Where Are Your Sims When You Load Your Game?

Normally when I am dong playing I do it when all my sims are in bed and I save and exit game. I feel sure that when I returned to the game that they were still in bed or at the very least doing stuff...

    If you save and exit the game, then the next time open the same household, your sims should be exactly where you left them (although sometimes if you left them sleeping they may be standing next to the bed with “sleep” queued as their first action).

    If you play rotationally, however, your sims will move on without you and when you come back to the household it will pick places they’re likely to be - and if they were just pulled into a public lot as part of the crowd while playing another household they may still be there.

    Switching households in the middle of the night is the way you’re most likely to get sims all safely at home when you rotate in, but if you’re playing different households with vastly different work/sleep schedules, this can get thrown off.

Thank you! Your explanation makes perfect sense for me with the way that you explained it. My number of households has grown as my families expand and I get new, unrelated households here and there. So while I consider two households my main ones, it has gotten to where I am settling their children into their own households and not getting back to my main ones quickly like I used to. Which would explain why I have never seen this behavior. I appreciate you letting me know that this is normal because it has really been bothering me, as I am sure you gathered.
