Crafted Items at lower price

Retail is BROKEN. I have removed all my Mods, Repaired game, ect. In my Art Gallery I make a painting set for sale at ay 1500.00. If I leave store and return the painting is now worth 200.00 I have to set not for sale then put into inventory and then put back up on wall and set for sale again for it to go back to 1500.00. Seems to only effect Normal and Excellent painting. Not happening with Masterpieces. Just happened on Last update.

  • The price of a painting created using the painting skill will fluctuate each time you change the location of the painting.

     

    I don't know when this issue appear, but at least, I have the pics about this issue during Forever Friend Event on Sep/2025.
    The Sim in the attached pics has not yet reached level 10 in painting skill and is not in any job.
    When this issue happened in September, the another Sim who drew the picture had level 10 painting skill and a level 10 job rank, Master of the Real. So, I think that the painting skill level of the Sim who painted the paintings or the level of the Painter job is not relevant.
    The Paintings need to keep the price as same as finished to paint.
    This occured on residential lot type, not on retail lot type. My Sim does't have any retails.

  • I’m having an issue with selling my oversized crops (Cottage Living) in my retail store (Get To Work). The crops are perfect quality and the info panel says they are worth upwards of $100, but they are selling for $12 or even $0. The size of the crop doesn’t seem to matter. The normal, medium, and oversized crops of all crop types (lettuce, eggplant, mushroom, pumpkin and watermelon) all sell incorrectly. I haven’t tried selling any other base game crops, so I’m not sure how they compare to the Cottage Living crops. Other non-crop items (decor, furniture) in the store are selling for the correct price. Also, the crops do sell for the correct price through my inventory, but not when they are ‘set for sale’ in my store. I don’t use mods or CC, so I know that’s not the issue. I also built this lot myself, as I do with all of my sims and lots, so there should me nothing from the Gallery causing issues. 

    This is my first time selling my crops in a retail store, so I wasn’t sure if it was even possible. Are these two packs just incompatible or is this an issue that can be resolved? Thanks for your help!

    I had this same problem when I tried to sell photographs, even though the value was for example 70 simoleans in my inventory they were selling for 10. I gave up in the end it was more trouble than it was worth. This was using get to work pack as well.

  • I'm having the same issue -- and I think it affected programming, too, because my sim made a plugin that sold for §0. I don't know if that just happens sometimes. I've never found programming to be very lucrative, even before this bug. But I'm definitely having it with high-level paintings selling for less than the price of the canvas. 

  • Sooo I don't know if this is a new feature or just a simple bug. However, what is happening is that when my sims paints a painting it decreases in value over time. It can also just take a few seconds before it drops in value. An excellent or even masterpiece painting will drop about 100-200 simoleons by just hovering over it. Makes 1500 worth of paintings suddenly be worth 100 after hanging on the wall for a bit.

    I'd love to hear from you guys, please advise on what I can do
