@aodoherty Hello! I haven't played this specific scenario, but I have noticed other issues with transportalate. Every time I ask my sim to feed a toddler in a high chair, the sim will transportalate to the high chair then walk back to pick up the toddler and walk back to put the toddler down. When you are having your sim go back to the patient, are you selecting an action, like diagnose, while your sim is still in the lab? Perhaps try directing your sim to transportalate to the patient first and then select the next interaction.
Yes I have the same issue as your case too. I usually don’t place any high chair but, my spellcaster sim does the same progress when trying to go for the bedtime story. The parent sim transportalate to the toddler bed first alone, then she walks back to her toddler to pick up, then she walks back to the toddler bed with her toddler again, then reads a book for bedtime story. This issue works exactly same progress in the hospital. The sims tend to go back to the previous spot to obey the command. I have been feeling this ages ago and the spellcaster sims do it in the same way by walk, instead of using transportalate spell. I tried to move to the spot just beside the patient first, then commanded to examine the patient, then he walked back to the lab room again, then back to the patient again. Always transportalate is enabled.
@aodoherty Oh! Well, there goes my theory. I will test this in my game as soon as I can and will report back if it happens for me as well. Thanks for the update!
