Urgh! Sim won't go to work glitch!

Usually it's the career outfit - and like you this almost only happens for me with Film or PI careers. Can you try having him change his clothes? Sometimes that works. If not the way I get it to work is using testing cheats and editing the sims career outfit.

This solution works for me too. I run into this problem on occasion, and changing into work gear always does the trick.

I had that glitch happen once and it got solved by replacing their workplace rabbithole and getting them a new job at the new place.They went to work at the replace rabbithole and that glitch can be cause by routing issues on the workplace lot which means you might have to demolish the lot and replace it.You might also have to rest your town if it continues.

What a coincidence, I literally just answered almost the same question XD Here is what I said, pasted in:

You need to change their career outfit because that's why they won't go to work. But as you say, going to the dresser freezes it when they're in their career clothes, so do this: change their outfit to everyday, or something different (NOT Career) and then from there, you can click on the career outfit button as you click down the other outfits. Change it to whatever, and it should be fixed after that. Worked both times I've had this glitch with me, so I hope it works for you too ^_^

Yes, changing into the outfit before sending my Sim to work worked! Thank you for your help everyone. I was just getting worried because I was scared that if the problem didn't fix itself or get fixed, then my Sim would eventually get fired, and no-one wants that! All that hard work to reach that level in a Sim's career.

Honestly, just yesterday I had sent my sim to work (a household of mother, daughter and two pets- a cat and a dog.
I went off the lot looking around the backyard when I got a notification saying she'd be late for work/something of the sort and of course I thought well, that's okay.
But then when I click on her sim she's petting the dog?? I tried to send her to work again- therein cancelling her action of petting the dog- but what I got was her running to the household door and then disappearing (kind of like a hologram) and I then see her still standing where she had been before lol.
I was pretty spooked, I tried sending her to work by her car by clicking on it and the same thing happened. Even the dog couldn't leave the house! So I just paused the game, saved and quitted and started playing again.
It was the first time something like that happened to me but it hasn't happened again so far.
