EA StaffHi @InfiniteVerve ,
This is indeed something that shouldn't be happening, thank you very much for bringing it to our attention.
In this case, as you reported this to us through EA Help so The Sims team should already be aware, but I'll double check that to make sure.
Which would be the best place to post bug reports in the future? You can find a specific board for that here. 😉
Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply @EA_Mai (and thanks for double checking). How do we (simmers) know when/if this serious (or other serious issues) are fixed? Do you notify via this thread? Asking because this type of thing (and other issues in game- like random sims attacking/ fighting other sims, unprovoked) can be serious for a simmer's mental health (if, say, they were abused as a child... or are being abused)- it can seriously recall those traumatic memories (even though people, who have not had such horrific experiences, may not understand). I'd love to see (genuine/active) resolve to these type of 'bugs'. I was considering purchasing GF, but I am rather hesitant (don't even want to promote it) until this is (confirmed) fixed.
I'd love to actually see a very healthy Sim community (and other gamers community).
EA StaffHi @InfiniteVerve,
Whenever we release an update to the game to address any issues, we also share with you patch notes that summarise all the fixes and changes introduced to the game so everyone is aware. You can find these patch notes on Answers HQ (here), forums.thesims.com (here) and thesims.com (here) short after Origin offers you a game update.
For example, these are the changes April 16th patch introduced: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/The-Sims-4-Patch-notes-on-PC-Mac-April-16th-2019/m-p/7799545
Cheers,
