My Sim, as seen on the  ScreenPrint, is all cozy at home, but still shows as at Work. I couldn't  leave Work early, and when I click on the Work Icon on her Avatar, no options appears. Tried to Reset Object (Testingcheats),  change locations, repair Game and such. - Even tried going into CAS, and back out. A lot was going on at work at the time before the bug occured: She started the Shift in summerclothing, not changing into Work Clothes. I chose to stay late, trying for promotion, which I got. And then misdiagnosed a patient shorly after, just before shift ended. Then I was stuck at Work, with only the option to click on the Sim, and choose go home. I do use CC, Hair, Make Up, And Clothes, but no direct Game Changing Mods. This Appeared after the new Patch for Tiny Living. Can find a new job, but would like to see Her continue this one for a while.

    I had to cheat , clicked a random sim adding them to my family. Sent them home, switched controls to them then brought my main sim home and removed the rando from my family. 

    I was stuck in the hospital after giving birth thorough. I had added mods

    i didn't think about getting a screenshot but the screen was the same as when a sim is doing their active shift as a Scientist, Doctor, or Detective, except they can't leave. Work task panel in top left is still there, and the "Leave work early" option doesn't work, and can't go to manage worlds either.
