This issue has been going on for a while now, with no built-in fix seeming to be in sight.
The only thing I've noticed that seems to work is the following workaround:
- Send a sim to another lot, without the Sims that need to go to Work/School. (Try a commercial venue or something.)
- Once the sims who need to go to Work/School do so, move the sim you moved to another lot, back to the active lot.
(Note: Do NOT move the sim to another commercial venue or non-active lot; doing so seems to trigger the Work/School sims to return to the active lot.)
It's a temporary workaround that I've been having to use, and it actually works well if you have a Sim that has a job as a Doctor/Police Officer/Scientist since it forces a lot change anyway. That said, it doesn't work if the sims that need to work leave before the sim you move off the lot does.
So to any who need more of a simplified explanation of this workaround:
- Sim A & B need to go to work.
- Sim C does not need to go to work.
- Move Sim C to a commercial venue or different lot until Sim A & B go to work.
- Move Sim C back to the active lot.
I haven't tried it with situations where the sims that need to go to work aren't on their active lot when they leave for work, so the workaround may not work in specific situations like that.
