Re: [FIXED] Sim stuck at work/school (Patch 1.63.133/1.25)

I'm getting the same issue.

My sim just got promoted, came home, went to the gym and then boom the bug appeared.

The other sim in the same household is perfectly fine.

I've read this thread and the thread where this happened back in 2014 and attempted all the solutions mentioned but no luck.
She isn't even going to work anymore, so the bug doesn't even fix/reset itself.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Windows 10
Which language are you playing the game in? English - American
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) *with special promotion
What is your current game version number? 1.27
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Grim's Ghoulish Guitar
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Be in a career that triggers a special event that gives promotion + fame, accept.
What happens when the bug occurs? You accept the promotion+fame event, wait to end of work shift. The sim physically returns from work after the shift at the correct time, but according to the UI they remain "at work".  They are controllable.
What do you expect to see? I expect them to just return from work at the end of the shift, and the UI to reflect that.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? None, and since I recently rebuilt computer it is also a fresh clean install!
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It started my first game back playing, so no.
Please describe the patch or change you made. I created my first game in the new install after the Eco content drop.

Seems to be, with me, that the special promotion type is the trigger. I have restarted the save 2x and each time it happens. I have a save right after it happened and one from about 15 minutes before it happened this time. Though I can't be sure the event will trigger again if started from the save before as it is a special, random one.

And this time, a save and reload cleared his "at work" status. But maybe a reliable trigger will help debug?

Hello! (^-^)

I have the problem since yesterday. My Sim was a student and worked a job as well. But at some point he could not attend the classes at university anymore. After quitting University he could not go to work. And after changing his job he still could not go to work.

It is a new save and I tried to reset the Sim with the cheat, moved the sim in and out his appartment but nothing did work. His icon is grey.

UPDATE: I moved a Sim into the household. The icon is not grey anymore but the first Sim still does not go to work.
