Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Dogs & Cats, City Living, Get to Work, Get Together, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Spooky Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have any single Sim invite another on a date, or to hang out at a bar or lounge. This doesn't happen every time, but often enough that it's become a pain when trying to level up in romance or charisma. Always seems to happen with the same Sim, i.e. the one being invited.
What happens when the bug occurs? Both Sims appear in front of the venue, then the invited one disappears and if you try to invite them to join you, it says they're busy. The inviting Sim can't see them, or do any group interactions such as order them a drink or dance with them.
What do you expect to see? Both Sims should appear in front of the venue and be able to interact.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I think this began after the Spooky Stuff installation, but am not sure. The first time it happened I thought the Sim was ghosting my girl, but it's happened twice since with different Sims although, again, it doesn't happen every time. But once it happens, my Sim can't go anywhere with the disappearing Sim because they disappear as soon as they arrive at a venue.

Yes, but all the characters that do this--three so far--are NPCs and I'm guessing they're off to work like everyone here suggested.

Does it always happen with the same Sim? Because that's what happens with mine. Only one Sim disappears every time they're asked out.

Hi @WildwingSuz
as @simvasion pointed out, there's NPCs with weird work shifts (some work 24h).
Do you only get this with one Sim or also with others ? And as asked above, do you know what job the other Sim has ?
Good Luck

Try inviting the sim to a different world than the one they work in and see if that works. That tends to work for me, a sim that for example works in Oasis Springs will not disappear if they are invited to a restaurant in San Myshuno.
