Sim and another household member were able to enter fine.

I selected Travel… from my Sims phone, picked who I wanted to come with, then selected the small business residential lot.

Will be trying on another small business in a minute but just wanted to get this reported so it can get fixed in a year maybe.

I play on PC and have removed my mods to see if it was a mod issue but these screenshots were taken with mods removed.

    Can confirm it is also happening at other business as well.  Will test another save file shortly.

    This is a different save file, different household.  The non-household member I traveled with cannot enter the small business.  Between the bug where employees would leave if you had a 5 star business and supervised customer on and now this bug, this expansion pack is pretty much unplayable and it has been since day 1.  It is insane that I spent $40 on this and that two EPs have come out since then with a third out in just over two weeks.

    Switched the premade pottery studio in Nordhaven to a Small Business Venue lot type and had another household purchase it.  My non-household guest was able to enter the business without a problem.  It seems when it is a Small Business Residential lot type, non-household party member are not able to tell the different between the business and the residential parts of the lot.

    If I send my Sim to the business, load in, then use the phone and invite non household members to the lot, they can enter just fine.

  • Hi DespairxFactor​ 

    to be sure, you have this issue only with Sims that travel with you as a group. If others arrive, they can get in fine ? Also in your own business they go in fine too ?

    crinrict​ Good morning, correct the only issue is Sims I travel with who are not in my household.  When we are at the Small Business Residential lot, the game will auto fill the small business with other customers and they have no trouble getting into the business.  I haven't tried it yet with a business I own, only businesses owned by other Sims.

    It seems to only effect lots that are Small Business Residential.  When I changed the lot type to Small Business Venue, there were no issues with Sims I traveled with getting into the business.

    But when I traveled to the Small Business Residential with just my household Sim and then used their phone to invite a non-household Sim to the Small Business Residential, the non-household Sim I invited was able to the enter the business.
