Re: [OPEN] Rotational play causes Sims to miss work

Hi @imsuuchadreamer

I've merged your post with existing report.

It's by design that Sims stay outside your house if you play rotationally. The work thing is a bug (this thread). The need has also been reported.

Also relationship culling on acquaintances is also by design if you play rotationally. The decay being very fast now is something the QA is aware of. Here's some more info to that: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/892376/relationship-culling-has-led-to-baby-neglect

    Just wanted to say this work bug seems to be fixed as of 15 June patch.  I've now tested in 2 different files, with and without mods, and the sims correctly go back to work or school if that is where they were when you saved and exited.  Not tried rotationally 'cause I don't really play that way.

    Rotationally is what the issue is and I'm pretty sure it's still happening for me but I'll double check

  • Did some fairly extensive testing and this is what happened:

    Switched between three different households in the same game to determine what time they would go to work that day.

    First household - two Sims went to work at 10 AM.

    Second household - switched at 11 AM and one Sim was at home instead of work, the other Sim was visiting someone and not at work. Both Sims showed as late and took a work performance hit. Had to bring 2nd Sim home before sending him to work.

    Switched back to first household. All Sims reported as being at home but when the home lot loaded, both Sims who had gone to work earlier were still at work.

    Third household - switched at 3 PM. The only Sim who was supposed to be working was at home and showed as late. Sent him to work.

    Switched back to 2nd household at 4 PM. Both Sims still working.

    Switched back to 1st household at 4:15 PM. One Sim had returned home - other still at work.

    I'm not quite sure what to make of this. At *no* time were the Sims gathered in front of their house like they used to - but it seems I had to *send* them to work. They didn't seem to go on their own - but stayed at work once I had sent them there.
