Giving away (or selling for 1$) a business.
Inge:
I thought I had already asked this here but I can't find the thread in my subscription list now...
My sim wants to give the family business to his son, who has now moved into his own home. Giving him the deed didn't seem to do the trick - the son owns the deed now, but not the business. I'd also be happy to sell it to him cheaply if needs be, but I can't find how to do that either.
jsalemi:
How did you give him the deed? Did you just move it from inventory to inventory? Or did you click on it and 'transfer business to...'?
I seem to recall some discussion here not long ago about wonkiness caused by moving a business to an off-lot owner, but I'm not sure thats the case here.
Berg:
I faced the same dilemma when a family in this 'hood wanted to give their owned lots to the mayor.
If my memory serves correctly, I think I did it like this:
I had the owner of the community lot start a home business. Closed it with the open/close sign. Put the deed for the community lot somewhere and marked it for sale for §1. I then invited the sim I wanted to give the lot to over on the phone. When the sim had arrived, the home business opened and and the sales transaction took place in a great hurry before any other customer could come and spoil the whole thing :P
No, it's not a very smooth method and I hope there's a better one available, but if not...
Inge:
Well I did try starting a home business and selling the business but it was still only the deed as far as I could tell. So if I get the deed out, in the owner's home (I will have to get the son to give it back as a gift first) and put it on the floor, it will have an option for transferring the business?
Berg:
You can also order a new deed on the phone; it will show up in the owner's inventory.
Hmm, I thought you could only transfer the business (by clicking on the deed and "Transfer..." ) to someone living on the same lot, but I guess I never tried it that way.... Maybe it was that easy all along? :(
