Sims hone skills for wrong age group when active Sim away

Hi bond_with_bees 

for completions sake could you please add tags for mod usage (if you use any or not) and your platform. 

Thank you.

Please always provide this information so not to delay a bug report getting to Maxis. You can find more info about the adding thread tags to your post here: General Information About The Bug Reports Forum | EA Forums - 4965007 

I have this problem too. It happens when they're left at home with another adult (so not technically at daycare). When they're stuck like that, their needs don't get taken care of. It's particularly annoying when a parent has an active career because I have to leave them like that for several hours, and their needs are tanked when my sim gets home.

batsandbabydolls​ FYI I did find a workaround for this, if you select the infant and "Bring Here", they'll show up on the lot, and then you can "Send Home" as a self-interaction. When you send them home this way, they'll Care for Self. 

I wonder if this specifically happens if the home lot has wellness equipment (i.e. yoga mats/meditation stools) and/or if the caretaker has high wellness skill. 

This workaround doesn't work for active careers, unfortunately. You can't bring other sims to the career lot.
