Hi,
I think this is the most annoying bug for a household rotational players, like me.
After switching to a household and if any of the sims have to work within that period of sim time,they will be late for school/ work.
This will cause a huge performance loss and it's a pain to rebuild back the performance.
The only turnaround is to prevent household switching during their working hours (preferably 6am)
Unlike previously, if the switching was done during their working hours, they may not need to go to work and no performance loss too.
Just a follow-up here, this issue is still occurring as of 9/8/15.
I will provide screenshots of this issue occurring next I change played lots...I'm currently expecting a new sim to be born on this lot.

It’s still occurring as of 03/18/2020 :/
It makes me sad that this has been an issue since 2015 and rotational play still doesn't work properly :/
@adduapinathat was literally my response just now when I found out it's been reported years ago. My sims don't go to work/school because of this issue and one of my sims was suspended from university, probably didn't go to class at all. Very, very disappointing that such old bugs are NOT addressed and fixed while they keep putting out new stuff, which actually causes more bugs. (since my last 3 packs, I've had nothing but bugs; get together, fitness pack and outdoor retreat). Very disappointed to be honest ☹️
Question: does this issue also relate to kids/teens not doing HOMEWORK? Because I just found one of my kids was very late for school and actually her performance is now "poor" ☹️
In case this topic still needs input, I think @burin077 summed it up perfectly on page 2 of this thread (back in 2015!!!):
- Issue triggers reliably when accessing a lot where one of the sims has a job during the time the last time the game was saved/changed lots. (For example, if you change lots and it's 4:00 PM, and on the new lot you have someone who works from 2 PM - 9 PM, they will be considered late and will suffer a work performance penalty.)
- The issue does NOT occur if the lot is access RIGHT UPON the time that the Sim must work, merely signaling that they need to go to work, meaning you will have to select the sim and select "Go to Work."
- The issue does not trigger if it is not during their work hours, or on a day off.
The next part for me to test would be if I left a sim on a career lot, if that would affect them. That would be an interesting result.
5 years later, and our Sims STILL don't go to work or school during rotational play. Ah but we have knitting, and star bores... sigh.
