Household Sims automatically follows Sims after short while

When I travel with my one Sim to the café lot “South Square Coffee” in Windenburg, another Sim from the household follows after a certain time, even though I have not instructed them to come with me. I am on the current game version and have removed my mods, emptied my cache and repaired the game. Unfortunately, they don't work.

I don't know if it's because of this cafe lot type, but it keeps happening there.

UPDATE (02/14/2025):
The last one happened on another property in Windenburg lot "Coorinberg Cottage". Unfortunately, I don't know whether it's because of Windenburg or whether it's general. I also had it once in Evergreen Harbor at the community lot “The Quarry Building”, but that was a long time ago.

UPDATE (03/08/2025):
It also happened in the new world “Nordhaven” at the premade tattoo studio small business. I'm starting to get the feeling that it's a general bug!

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title as I never find it when looking for it.

    Ok! It takes Maxis a long time to look at the bug report and then it says “Under Investigation”? But I have the feeling you don't know. 😅
    I hope they see it 🙏

    Seems no one else had this issue so far. 

    All up to EA now.

    Somewhere there are players who have such a flaw - I have hopes! 🤣

  • I had the same issue tonight. I was able to finally break the cycle by waiting for one of the sims to be "at home" and switched control to that sim. My poor toddler kept getting sent to daycare every three seconds.

    I do use custom content, but no mods.

    There's been two similar reports but sadly no one reposted here :(

  • Quoting from a similar thread: Household Sims automatically follows Sims after short while | EA Forums - 11873651 

    I had 2 of my Sims visit the pottery studio while their dad was at work. When he got off work, he just showed up at the studio instead of going home. When I was ready for everyone to leave, they kept coming back in like 3 seconds. Even after it would show they had left the world and were back home, they would pop back up on the street. I exited the game and repaired, I tried resetting my Sims, but the only way I was able to get them all home was to continually hit the home button until they all made it out of the street. I'm glad they made it home, but also really don't want that to happen again. Anyone else deal with this issue or have a fix? (I have no mods, just base game and expansions)
