Issue remains after repairing the game, resetting Sims folder and starting a clean save without CC/Mods. Below are the screenshots I took after first repairing the game. This issue does not occur outside the San Myshuno apartments. A fellow user at The Sims Forums is having the same bug. Spoiler (Highlight to read)

@crinrict Sorry for the first picture. I wanted to show the notification and the apartment location. Here's a direct link http://i66.tinypic.com/10hivj7.jpg

I tried again resetting my folder and making a new clean save without cc/mods. This time the child didn't return early. But the mom did after two tries in Buy Mode. Made a video of how it happens.

Is also happening to me. Has happened every time so far while in the culpepper building. Haven't tried anywhere else yet.

It happens in other apartments / penthouses too. My Sims bug out and come home early.

I'm getting the same thing here too. Both in Culpepper and ZenView.

I tested a little bit as well because I noticed my sims were suddenly coming home early while I was in buy mode as well. For me it seems to happen when selling one of their household items. I forgot to check if it also happens when I make a purchase. Just going into buy mode wasn't enough to send them home.

I made sure all of my mods and cc were disabled when I went to verify that this was an actual bug.

Could anyone check for me if it also happens in houses or just apartments ?

@crinrict I play tested Goth, BFF, and Pancake households and leaving work early does not happen in houses when they go to work and you enter Buy/Build Mode. Play testing included selling and buying items, but no changes to the structure of the houses. Selling and buying items was the trigger for bringing my apartment-living Sims home early from work.

Great.

Thank you for testing.
