I don't know if it is actually called a bug or a glitch but whenever my sim goes to work from a location that isn't the home lot, when it makes me go back to the home lot to wait for them to finish work, it instantly stops them from being at work and sends them home too. Yesterday when playing, my sim literally returned home with the game saying she had done lots of hard work yet she had only made 1 single simoleon. I reloaded the game and it still keeps happening. I even full on reinstalled the game which also didn't fix anything. Does anyone know anything that could fix it?

Recently I've been having an issue with my game, where if one of my sims travels to a different lot whilst my other sims are at work/ school they'll come straight home. This is really annoying as I can't send them back to work/ school so it lowers their progress. They're not travelling with this sim so I don't understand why they'll be sent home.
I'm aware this June update has been causing people some issues, so I don't know if it is related to that. I play on my MacBook with the Sims 4 game up to date. If anyone could help me figure out how to fix this, it'll be very much appreciated.

I was having a similar issue yesterday. I would get a window asking if I wanted the Sim at work/school to return home. I think it started around the same time as the event.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.115.253.1020 DX11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Holiday Celebration Pack, Get to Work, Discover University, Dine Out
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have sims either at work, university, school or "somewhere they're supposed to be"; THEN, travel with an active sim to another lot;
What happens when the bug occurs? All the "somewhere they're supposed to be" sims will automatically end their "work day", return to their home lot with the little money they've earnt.
What do you expect to see? Them to remain to their job or "place where they're supposed to be".
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Affected equally, both in new and older games. Modded or not.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The 'Nature's calling' patch seems to be the problem.
I've attempt to localise where the problem of this patch was. These are my conclusions.It appears that the "Nature's calling" event while ACTIVE (specifically for me it was the 2nd or 3rd mission I think - the one to go to a park and listen to the wind) causes the problem. That meaning that while I ACTIVATED but not carried it out, sims would return from their jobs early whenever I'd travel to any lot or even return home from another lot.
Completing the mission and NOT taking another one has looked to fix the problem all together.
According to lastexpection the error resides within the 'Live Event UI dialog system'. - Chocogal672 months agoNew Spectator
This is happening to me!!! It is almost making my game unplayable. My sims are doing so bad in their careers now. Anytime I join my sim in their career the others in the house leave work early.

Anytime I join my SIM for their active career (detective or doctor) the other Sims in the household leave work early immediately after the loading screen is done. This is causing my game to become unplayable due to this glitch. My Sims are doing terrible at their careers and I’m not making any money.

Me too. Husband and kids went to work/school as per normal. Sent the wife to the spa for a well deserved relaxing time. As soon as she landed on the lot. The husband and the kids - left work and school early. Now they are all at the spa. I am using a pc as well. I should say this is the second day running that this has occured - ever since the nature event started.

This is happening to me as well, on PC. Cleared out all mods, game repaired, and started a fresh save. Any load screen brings every sim in a rabbithole home. This isn't a GTW specific issue and it isn't only affecting children.

When one of my Sims travels, any Sims in the household that are at work/school automatically come home. They don't make the amount of money they should make for the day and it affects performance. This only started after downloading the Seasons expansion.
