[BH] Visiting small business - empty display cases

In businesses and hobbies, I created and ran a small business with one sim and stocked a display case with items the sim cooked. When a sim from another household visited the small business, the display case was empty, even if visiting right after stocking the case. Also, when visiting, employees were making items that could go in the case but putting them in the fridge instead of stocking the case. 

I believe in Get to Work you can stock a case at a retail business and then if another sim visits, those items are perpetually available to purchase until the business owner goes back to change them. Is this possible for Businesses and Hobbies? Or maybe instead allow cases to be autonomously stocked by employees using items they just created while your visiting sim is there?

Edit By Crinrict: Added pack tag to title.

    I updated the tags. Mods are UI Cheats Extension and MCCC.

    I don't think this is mod related but it's possibly by design.

    Community managers will set status for this but going forward, please always test bugs on a vanilla save game before reporting.

    Thanks.

    Will do, thanks. I tested it with a vanilla save today (should I remove the mods tag?):

    Scenario 1

    • Opened business for day as the small business owner, stocked shelves with baked goods
    • Did not close business
    • Save and manage worlds, go to a different household
    • Visit small business same day, shelves are stocked, and baked items can be purchased

    Scenario 2

    • Opened business for day as the small business owner, stocked shelves with baked goods
    • Closed business
    • Save and manage worlds, go to a different household
    • Visit small business next day, shelves are not stocked, and there is nothing to be purchased

    Scenario 3

    • Opened business for day as the small business owner, stocked shelves with baked goods
    • Closed business
    • Save and manage worlds, go to a different household
    • Visit small business same day, shelves are stocked, and baked items can be purchased

    Thanks for testing. I changed the mod tag to mods/cc removed.

    Any update on this? I play rotational and had noticed that sims visiting someone else's small business bakery could not see most food items the owner had created. I say "most" because there were a few random lollipops, cotton candy and fizzy drinks showing and could be purchased. Today I was devastated to discover that when I returned to the bakery as the owner all my created cooked and baked food items (except those same few candies, and fizzy drinks) are gone. I have no mods, no cc.

  • This is happening to me also. I spent hours of my life crafting things for my sims to buy and they all disappeared. I have never played with mods or cc. 

    Edited to add- I play on PC

  • I've discovered a few things about this bug. Ceramics and candy do not seem to be impacted. I tried several display cases from the old pack "get to work" which are enabled for small business use. I have not had items disappear from any of the get to work display cases but I have been able to successfully purchase from them when on a small business(not retail) lot.

    Thanks for the additional details. That's good to know about the get to work display cases, I'll have to try those instead.

    Edit:  I tried the get to work "Baker's cousin display case" and have the same issue as the B&H display cases: cooked items disappear when I visit the small business the next day but lollipops are there.
