I’m experiencing a serious bug in The Sims 4 that affects all careers in one of my saves. Whenever my Sim goes to work, they immediately return home as soon as I travel to another lot or world. The game acts as if their workday is over, even if it just started.
The issue happens with every job, including base game ones. I’ve tested it with and without mods, and the bug is still there. I’ve repaired the game through the EA App, deleted all cache files, tried new households, moved the Sim to another lot, switched careers, and even reset the game files entirely.
I’m playing on PC with the latest version of the game installed as of July 2025.
Is there any known fix or update coming for this issue? Thank you for your help.
I'm experiencing a very similar problem. For me my Sims go to work fine when leaving from home but not when traveling from any other lot. In those instances the Sim will travel back to their home lot, the workday will end and I'll get the "what a day of work" notification having earned one simoleon.
I have also tested without mods and a repaired game though not with every career, and though my issue is not as gamebreaking as the OP's it's still limiting my gameplay. Both of our issues are too similar not to be conected which is why I've commented here (appologies if that was incorrect)
I'm also playing on PC with the game fully updated. It should be noted that I only reinstalled the game a few days before the Planting Seeds of Enchantment update so I'm unsure if it's a newly introduced bug or not. I also don't own any expansion pack beyond Cottage Living (sadly)
Many thanks in advance for any fix or advice that you can offer.
Edit: Changing my work outfit back to default seemed to solve the problem for me. Sad that I can't wear my own outfit but happy to be earning a wage again.
