Hi everyone!
I'm facing a weird behavior, I'm playing The Sims 4 with the "Get to Work" expansion. Everything was nice, I was following my sim at work every time.
Then, one of those time, I decided to not follow her for a day and let her work by her own. After that decision, every time when it's time to go to work, the pop up message to follow the sims does not show up and I cannot follow my sim anymore.
I have the option to send her manually, by clicking on the JOB menu and send to work, but them I cannot follow her and can't control on the hospital. With that, I cannot advance in the game, since I cannot do the actions needed for a promotion.
Can someone help me here? Thanks a bunch!!!

Don't worry @kreatora , you're trying to help me a lot in here, I really appreciate it!
And I've finally discovered what happened!!!!
You can't follow your sim on work UNDER A HOLIDAY! Sample: It was Christmas and I was not able to folllow the sim. It passed two days and started the new years, where the job started again I was not able to follow! Also, there was a gigantic coincidence on my tests which both families were on holidays, so that's why you can't follow the sim!
I've played a little longer and now it's working perfectly fine!
Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Try to fix the game in Origin.
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "repair game" You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Go to Documents/ Electronic Arts/The Sims4 folder. Find and delete localthumbcache.package file. Delete also all folders with the word "cache" in the name.
The game will recreate it but without saved errors.
If you have any mods or CC move the mods folder to the desktop. I don't think this problem is related to mods or CC but if you have them, do it just in case

Hey @kreatora , thanks for the help, but the issue persists.
I've repaired TS4 installation, cleared the cache, I still cannot follow my sim at work.
Any other ideas guys? Thanks a lot!

If you did everything exactly as I wrote above then in a situation where repairing the game does not help, the only option is to reinstall the game. Reinstalling the game only applies to files in the installation folder and does not touch your saves folder or library but to be on the safe side, move the Saves and Tray folders to the desktop.
It looks a bit like breaking the game by an outdated mod but this is strange because after deleting all the old files and in the clean game without mods in the new save you still had this error.
