In the last week of gameplay:
-Owned retail, rental and restaurant lots are not showing up in the business panel. Some of my sims own multiple venues and the panel says nothing is owned.
-The manage worlds screen seems to correctly identify the lots with the respective owners.
-Retail lots are not spawning NPCs still / not showing as owned either...(that part is new) NPCs not showing up is not..
It appears any owned venue / lot is glitched and not reading into the current household properly in game.
As an example: The Restaurant I just had built with a household and got functional for rotational gameplay still had the same employees but my owner sim couldn't manage them or direct them as if she wasn't the owner. Additionally, NPC's including the actual employees can't get passed doors assigned for the employees only on the owned lot. I noticed this play testing other situations trying to pinpoint the cause.
Another example: My Retail lot (department store) doesn't function if you visit when it is owned by the household, but upon selling it back with no hired employees, the lot functions as normal.
Rental Lots have the same issue. Don't show up in the business panel in live mode, but do in manage worlds.
one retail lot seems to to give an error code 123 for the owned household if they go visit the lot after switching households and having visited with another household prior. Then it "error codes" out.
I believe the issue lies somewhere with the "current active household" parameters and the owned venues. This started after For Rent but has gotten progressively worse and spread into other venues since the most recent updates. This aforementioned lot can't be visited without an error code 123. so inconsistently I can't find a source to it. I don't know if its from the updates or not recognizing the NPC retail glitch problem was larger than that. it's a venue / household logistics thing.
it's terrible. All those hours of work and it's useless now. (retails, restaurants, rentals).
