Sims leave job/school after another sim travels

If one of my Sims is at work/school, and i take other members of their household to another lot, that Sim comes home from work/school early. This happens every time recently so possibly a glitch/bug. Is this happening to anyone else? I dont use CC or mods.

This has been happening to me for several weeks now and has made the game unplayable. I have no mods installed. It happens with all career types, all ages, all households, etc. The game doesn't crash but has overall become more noticeably laggy as well. I will not resume playing and will not purchase any more packs from EA games until this is fixed. It is unacceptable that EA Games is churning out new content to make more money but totally ignoring the basic elements that make the game functional.

I have the same issue, whenever i want to travel with a sim, if another one is at school or work it returns them early. It's annoying 😑

My sims will return from work autonomously if i have another sim in the household leave the lot or if I have them go to work while on a different lot that isn't home. There is no option to have them go back to work either. This has happened on both ps4 and ps5.

I will have one sim go to work and then the other sim is home. I decide to send the one at home to another lot and when he traveled it shows that the other one is back at home and only received some of their pay since they left early. This has happened 100% of the time this week that I have been playing. I did recently buy the nature expansion pack so I'm not sure if that may be the reason.

That's exactly what my problem was. For me it seemed to be related to changing my career outfit because when I changed it back to the default the problem stopped. Could be that I just lucked out but I thought I would mention it anyway in the off chance it helps someone else.

Does EA Games even care about this issue? This is a MAJOR glitch. I don't understand why it has not been fixed yet. Players here are so gentle and kind. If it were in South Korea, EA Games must have worked on it so fast as gamers here usually take to streets and protest until it's solved.
Given that the expansion packs are so expensive, they NEED to work on it, seriously. 

I have the same problem, without the game crashing. 

• Game is unmodded
• Does not crash
• I'm not playing any active careers 
• It happens with all ages. I've had it happen when I send adults, young adults, and elders to work. It's also happened when sending children and teens to school. 
• No last exception files

Haven't played in a few days because of life and all that. I checked on this to see if there's any updates yet. It's an annoying bug as it limits who can leave the lot and when. This only happened to me once after the July 1st patch, but then it started happening every time. Maybe when the event started? I can't say for sure. Since I saw a lot of people say it cleared up when they finished the event, I took a sim off the lot and can also confirm the sim away at work did not get recalled. Weird bug. Hopefully it doesn't come back with the next event as I enjoy playing with features I haven't previously paid attention to.

I can also confirm that this issue is directly linked to and caused by the Live Event. I finished all the Quests (except for the optional bonus ones) and now my Sims stay at work when other household members travel or go in/out of CAS, etc. Loading screens no longer cause sims to return prematurely from work/school. 

Side note: Chess tables also stopped working for me AGAIN during this Live Event. Now that I've completed the Quests, chess tables are working for me again. 

So I can all but guarantee you that nothing is going to be done about it. They'll just let players struggle until August 5th when the event ends and then the issue will just go away. Until the next Live Event.

EA - please give players a way to opt out of these Events or just stop them all together. Many of us are NOT interested in the events/rewards, yet they are forced on us and then often times they cause us to have to deal with significant game play issues for weeks on end. You really need to make this optional or just stop doing them. They cause too many issues with normal day to day game play for extended periods of time.
