[OPEN] [GTW] Items returned after selling at the retail shop
by Kanzaki_RankoOriginal Post
It happens to me too. With books being the sold items. Both bought from bookshelf and written by sims, the books return to my sims inventory when travelling to home lot, quoting I left them in a different lot.
It does not happen with items crafted within the scitentist occupation though, SimRays and Hoverlamp stayded in the shop, despite being put-able to inventory.
Books that were written by sims, but stored in a bookshelf (ergo not marked for sale) stayed on the retail lot.
No CC etc.
Thanks for repairing.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Island Living, Discover University, Snowy Escape. Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Vampires, Jungle Adventure, Realm of Magic. Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, Vintage Glamor, Bowling Night, Paranormal. Holiday Celebration Pack, Grim's Ghoulish Guitar.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? * Have a sim open a retail store from Back to Work * Place a magical tome from Realm of Magic ( like Tome of Repario, Tome of Prompt Resurrection) for sale in the store from the sim's inventory. * The Tome has to have been in the Sim's inventory for the bug to happen. If the Tome has never been in the Sim's inventory, it stays for sale in the store when the sim leaves the retail store lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the Sim leaves the retail store, the Tome is returned to the sim's inventory despite having been marked to be sold. There's a notification: 'The following items were returned to either your Sim's Inventory or the Household Inventory after being left on another lot. [Sim's name] [Tome name]
What do you expect to see? I would like the item I had the sim mark for sale in their retail store stay in the store and stay for sale, despite having once been in my sim's inventory.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.

I tried twice to return to the retail lot and place the tomes for sale to make sure I wasn't making a mistake. That's why there's two notifications in the screen shot.
Ordinarily, I appreciate, very much, that items my sims lose are returned to them when they leave lots. One of my families just went on a Snowy Escape vacation and were constantly leaving their personal laptops everywhere, and it was great to have the laptops returned every time they left a lot.
In this case, though, I'd like the Tomes that had once been in my sim's inventory to stay for sale in their retail store and not be returned to them.
I have a workaround already, I'm going to save a room that has the items I want the sim to place for sale, then place the room on the lot, and then move the tomes, and then have the sim mark them for sale. They stay in the retail lot, and stay for sale, if the sim never handles the tome.
I don't want to have to depend on the work-around, though, it ruins the immersion for me. Making a room that has the tomes in it already also defeats the purpose of making a store that sells them 
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
I bought my own retail lot and build a store. I then placed a book that my sims wrote and marked it up for sale, but whenever I leave to lot to go back home, the items automatically return to my inventory. I've tried everything from restarting the game to going through my setting to see for solutions. I don't have any mods nor custom content installed, and the internet is quite useless with this bug. Can somebody please help me out?
I've uploaded a picture of the notification I get after leaving my retail store.
