Unable to Transfer Lot Ownership of Home Business
Aggie:
I had a Sim that had started his own home business, but as he was getting on in years I thought I'd have him transfer the ownership of the lot to his son (who he had a 100/100 relationship with). Alas and alack, the option was not there, nor was the opportunity to pass on his one (yes, only only one) business perk. Once he passed away of old age, the lot transferred to his widow who did manage to get the Pass Along. . . option reinstated, but I still can't transfer the lot ownership to anyone else living there.
Would anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I did recently install the Glamour Life stuff pack if that's of any help at all.

The business perk passing, and lot ownership transfer isn't actually keyed to true "family", but rather, who is resident on the lot.

Yes, I noticed that about the perk passing, much to my annoyance. For the first time since I got OFB, I had a sim who owns 4 businesses invite her married daughter over to keep passing on the perks (eventual idea that the daughter would get one or more of the businesses). I quickly discovered that the 'pass along' thing doesn't appear for visitors. I had to make the daughter selectable so the mom could do it.
J. M. Pescado:
I actually have an Undiscovered Shiny for enabling the pass-perk thing. The transfer business thing is more complicated, as in order to transfer a business to another household, you have to do a LOT more than just transfer it. Heck, even if you MOVE THE OWNER, there's STILL things that have to be done, with the Lot Debugger, or the game will conveniently forget you've ever been to the business.

Really? The mom can't just transfer the deed to the business to her daughter who lives on another lot? Hmmm -- if it's that complicated, then I may just have mom sell it and send the money to the daughter instead. :)
