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? 1.45.62.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have two or more sims in an active career. When both have work on the same day, use "Go to Work/Send Alone" on the sim who starts earlier in the day. Choose "Join" for the sim who starts later.
What happens when the bug occurs? When you join the second sim at the work lot, the first sim will leave work early and return home, no matter how long they have left on their work shift.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see sims completing their full work day, as expected.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
This problem started for me when I began playing my existing Legacy save after the most recent patch. I had not played it since before Seasons came out because I wanted to wait for the first few rounds of bug fixes.
I'm not sure whether this is related to the other problems with sims leaving work early, because it only happens to the sims in active careers. My sim in the chef career never has the problem. However, it happens to all three of my active career sims. If I send one off to work alone, as soon as I join the second at work, the first one resets back home again, often earning a pitiful amount of money for only an hour of work.
I do also have the problems with sims leaving work because of a club gathering or travel during a holiday, but as I said - I don't know whether it's the same root issue.
I really hope the problem can be resolved soon!
