Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The 'Nature's calling' patch seems to be the problem.
I've attempt to localise where the problem of this patch was. These are my conclusions.
It appears that the "Nature's calling" event while ACTIVE (specifically for me it was the 2nd or 3rd mission I think - the one to go to a park and listen to the wind) causes the problem. That meaning that while I ACTIVATED but not carried it out, sims would return from their jobs early whenever I'd travel to any lot or even return home from another lot.
Completing the mission and NOT taking another one has looked to fix the problem all together.
According to lastexpection the error resides within the 'Live Event UI dialog system'.
