[BH] Visitor earns simoleons for other sim's business

I'm playing as Kayla Flemming. She has a gym business where she mentors fitness for simoleons.

She visited a competitor's gym small business venue that she does not own. That small business has three employees and the owner who also mentor fitness for simoleons.

When the employees stop mentoring another sim in fitness, Kayla's household funds increase as if she were the sim doing the mentoring. This shouldn't happen because she does not own this small business, is not their employee and she wasn't the sim doing the mentoring.

She does share an employee with this business, but I don't know if it's related as this happens when the other employees mentor as well.

  • Hi classybananasala 

    for testing purposes, could you fire the employee in one of the business and see if it still happens or if the game is just confused about the employment ?

    I fired the employee and went back. Initially the bug didn't seem to be happening but the employees were mentoring the owner not a customer. I then had Kayla mentor a customer for simoleons (a bit cheeky to do at someone else's establishment!!) and that seemed to trigger the game to get confused again. I went to another lot and came back, and didn't mentor anyone (but did interact with customers) and the game was still confused.

    I restarted without saving from main menu and fired the employee again, went to the small business venue. Didn't interact with customers. Didn't even check in. Still "earned" simoleons.

    Marcus Flex just mentored Brant Hecking on the treadmill. Kayla doesn't work here.

    I then had her sell her own small business - still got free simoleons 🤑

    I've seen this as well. In my case the visiting sim does not own a small business at all, and is the lone member in their household. The business is owned by another previously played sim with one npc employee. Every time the employee mentors someone, I as the visiting sim get paid for it. I am not sure if the same happens when the owner mentors. By the way, in case it matters, I have seen this occur with Handiness, Painting, Gemology and Pottery mentoring.

    On the other hand, hey FREE MONEY! Who could complain about that?
