Visitors Leave Community Lots Immediately

On community lots, visitors keep leaving almost immediately. Some Sims spawn near the lot and just stand on the side of the road scrolling on their phones, then leave shortly after. Others actually enter the lot, walk into a room, sometimes do a single interaction, and then instantly leave again often as a group, like they’re constantly switching “turns.”

A lot of them have thought bubbles showing they need sleep, while others just get the hand icon indicating they’re leaving. I’ve even seen Sims order drinks at the bar and then leave before the bartender finishes making them. When this keeps happening, the same Sims start cycling in and out of the lot repeatedly.

In the screenshot I shared, the marked Sims are all leaving at the same time, immediately after just entering the lot, with icons above their heads.

I can’t understand why Sims are deciding to leave so aggressively and I’m pretty certain this is unintentional behavior and a bug, not something on my end as I’ve repaired my game files multiple times and I’m not using any mods or CC.

Is anyone else still experiencing this, or has EA ever acknowledged this behavior?

    So, this has been happening to me for a while, maybe aggravated by July update (Fairies) but not sure.

    When you invite a sim (not a household member and not organizing an event) from phone, portrait, map, invite to current lot... to a Bar, Nightclub or Lounge, the sim will arrive and will stay for a little but then they will suddently leave, I tested for employed and unemployed sims, so it's not a time conflict. 

    No mods or alterations.

    This bug happens when you invite a sim to the current lot (not a household member) or go with them using map, mobile... to someplace. Its easy to replicate, go with your sim to a bar, invite someone to current lot (not organizing an event, just inviting). The invited sim will come and stay for a little and then, they'll leave the place. 

    When you organize a date or something through the event planner menu, it works fine. In fact the workaround I'm using is organize a friendly hangout through that menu and not directly, which is kind of annoying

    Ok, so I've been doing more testing and turns out this bug only affect Bars, Nightclubs and Lounges.

    When you invite a sim to current lot or use the phone or map to travel with (not a household member or a scheduled event) and it's one of the mentioned ones, the invited sim will leave shortly. 

    I just updated the post.

    please contact a CM for this. It wasn't me that merged this. If something gets merged later on, it's usually EA that wanted it merged.
