Children are not going to school

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 expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have children in the save and let them try to go to school.
What happens when the bug occurs? The call for school doesn't activate until 8:30 am. The children head to the sidewalk and disappear and then reappear and go back on the home lot.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the children arrive at school and stay there until the school day is over.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After installing Cats and Dogs Expansion. I moved an existing lot from Newcrest to Brindelton Bay.

I looked through the forum and didn't see anything posted about this bug. Sorry if there is already a thread started for this issue. 

The children will go to school if I tick the "go to school button" after they don't go  on the first attempt.

    I have played a full sim week and each child is now going to school and staying there. I am sorry I bothered you but I had played for several weeks with the glitch before posting here. 

    I did have a morning where the boy sim went to school as invisible. He was in a bear phase. 

    I guess you can close this as solved. 

    Thank you for your time!

    @crinrict Not yet. I am hoping to get back in game in a few minutes. I have been working late hours the last couple of days. 

    In game it's the weekend so it will take me some time to get to Monday. I'll try to get there tonight. 

    Thanks for your patience 😳

    Okay,so I played until Monday. The girl child sim (Margaret) went to school with no problems. The boy child, James, had a "sick day". He was not sick nor did we call in or write an excuse for being sick....I have never has a sim take a sick day before.

    Sent you a PM with save information.

    No bothers 🙂

    It's possible that it was an issue that got inadvertently fixed with the latest patch.

    Glad it's fixed

    My kids walk like they are going to school then disappear but sometimes don't actually go to school.  Then, I click the icon in the J tab, and they still won't.  Also, sometimes, they go back to doing things at the house when they are late for school.

    I still have this problem. It also happens with teens going to school and teens going to work. The option to go to school/work doesn't come up until they're late. Then, it takes several attempts for them to fully go to school and remain their until the school day/job hours end.
