Business Panel Doesn't Show Owned Businesses

Recently, I am now unable to fill vacancies or properly manage the lot I purchase. 

After purchasing lot, I can open the ‘owned business’ panel, but to fill vacancy you must return home. Once on home lot, the ‘owned business panel’ no longer shows my rental unit. When looking at world map, when hovering over new rental I just purchased, it does show I own. 

The only time I’m successful in getting the ‘owned business panel’ to identify that I own property, is after clicking the build/buy mode while on rental lot and returning to live mode. 

Therefore, all I can do is buy the lot, and change the rental agreement. I cannot however find tenants or collect rent. 

I play sims 4 on Xbox. Please help!

    My Sim loses ownership of their Vet Clinic and Small Business every time I load the save.

    When entering the lot, the game shows that my household is not the owner, and all employees are reset.

    Ownership only appears correctly if I enter Build/Buy Mode and then return to Live Mode (but employees are still reset). This occurs every time I reload the save, edit in CAS, or travel.

    May I suggest you check and see what your lot is labeled. Like is it residential, park, library, bar, etc. If they family moved into a non-residential lot it could be the reason you are having these problems. I am pretty sure we shouldn't even be able to do this so it must be a glitch. But once I moved sims into a lot in Sulani and I couldn't do anything inside the home. I backed out and realized I had put a new home on the lot but it was still labeled beach. I even had other strange sims coming the house and swimming off the dock. lol I did have to remove the family by moving them to another lot. Then I had to go back and change the lot to residential. When I moved the family back in everything worked as it should. Hope this helps. Happy Simming.

    I think you are either on the wrong thread or simply completely off topic? It does not make sense at all with the subject here. Plus you can't move into a community lot, unless you mean a small business labelled as park, library, etc...

    Nothing so far, I know they did fix something last year I believe, well before we had businesses and hobbies, but it did not fixed it for me and it was only for new saves.

    There are multiple threads on this and this issue has been going on for over a year. It's beyond frustrating. 

    It's clearly something to do with how the "panel" reads in "data" from household to household because the bug spreads from household to household. If I go into my save now, and play a household I haven't since the bug occurred, the panel works fine. But as soon as I play leave and come back it affects that household as well. 

    It seems like the code that "calls in" the data in the UI for owned lots is broken. This was way before B&H and ironically, that patch for that EP fixed my broken household (that I happened to try out, that hadn't been reading in the owned businesses prior to patch). Only for it to break again. So it's definitely something to do with calling in the data.

    Does anyone take not of our feedback or they just want save so they can play test themselves? I spent countless hours bug testing this thing and left a whole report and I don't think it even mattered.
