[FIXED] If I save and exit while sleeping sims are awake upon reopen [ Edited ]

[smittenkitten727]

As the title states. I always save and exit while everyone in my household is asleep and upon reopening the game one or both of my adults will be standing next to the bed awake and will climb back into bed and sleep when I unpause it. Strangely this has never happened with my child sim though.

This should be fixed.

Please post if you still see this

I encountered something odd.  If I save the game while a Sim is sleep in his/her bed,  when I return and  load the game my Sim will be out of bed as if I never sent him/her there. It's happened with other tasks too, such as when using the shower. You save the game in the shower and when you load the game the Sim isn't in there anymore.

I had this happen with Save As followed by Exit. (In case the sequence helps.) It's only happened the one time that I can recall.

I have just had a similar issue with the exception that I saved and exited when 2 of my sims were at work/school. When I reloaded the game, they were physically present in the house, but their avatars at the bottom of the screen were saying that they were still at school/work. Therefore, I could not control them, could not open the needs panel etc.

I resolved this by clicking on their avatars and choosing the "finish early" option.

@chrolka Wonder if that is the actual cause of the work icon bug. That has it's own thread here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Common-Sims-Icons-staying-grey-after-coming-back-fro...

Maybe you could add that info there.

I believe this to be by design

Is this still happening to anyone ?

This is still happening, it happened to me today. I left all 3 of my sims in bed. I paused the game, saved, and saved again with exit. I log back in, they are standing by the beds, they do not have full energy and need to be put back to bed. I have never had them crawl back into bed on their own, probably because the bed icon is no longer in the task list when I log back in.
