They do not do anything that they are supposed to, or should do, when you're not actively there with them. They don't go to school or work or take care of their children. Like they don't feed them. I play different households in my game and it may be quite a while before I get back to one. And when the household loads I will see parents that didn't go to work, kids that are late for school. And one of my sims daughter's hadn't been fed in such a long while that the game gave a notification saying something like eating so much quick foods was not good for her and that she needed real meals. Something really close to that.
I don't care whether sims go out on a date or I am playing other households, my sims should be doing the basic things that they need to do and taking care of themselves and their kids. At the very least their academics, professions, health and hygiene should be frozen so that nothing suffers, until such time as I load back in. This has been a long time gripe of mine so I totally understand where you're coming from. You can make them care for themselves to some degree when you have the parents out on a date but not well enough.

Nightgypsy I am totally with you on this, I also play many different households and there a mess when I get back. The food the children have been eating is to much junk food, its such a pain also as well as them just popping out for a date or a night out and everyone else in the household suffers ugh. Also my infants are still half way across the neighbourhood on the floor laying in the rain when I get log back in! I see that's still not been fixed! 😬 Just these little things that really get to me and like you say, to just have them do the basic is not a lot to ask 😒
