'Go to Work' from a date ditches work

Playing the vanilla game on a Mac (the Farrah Nouvel scenario, continuing beyond the ending), and the game updated to the latest version yesterday.

My character was on an afternoon date that was going well, and it was time for her to go to work (as a musician, she works evenings). I ended the date and had her go to work, but instead of going to work, she went home, and the Career tab said that her next work was in 24 hours. I couldn't find a way to send her to work.

I don't see any recent lastUIException files.

  • Hi dbmcgrew​ 

    can you duplicate the same if you play without scenario ? Was this a one time thing or could you duplicate it ?

  • I haven't tried duplicating it. I've made sure to end the date and go home before my character's next work shift starts. But I can give it a try.

    I'm in free play with this character after completing the scenario. (Multiple careers, multiple fountain of youth to keep her a young adult, trying to get as many skills to 10 and complete as many aspirations/careers as possible.)

    There's currently a few issues with Sims leaving work when they shouldn't. Could just be yet another thing that triggers that (although it's usually the other Sims).

    Would be great if you could test if you can duplicate it again.

    Putting this on review.

    I haven't been able to duplicate the scenario on a date, but I did encounter a similar situation just now. (There is no recent lastException file though.) My sim was at the park when it was time for work. She walked away from the park and then my view teleported back home as usual. Except instead of my sim being at work, there was a notice that she was back home having earned $1.

    If it helps, this was her first day at a new job.

    Possibly related to all the other work leaving issues.

    It might be related to the first day of the work week. My sim has a MTWT work week, and this is the second time she has been at the gym (for her Social Needs) when it was time for work on a Monday, and she just went home rather than going to work. I don't remember it happening on other days.
