[OPEN] Game does not follow active sim back home from another lot

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Sometimes
What is your current game version number? 1.103.250.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All eps except for HSY, Horse ranch and for rent.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? have sims travel to another lot other than the home lot, and then send them all home.
What happens when the bug occurs? Active sim leaves the lot but the game does not follow them.
What do you expect to see? The game to follow the active sim back home
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? yes, I can't replicate this reliably enough to remove mods to test.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? no

just wondering if anyone else has this issue as well. it only happens to me occasionally (like less than half of the time) but it is annoying to have to go to manage worlds and reselect your household rather than have the game follow your active sim home when you use the "go home" command.

    @crinrictI don't, no. My home lot is 11C Sungai Point in Tomarang, and I haven't changed it from the default traits.

    @QuidTache Can you enter the home lot from the map ?

    Try evicting your Sims to get them off the community lot or travel with another Sim to your home lot to see if it loads.

    I believe this is a symptom if the home lot can't be loaded anymore.

    @crinrictThe issue hasn't happened since I worked around it by exiting and re-entering the game. It's been a one-off so far, after I travelled to the bar in Tomarang with a non-household Sim accompanying my Sim. It hasn't occurred any other time I've returned from a community lot to my home lot, but those were always solo outings without a non-household Sim involved. I don't know if it's anything to do with the non-household Sim in my group leaving the community lot before I did.

    This happens to me sometimes. I travel around a lot with my sims and most of the time "go home" works, but in like 5% of cases the camera stays on the lot indefinitely and all the sims are in care for self mode at home. For me selecting "switch control to" any sim at home works for triggering the loading screen; I don't have to go back to manage worlds.
