Sims are not taking care of their need while they are working if the active sim is not on the home lot.
This bug was introduced in the December patch and I reported it here back in january http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Can-t-control-Sim-in-public-lot-AFTER-career-update/m-p/4212747#M7311 along with sims who return home when at sim is at another lot no longer having any controls.
Unfortunately my bug report was merged with a thread on the second issue and it now appears that the bug where the sims were not looking after their needs when they are at work has being overlooked by developers.
Today I downloaded and tested the new patch. If the the active sim is not on the home lot while a sim is at school/work the sims who is at school/work will not take care of their bladder or hunger needs until they return home. This is having a noticeable impact on their performance at school/work.
I'l post pictures when I have time.
Please please please please can the developers confirm that this bug is radar to be be fixed.
I am so deeply disappointed that it was fixed fixed before the release of GTW
Deeply deeply disappointed.
I guess I won't buying GTW after all.
But you have the flash back now but care for self doesn't do anything ? Is that what you are saying ?
No
They will care for themselves once they return home but while they are at work they won't take care of their needs. For example I have a sim who is a team mascot. She is also pregnant - this bug affect both pregnant and non-pregnant sim but pregnant sims suffer more because their need decay faster. She went to work, if her mother was at home she went to the toilet once and ate twice during her shift but if I sent her mother the park while she was working she wouldn't eat or go to the toilet during the shift and by the time her bladder need was in the red and her hunger need was orange and she had made less progress toward promotion. Once she returned home she started looking after her needs.
I'll add this.
As a reminder for next time (since I do not believe this issue to be related to the other bug), make one thread per issue.
Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Does the same happen on a fresh save game for testing purposes ?
Hi @Chantel018
are you still having issues with this ?
I've noticed I can minimize this issue with multiple clicks of care for self (watching the needs UI to see which need is being fixed), although it's not perfect (yeah, duh me, it's not perfect, it's Sims. Lol)
does that only happen for energy for you or for all needs ?
I had this issue for a while now that I have to explicitly choose care for self for them to actually do that even though the option was already set. Did figure that was by design though ?
Are their needs really low when you get back home ?
