[OPEN] Sims on home lot don't take care of needs when active sims away

The Matron of my household (3 young adults, 1 adult, 2 children and 2 toddlers) is a magic user and needed to speak with the heads of each Magical Skill to get the final spell and alchemy recipe.  I sent her to the Magical Realm and set everyone to care for themselves.  After a few minutes, I noticed all the portraits of the Sims I left at home were all orange and clicking on them revealed they had multiple needs in the red.  Clicking on the toddlers triggered a warning to pop up stating that if I did not feed the toddlers soon the social worker would take them away.  I abandoned my attempt to get the final spells, feeling much like Ms. Price in Bed Knobs and Broomsticks losing the Star of Asteroth, and spent the next real world hour trying to save my sims family.

This is one of the main reasons I don't send my Sims anywhere alone and why I NEVER play the Active Careers (scientist, doctor, actor, etc.) because the Sims left at home almost die while I am at work.

Definitely seems to happen more often to households with anyone younger than Young Adult. Seems to make every sim left behind have a rough time though, not just the kids.
Needs more testing though

If you have toddlers that are hungry have one member of the family work on cooking skill, this will allow the toddler to eat.  Also sometimes if the power or water is off they won't fulfill their needs.

Is anyone still experiencing this issue? A save file would be much appreciated, thanks so much!

I am just going to apply all the info I know here just in case. From what I am seeing when I am at work with a sim my other sims will not use the restroom automatically. I have autonomy on and they go automatically when I am not at work with my sim. It always occurs when I am at work with a sim and never occurs when I am not at work. I have only tried the detective and doctor professions. 

Thank You

Yea it is similar to the other thread I am talking about the needs of the sims staying home but it only occurs when I am at work with my sims. Should I add my input to the other thread or is it different.

@ForestBeWithYou I think it's the same. I'll merge your thread then.

Could you send your save to QA as asked by Nick ?

This is happening to me in Glimmerbrook now.  I don't think I had an issue when the family was living in another town, until after I had one of the sims go to the magic realm and return.  I moved the family to Glimmerbrook after that and it seems to happen every time I leave sims at home.
