Household Sims automatically follows Sims/Can't send home

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!

Original Title: Household Sims automatically follows Sims after short while

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

  • This just started today after I did the most recent update through the EA app (I play on PC) and idk if anyone else is having the same issue.

     

    if I tell one sim in my household to travel anywhere even going to high school the entire fam goes with them and if there's an event they also all tag along even though they shouldn't be there example prom, only the teen should be going and yet the entire household shows up to the hs prom and I can't force them to go home (not without ending the event which who wants to do that!?) I literally played a few days ago and didn't have this issue but I update the game and boom it appears. 

    I do have mods but I removed them to check and see if any of them were the cause and the issue still persisted

    Hi Y'all, 

    I have an issue with the "Ask to Create a Date" function that came with the Lovestruck Expansion Pack. I have a Sim couple with an infant. After selecting the "Ask to Create a Date" in the pie menu, the Start an Event UI appeared. I selected the Romantic Date option and ONLY selected my two adult sims to go on the date. Once their date loaded at the specified location, their infant was there with them. Since the infant was attending the date, I could not send them home or to daycare until I cancelled the event. This happened to me twice, another time through planning the Romantic Date through the calendar. As you can imagine, their dates were unsuccessful since I had to cancel them early. Also, their infant was not too happy to be on those dates... 

    Any guidance or fix to this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    I am having this problem. My sim’s father was on a date with him and his boyfriend… It’s interesting you mentioned Windenburg because that is where my sims went.

    I had the same issue with create a date. The household automatically followed the selected teen on his date and could not be send home unless the date was canceled. I don't have mods installed. This bug doesn’t happen with all dates though, for me at least.
