Played Sims quitting & getting jobs
The March 26, 2015, patch notes say: "Non-played Sims (sometimes referred to as townies) now have jobs!" But I've had played Sims be given jobs, when I was rotated away from them. Other Simmers are...

I play several families in rotation. Sims that have jobs seem fine. Sims that I intended to not work, now have jobs.
At first it seemed ok. When I had a sim I was playing ask one of my other (not currently playing) sims about her career, the response was Stay at Home Mom. However, when I went to play with the Stay at Home Mom's household, she was a Level 3 Tech Guru. Insult to injury, that should have unlocked the coffeepot. It didn't.
It would greatly help, if we could actually assign "Stay at Home" jobs. Or "Self-Employed." Then the game might leave our ostensibly "unemployed" sims alone.
It's useless allowing your elders to retire because as soon as you leave their house, they are assigned employment again. I don't know if this is affecting their pensions as my sims have lots of money anyway but it is annoying to me. My elders have earned the right to put their feet up and relax before the Grim Reaper calls.
