It's just a typo - regular present. I'm not aware of any consequences of transferring business deeds using the "give gift" interaction, but I seem to remember a unique "transfer ownership" interaction? Am I confused and conflating the deed with the "transfer perks" mechanic?

There's bound to be a protocol for inheritance of businesses and vacation homes, but I haven't paid enough attention to it to know what it is. If it's related to the insurance benefit code it would be based on relationship level, which seems like the way the developers liked to work things, but my impression is that deeds can only be automatically redistributed to someone in the same household.

I have had instances where businesses are passed on to the next nearest relative living in the house. Usually it's a spouse, I do believe but it can be a child if there is no spouse. Relationship levels are important, just as they are when insurance payouts are made.

I just posted that lol.

In the Sim's inventory is a little deed, which you can pull out of his backpack and display on a wall or table. Interacting with the deed allows you to sell it back to the community or transfer ownership to someone else.

No repercussions, apart from the usual caveats that apply when registry editing.

I frequently change mine, my daughter's game is in US English and mine in UK English- and if I play our shared hood in the wrong language the sim names are different. I fix them as I go along but change the language anyway in case we generate any new sims in a session.

You can either transfer ownership by clicking on the deed, or use the Propose.../Transfer Lot Ownership social interaction. It doesn't really matter who has the deed, or where the deed is, that doesn't determine who owns the business (and if the deed gets deleted, the business owner can order another one). If you sell the deed to another playable sim via a business lot, that also transfers the business to the sim that bought it.

I'm thinking of something bolder – changing it from US English to Finnish. Will be hilarious to see my first attempts at romantic hugs between spouses result in a physical confrontation instead

If I recall right, early Finnish versions had a mistranslation where they used the wrong context when translating 'fire', so the pie menu actually ended up being something like 'shoot nanny'.

Well I can't speak for any cultural differences!
But really the only glitches you'd see are strings being translated- anything that has text in the game (pie menus on modded objects, sims, lots...) will be translated (or not, depending on how it's set up). So if you play Pleasantview, you will see Johanna Goottila and Toni Lorula instead of Bella Goth and Don Lothario. It was confusing thta even the sims we'd made ourselves or had generated during gameplay had different names in the different languages.

Oh god I still remember panicking and thinking I'd somehow corrupted my hood after I launched SimPE with the wrong English and got all random names on my custom Sims.

I've been wondering-are some items in the buy catalog hard-coded to be not priced for sale, or can you change it by going into SimPE to make it buyable?
I've changed things to become buyable, but that was only because they weren't put in the right category or they were made before "Open for Business' was made.
I'm thinking of the coded items-like there is a new 'male' cowplant (and a growable version plot) that is coded to not be priced for sale. That's very irritating because I think everyone should have the option to buy them at a Garden Center.

Hmph!

What could be the cause of huge amounts of money disappearing from time to time? I've asked about it in the past but never got a satisfactory answer... and I've been gaslit into thinking I'm imagining it or it must be because of furniture deprecating in value or something like that but NO! I finally have picture proof and it's on a house that's been there a really long time so the value isn't deprecating that much anymore. It's happening all over my game but it only seems to start to happen when they go above a certain million simoleans. All of a sudden, millions of simoleans will be gone the next time I play the household. Once had that happen to a family with §10M, they went down to §4M and I've never had a family that rich again. I have Monique's laptop with its banking feature, could that be it? If you send too much money, does it go over the 16 bit integer limit and go minus instead or something?
It's really annoying, I'll have to start noting down their family funds myself every time I play. Can't trust the game.

If it was Monique's banking feature then I'd expect it to be findable in the bank.

I read that thread, and I'm still puzzled as to how it applies to the object I'm referring to, frankly-

because I have the object open in SimPE as I'm writing this,

and under

PJSE "Behavior Function Editor"

the line is

Catalog Function

"Filename CT - Not Restockable" (followed by tab lines and numbers)
"0x0 (0)[global 0x 500) Shopping- Not Resellable" with 'true FFFD' 'False FFFC'

Is the "True Target' Return True False Target: error the reason that you cannot sell such an item, and if so, can you change it to reflect that you can sell it and set a price?

Sorry if I sound incomprehensible but I opened up the object directly in SimPE. It's a custom object so I'm not doing anything because I'm just trying to figure out if it can be recoded to become sellable.

I'm not doing anything until I can be assured that any actions I do won't corrupt the file itself-so I closed it out for the moment.

I'm fairly comfy with SimPE except that the Simantics editors do throw me for a loop.

Ooh sorry @FranH I got the wrong thing! Here's an answer that might help:
