I also had this bug since island living patch. And as you said it turns out to be a bugged trait. So I assume the origin of the trait is when it says "toddler is still at daycare" while they are at home. This has never been fixed since the release of toddlers.

This happens to me every save I'm in for at least one or two of the played household members and that cheat helps everytime. EA really has to step up cus that is extra annoying to have to remember to do that when it arises, they still haven't fixed it in their recent content patch.

Re: Sim does not take care of self when other sim goes out.

Hello! 

I am having the same issue with needs not being filled for a Sim, although the 'lightning' option thing does not appear on the Sim (that is staying at home) at all - it's gone. I have tried removing CC and Mods but the problem still persists. 

1. Needs are not filled - hunger, fun, energy tends to get extremely low.
2. The 'lightning' option button is gone and I can not bring the Sim to the lot I'm currently playing at, I would have to invite them over by phone for it to work. 

3. I think it is mostly kids (child Sims) that is affected.

 

Does anyone have a solution to this? Or anyone that has the same problem as me? I have included a screenshot of the problem.

Kind regards,

Forgot about this bug when I read the Patch Notes. Dang.

 

Thanks for pinning my post about the workaround though, @crinrict !

I'm having a weird problem with this function. The options menu that appears when you click on a Sim when the Sim is not on the lot does not appear. I'll add a picture.

 

This happens, at first, only with this Sim specifically. I use mods, but I already tested the game without the mods and the problem persists.

Same issue here. The away actions icon is missing on sims. The off-lot sims also do not take care of their needs. There is no icon to control off-lot behavior. It is not 100% with all sims at all times but I don't see a pattern.
