Sims leave job/school after another sim travels

I'm also having this bug in every single save file on my game and it's making it borderline unplayable. I can't stay on my home lot all day every day just because some Sims are at work/school. It kills their work performance when they leave early.

i'm also having the same issue

hi i am now having this issue any fixes?

This happened a couple years back and was a bug that was fixed, but now it's happening to me again!! Making the game unplayable!!!

The exact same thing happens to me. Every time a Sim travels and another one is away, whether at work or school, they come back out of nowhere and their performance drops. It's frustrating.

This is so annoying! I have 4 teens and doing the Legacy challenge, when they're at school, it's the only time I have time to get "jobs" done and focus on the parents. UGH!

Can confirm finishing the Nature event fixed this for me. Additional info: I have NOT claimed all the rewards - I was leaving the simoleons payout for one of my poorer households. Furthermore I haven't  done many of the optional goals and so didn't have enough EXP to claim a couple of the rewards.

I am having the same issue. I had no issues with my sims going to work until this nature challenge. It's very frustrating because it wrecks job performance and household income. I can not advance my active career sims because I can't risk the non active career sim losing money. I'll be glad when it's August 5th

I was responding to another user who asked where they could find the mod.  I was not responding to you.  We are all here because - we have been afflicted with this bug.  This mod has worked for some.  I am sorry it hasn't worked for you.  The solution is of course a fix for the actual game. But, if the mod works - it is beyond helpful - until a real solution is found.

And the mod worked in my game.  I right clicked through all the quests - wiithout my sim having to do anything.  Once the quests were all achieved.  I saved the game.  And so far, everything is back to normal.  Eveyrone has stayed at work or school respectively.

How is that meant to fix anything? I already have the mod and it's updated, yet I'm still experiencing the bug.

I've been experiencing this very same issue since the latest update. Whenever my Sims leave the lot, when they come back, whatever Sims were at school or work end up leaving early. I still can't see if there's a way to fix this.

In google type weerbesu ui mod 

I have two teenagers. When they go to school and I travel to another lot with a different sim, they immediately return home from school as soon as that sim loads into the new lot.

Im also experiencing the same issue , when one sim travel to another lot , everyone else work/school day ends 

crinrict​  I'm having this issue in sims 4 and this is my LastException files' content:

Me too, started today! 7/18

I am also experiencing this. I do not have any mods in my game. This issue has been happening in my game for a while. My sim is a chef who was at work and my other sim was in a park. Upon leaving the park, my other sim left her work (being a chef) after only an hour since its beginning. It is incredibly annoying that I cannot travel to other lots while one of my sims is at work.  

I’m also having this issue. I have a family of 4, the two kids went to school, the mom went to work and it was the dad’s day off. I had the dad go to a coffee shop after the maid left. Not only did the kids come home from school early, but the mom came home from work early (with lowered performance and no option to return for all). Also when I had the dad return to the lot, they were charged for maid service a second time. 

I'm having the same problem as well.

I don't use any mods or cc, the game doesn't crash, I don't have any packs except for a few of the kits that were given for free, I don't have children in the household so it only happens for young adults/ adults from what I have seen.

After I upvoted this one couple days ago, I decided to backup all of my saves, bssically start fresh without mods at all, with a new game and a fresh install in different directory and this annoying bug still happens somehow.

Do everybody else outside this page doesn't have this bugs or encountered the same problem? Because this is annoying for someone like me who plays multiple sims on one household that have multiple stories behind them that just want to travel then come back expecting other sim still at work/school (but instead they are suddenly back at home).

For example, i have a guy who works at 3PM and woman who works at 7AM then 3 teenage highschoolers, when I decided to join them to school, the woman would instantly home from work when I switched to the teenage boys. Then when the teenage boys are going home, the man would be instantly back from work. Ain't that frustrating?

How do you get UI cheats? And I finished the event for the week and it was still happening 

Finish the event in a different save. It'll solve the problem!

Having this issue too…. Joined teen sim at school and got notification that parents went to work. Teen comes home from school and parents are there… not at work. I loaded into game this morning and got a notification for teen at school (I didn’t join them as turned it off!) and parent at work saying if they miss school/work it will go against performance…  I  can cancel this as can say no, don’t want them to leave. I think this has started since the nature event but can’t be sure as teen has only just aged up and I only really travel with sims out of work time. It’s driving me insane! 

Hi, I experience the same problem. I saw at another forum that if you complete te event that is currently happening as much as currently is possible, it should be solved. So you can make another save file and play the event for like 30 minutes and the problem should be fixed for now. Havent tried it yet, but another player could confirm is. Hope it helped!
