Small business on residential lot won’t let me close/sell
I had been running the small business with no issues for a couple of sims days, but when I set up a second business under another sim, suddenly the game wouldn’t let me close or sell the original small business no matter what I did. Even after it had been running for 24 hours the game gave me a notification that the business would automatically close, and I was relieved because my sims were exhausted (🤣) but it still didn’t close. It also wouldn’t show my employees in the manage employees task but my household sims that are employees still showed up as employees on their jobs UI. Those household employees also could not quit. And sometimes it would say that my owner sim did not own any small businesses (but customers still wouldn’t quit using the business) until I went into build mode and came back out, then it would recognize his small (forever uncloseable) business again. I tried selling and that wouldn’t work either. So I tried evicting them and moving them back in and that didn’t work either. I’m stuck with a forever open music venue in Chestnut Ridge with my sims working themselves to the bone. 😆 I even moved out my sims, deleted them and it still only recognized my lot as a small business and wouldn’t let me change the public/residential/employee only boundaries without an active business.
I took out all mods, deleted my local cache file, and repaired the game, none of these things had any effect. I am playing on a Mac.
