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?

Hi, I know this has been reported before but the previous thread was locked and tagged fixed. I'm having this bug again :(
I reloaded a save and the child returned from school at 11AM. I edited someone in CAS and any children will return from school early. Basically any loading screen.
I have everything except Lovestruck, I also tested it with mods removed.

Hi potatmom
Sims coming home early is usually a symptom with several causes so it's something that can come back any time.
Is it just the children coming home or other household members too ? Any club gatherings going on ?
Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?
- Delete the ones you have
- Trigger the error again
- Check if new ones are created
- If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.

Okay, I finally got around to trying to reproduce the bug/glitch, but I did not get any lastException when it happens. Same case with the earlier time when I posted this thread, no LE.
Basically, big sister goes to school, little brother ages up to a child and I used a dresser to Plan Outfit for the brother. The cas.fulleditmode cheat was active. When I was finished with planning brother's outfit, sister was out of school at 9AM.
Are there other ways to root out the cause?

Does it happen if you don't use plan outfit ?

This has now happened to me three times in the last 24 hours since I downloaded the new update. I will send the sim to school or work, and then save and exit the game. When I go log back into the game and resume my session, which is usually the next day, my Sim is forced to go home in the middle of work and school. Their performance also drops, they are not paid for the full day, and there is no option for them to return to work or school. It just says, school or work will happen the next day. This has lead my sim to go from an A student to a C student, and my other sim almost received a demotion from work. This has never happened before, just started happening 1-2 days ago.

So this bug has been inconsistent with me lol. I've been trying to reproduce it and it never happened again until today. I freshly launched the game after deleting localthumbcache as I usually do before playing. Loaded save, and child immediately returns from school at 8:15AM. Responsibility character value took a hit too.
This child lives in an apartment (specifically the 888 Spire Apartments) and the one who returned after Plan Outfit was also living in apartment (Hakim House). Other non-apartment children don't seem to have this issue. Might not be a cause but that's the common link I can think of.

Could you please provide the following information
- Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do
- At which point does your game crash to the desktop ?
- Are you playing any active work days/high school ?
- Does it affect all age groups ?

What other members do you have in the household ? Is the child the only one this happens ?

The (Hakim House) child has a teen sister, also affected by this bug. Basically every child currently in school will return as if I told them to "Leave Early".
