Since replicating an issue is the first step in getting a fix for an issue, I'm glad to hear that hurtle has been cleared
@Somber_Cry, your save won't be needed this time but I still recommend reading Crinrict's post I linked to. It's just good information to have.

Hi @Somber_Cry
Although we have been able to reproduce the issue, saves are always welcome. Any individual save will always help us identify the root cause.
So please, don't hesitate to upload it if you are willing!
Happy Simming!

Oh, sorry SimQA_Icarus! I misinterpreted your prior post to mean more saves weren't necessary. Mea Culpa!
@Somber_CryI hope you do still have the affected game saves you can upload.

I'm pretty sure I deleted the saved game from the main menu and just started over completely. So I don't think I have any files of them to upload. Sorry.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get To Work, Outdoor Retreat, Laundry Day Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Fitness Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have an adult female sim stay late at the Sim Lab. This may also occur with an adult male sim and any other job profession added by the Get To Work Expansion Pack.
What happens when the bug occurs? The icon for one of the female child Sims shows her as still being at school when she has actually returned home.
What do you expect to see? The icon for one of my female child Sims shows her as still being at school, whereas she has already returned home. As a result, she never goes to school and there is no option to send her there. Additionally, as she is still shown as being at school, I cannot access her inventory as the option is greyed out.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
Please see the attached screenshot, which best explains my problem.

Just adding a quick report on this too. Sorry if it's the wrong place.
I've had this happen on multiple sims. The "Leave Work Early" option doesn't always work.
Leaving the lot and then using "Leave Work Early" has worked on one occasion. Resetting/debugging the sim and then using "Leave Work Early" has worked twice, failed 3-4 times. If all else fails, I've found that inviting the sim in question to a social event can override being stuck at work. My sims go to a lot of dance parties now.

I often have issues with Sims not showing as home from work even though they are playable and in the house. I find I have to click them and tell them to leave work early for them to toggle as home, but I'm not sure if this penalizes their work performance.

I am also now having this issue, after the most recent patch with Seasons (July 10th patch). Exactly what is described by other users.
