I am also having this problem. When I'm playing my active sim on a lot other than home, and then I return home, my supposed-to-be-at-work sim is suddenly home, and is treated like they left work early (lower pay, performance hit), and the supposed-to-be-at-work sim has the "change phone color" action queued at that time.
One thing I noticed is that when I'm on the other lot, and then select travel to go home, when I'm in the map screen, it shows that my supposed-to-be-at-work sim is at home. But then, if I cancel the travel and remain at the other lot, it still shows that sim at work like they're supposed to be, with usual options to work hard, leave early, etc. So you can actually see it about to happen and still cancel it while in world view. It's only once I actually return home that the other sim is suddenly there.
This didn't start happening right when I got the new patch. It started right after the first time I intentionally used the change phone color feature.
@AmillzSlushoWhat mod are you referring to? I tried googling "change phone cover mod fix" and couldn't find it.
@JeriacorIt's in the list of Random Bug Fixes from LittleMS name 'Stop Change Phone Color Obsession' *snip*

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Italian
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ALL EXPANSION PACKS EXCEPT CoL and HSY/ALL GAME PACKS EXCEPT MWS and W/ALL STUFF PACKS/CKK-IAK-CSK-MCK
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? You need 2 Sims in the same household. Sim [A] goes to work, Sim [B] (the active one) travel to another world. Sim [B] returns home before the time when Sim [A] finishes work. When home, Sim [A] is already there.
What happens when the bug occurs? The Sim who should be at work returns home earlier than expected, along with the active Sim who was returning from another neighborhood/world.
What do you expect to see? I would like the Sim at work to stay until the end of his working hours.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Only a couple of CC hair in this save. No Mods.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes, after the patch 1.90
I think it's related to the phone idle interaction.
Be really nice if they fixed this already. It's extremely hard to play, when this happens. I haven't even bought HSY yet, and I don't want to until this is fixed, since I can't do anything that leaves the house I'm playing, without causing other sims to come back and mess up their stuff.
