Sim travelling in group by default

When one sim has to travel, the whole household joins them, including all animals. Sim had a date and I only clicked on her and the date, but the entire household joined, including her wife

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

Note by crinrict

This thread is for Sims travelling in groups although you you only selected one. It's not necessarily household members.

Original Report: 

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a sim travel to a community lot from a dorm
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim travels in a group when there is no group selected. I am forced to choose the option "disband group" upon arrival at community lot.
What do you expect to see? My sim to travel alone.

Similar bug: Household Sims automatically follows Sims/Can't send home | EA Forums - 11873651 

This is for household members only that show up on another lot. For those you typically can't send them back home.

    I have had this same issue as well recently, it's as if the entire lot is selected to come with my sim, where they have fame, no fame, whether it's an Infant or Adult. Anytime I travel with a sim that has household members, Including pets, are all following me to any lot, community or home residence. Babies and pets are stuck in hold or a crib will appear somewhere on the lot if it's an infant. 

    (Ex. Sim 1 went to work at the film studio and she has a pet and an infant at home. When arriving to work the pet was equipped to hold. During work, she kept trying to care for an infant I couldn't find, and as autonomy was on she was constantly looking to care for the infant. I then found the infant in between a fenced off area as if it were randomly placed anywhere on the lot.) 

    It is especially difficult to manage for sims with households of 2 or more, household member follow the selected sims to High School, Work, Dates, Community Events, and Private Events. 

    Sending them home should not be the solution, this bug is definitely overwhelming so I do hope it can be resolved!

  • Since the most recent update I've had this costant problem that when traveling with one sim, the whole household automatically travels with him even if I didn't select them. I saw online that many other people are also having this kind of problem because of the new update. Can this be fixed?

    I do have mods and have turned them off and still the same issues. They join right away. I can send the sims home, but not the dogs. 

  • Could you please provide the following information

    • Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
    • Do they travel with you right away or join with a delay ?
    • Can you send them home and if so, do they stay home ?
