Sims returning from work mid-shift

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I've got one sim who's a caterer, who often returns from work after being there only 1 hour for no reason whatsoever.

I'm also finding that if a sim is at work and another member of the active household travels to a different lot it'll cause the sim at work to return home.

In both cases I can't send them back to work.

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

  • I've had kids come home from school early as well as adult sims from their jobs. Sometimes it happens when they leave for work while I'm off lot, I get teleported back home and the sim is there. Sometimes I go into build and buy mode and when I return to live mode, those that were away, return.
    On a similar note, I have started club gatherings where the members are in the same household, Some members will be at work but when I travel to the club hangout they are there waiting. Leaving work hours too early.

    I am having not the same but a similar issue where a Sim in a household is at home while everyone else is either or both at work and school. When the Sim at home decides to travel off lot, to say, a community lot, it causes the Sim(s) at work and or at school to come home. Not travel with said Sim, they just end up being at home. Have repaired game several times and taken out mods folder.

  • This one's a bit annoying, as I liked to have my Sims travel while other Sims were in school or at work to avoid having them go into 'self care' mode (which generally means 'raid the fridge'). It's not just happening on holidays, and it also occurs when you take a Sim into CAS.

    (I sent the mother to Sixam while the kid was sleeping...kid immediately jumped out of bed. I went back and put the kid to bed and returned to Sixam, only to have the kid awake again. Fine, I thought, do something useful then - build your creativity skill. Got home, and all the leftovers were gone.)
  • Hi all,

    Thank you very much for your input and assistance on this issue.

    However, as Bugs & Issues now have a new home on Answers HQ I am closing this thread.

    Thank you for understanding.
