@cedesdc This is about selling in a retail store ?

[cedesdc]

Yes!

[crinrict]

@cedesdc Need to make sure I understand you correctly, does the burnt down candle sell for the same amount as unused or is the price just different after restocking ?

Does it restock as burnt down candle ?

[cedesdc]

It sells for the same amount as before, and the retail is the same, it just restocks as a burnt down candle.

[crinrict]

@cedesdc Thank you for clarifying.

Yeah, that doesn't sound right.

I would expect it to either restock at the length the sold candle was or full.

@cedesdc I believe this is by design because candles tie in with the lot's lighting system.   When you place the candles, they will burn if you have the lights on or auto lights on although the candle does not show its burned state while for sale.   Make sure you extinguish the candles before you set them for sale.  If you don't extinguish them, they will restock in a burned state.

I have been playing with a store that sells candles.  It is annoying to have to extinguish the candles each time the store opens or I restock so they do restock in the burned state.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place candles to sell in retail stores. after sale, replace them.
What happens when the bug occurs? You notice that the candles, even when extinguished when they are put back in the store, melt as if they were lit.
What do you expect to see? The candles extinguished after being sold in the store, when being replaced again, must remain unlit and intact, not melted.

have this problem as well. basically you cannot have a store selling these crafted candles unless it's actually run by a Sim you play. Unfortunately, the conceptualization of coding these candles into the lighting system is a mistake. They should be separately activated and not part of the game lighting system as they currently are. 

even if you extinguish them when you place them, if you're not actively controlling the lot, each time Sims enter the lot the candles will activate.
