More rabbit holes?

So hear me out but I kinda want more rabbit holes in the game.

I know most of the time rabbit holes suck when you want to see what your sim is up to especially when you are playing with a single sim. But sometimes when I have multiple sims and I don't know what to do with one sim while I focus on another I really just want them to go away for a while but not necessarily have a job to go to.

So what I want is a rabbit hole system where I can send a sim away for various lengths of time on my own accord sort of like the volunteer option.

Some options would be like: Go to the movies, go shopping, run errands, go watch performance (e.g. concert, play, stand-up or sporting event), go play sport (e.g. golf, softball, baseball, basketball) etc.

For an example of what I would like to see, currently in my game I have a family consisting of a woman and her girlfriend/future wife the girlfriends daughter and her disgruntled, disapproving, retiree parents. I can send the daughter to school and after school extracurriculars, the girlfriend to work, the main woman however, works from home and is my main story point of view, but the parents sometimes I don't know what to do with and I don't always want them around.

Having the self triggered rabbit holes I could send them out of the house. Like the father to play golf or the mother to go shopping or visit friends. I know that there is the volunteer activities from Parenthood and the random outing invitations from City Living but the volunteer options don't really fit some sims personalities like mean sims, and the City Livings invites are just that, invites, so you have to hope one randomly pops up which really isn't helpful. There could also be a "send to lot" options which allows you to send a sim to an in game lot but not follow them.

The options can be of various lengths of time or continues until manually ended, provide buffs, maybe offer chance cards or even some light skill building.

These options would be great for players who like playing with a lot of sims or for players who, like me, play with free will turned off. Too many times I get focused on one sim and the others who don't have something to do are left forgotten to just stand around and do nothing and there are not enough idle, non-skill building task to set them to. But I have already discussed that in a old thread.

Does anyone else find this idea interesting, what other options would you like to see
