When you don't pause your save. . .

There was a big fire in the outdoor grill that stressed my Sims that I for some reason did not notice, so things happens when you look away.

Well I'm talking about when you pause, and save and Exit the game completely.

I came back the next day and they were not where I had the paused the game at (which was in bed)

Were they standing up next to the bed? That is normal, that’s how things load in the game and it usually has them get back in bed when you unpause.

If they were doing other things completely like grilling (usual suspect), then I wonder did you enter any other lots in between loads, even just for a quick edit? That can reset them, so to speak.
