Always late for work

[crinrict]

Without switching families in between ?

I only see it if I play another family for a while.

Loading/reloading isn't an issue for me.

Did you try repairing the game ?

How can I repair the game crinrict? Does EA read these questions so they can make an update so these bugs go away?

[crinrict]

Right click on the game in Origin and choose repair game.

They do read here but if and when a bug gets fixed is up to them. It depends on various factors such as severity of the bug and users affected.

It's always a good idea to hit the me too button on the first post so they see if something is widespread.

Weighing in on this issue.

This happens any time I load a game or switch households. It doesn't happen if I switch control between Sims in the active household.

It's really annoying because very often my Sims will be most of the way through their work day when I've switched and get a bad performance rating for the day as a result of this bug.

Same issue here. Just loaded in after having to save and quit yesterday while half the family was at work. Three sims that should be working are standing outside the house, the two who don't have work today are inside where they last were. Didn't play other families in between. The three who should be working don't even get the button 'send to work' nor realize they should be at work, so that's them playing hooky without wanting to. I wish the 'send to work' button was always there, and not relying on the game's perception, since clearly the game's perception is hugely flawed.

I have about 5 or 6 different household/families in my game and regularly switch between them during game play. However, what has been happening is that every single time I start up my game or switch households the sims (no matter where they were or what they were doing previously) end up in front of their house. Normally i would just deal with it however it has been messing up my game play. They sims get very unhappy (due to their needs not being met) and they are always missing work which has made my sims lose their job. Also if two sims from two of my different household are with each other previously either building a friendship or relationship and then I turn my game off and come back to it the data is normally lost. i've been searching the internet for hours trying to find a fix but every thread I have found has absolutely no fix! Please help its because very difficult to deal with!

Hi @imsuuchadreamer

I've merged your post with existing report.

It's by design that Sims stay outside your house if you play rotationally. The work thing is a bug (this thread). The need has also been reported.

Also relationship culling on acquaintances is also by design if you play rotationally. The decay being very fast now is something the QA is aware of. Here's some more info to that: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/892376/relationship-culling-has-led-to-baby-neglect

Just wanted to say this work bug seems to be fixed as of 15 June patch.  I've now tested in 2 different files, with and without mods, and the sims correctly go back to work or school if that is where they were when you saved and exited.  Not tried rotationally 'cause I don't really play that way.

[crinrict]

Rotationally is what the issue is and I'm pretty sure it's still happening for me but I'll double check

[crinrict]

I just tested and it was really the case that my Sim was still at work after switching.

I didn't play too long though with the other household
