Owned Businesses - Bug / Glitch

I have reported this before. Crin closed it immediately because it had to many things / didn't follow a protocol I was unaware of. 

Links to other "bug report" threads say it's been resolved. It's not.

I tried the search option. First thread I found was my closed one. :) 

Once again, Residential Rental Lots, Retail Lots, Restaurants that are owned by a household, show up as owned in the map view but do not show up as owned in the owned venues panel for said household. Then operations are not as they should be upon visiting these lots from other households. People say it is true for Vet Clinics as well, I just have not explored that gameplay personally. 

Additionally, these lots do seem to operate properly when they are sold back to "community" and are not owned by a specific household. Employees show up and the lots work properly but not with the employees you spent days training and playing to build up that level of business function in game. 

Forgive me if I don't know how to navigate this. I tried the existing threads but they're "closed because they're resolved" but its not. So I'm making a new attempt.

EA_Cade  Tagging so you will maybe see this as opposed to it being dismissed as not reported properly. Then official bug threads denote it's resolved when it is not. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops here to report a bug on a thousand dollar plus game. The issue between all business types from various paid packs are clearly related.

Thank you!

    EA_Cade Thank you for this kind response! It lessens the aggravation. I think this is part of my confusion when I look for these bugs in the forums is people are separating these issues and it doesn't seem like a separate issue to me because at the core, these issues are all the same and affect only "owned businesses" that same business runs fine if you sell it off to the "community" so to speak, but you loose all your hard work.

    Also, one thread has gotten new attention again since the alleged patch fix a few months ago and the other is new since I first posted about it 5 months ago. I really don't like sharing saves but if it will help I am open.

    It definitely "spreads" from household to household as I've tested it. I have many retail lots as OFB was my fav thing to do. So I have created many stores for my game so sims can go shopping. So when I go to a store and it works fine, what's different? I haven't played that said household that owns it since this started. Then I go play it, switch households again and go back to that said store and it doesn't work. This makes me believe it is a call in data error on the panels part, which then breaks the functionality somehow. I am a novice coder but been dealing with Sim glitches since 2000. 

    Hope this helps us figure this out! I want OFB part 2! lol
