Going to lock this thread as it doesn't have the new bug template and has become a bit of a mess.
Just make a new thread if you still have this issue occurring WITHOUT MODS.
Have you tried having the sim on another lot when work begins? Does the sim leave the lot and the game return to your home lot with the sim at work?
Yes It happens again the next day. I have to make my sims leave work early everyday. No I have not tried having my sim on another lot when his work begins.
This is so frustrating... they just get stuck at work each day even tough they're at home, this renders the game completely unplayable. Please EA fix this SOON.
Also I noticed it doesn't always happen. I tried switching households right before my sim got to work/school and then switched back and then my sim would come back normally. Still, this trick only works like 2 out of 5 times I try.
Belive me this is not the biggest/worst gamebreaking bug. I have the bill stuck in inventory bug and this bug just completely renders the game unplayable after 1 in game week, all power and water to the house is cut off. I have also noticed that out of 3 sims in my household, one of them does not get the stuck at work bug. So 2 out of 3 of my sims icons stay grey after work.
