[NEEDS SAVES] Sims get 'missed parents' call when still living with parents

[ Edited ]
★ Guide

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.94.147.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? about half
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a YA or Teen sim living with their parents travel to another lot without their parents.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim traveling by themselves will get the "We've missed you, honey. When are you going to come visit?" call from their parent even though they are still living with their parents, they're just out! If you answer "not right now," the teen/YA sim will get a sad moodlet from "missing parents" even though they are waiting at home!
What do you expect to see? Not to get this call while the parents are in the same household, regardless of whether we happen to be on a different lot.
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? No

My sim will also get the "try for baby" call from their parents when traveling without them. This is ridiculous. These calls should be programmed based on whether the sims are living in the same household, not whether or not they are currently on a different lot.

I just had this problem with my child sim and thought it came with the infant update. Either way, here are some screenshots of when I say I'll visit and then return home

Parent asks me to visit him when I live with him

★★ Novice

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 is your current game version number? 1.79.25 I think
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All besides Horse Ranch, Grunge Revival, and Book Nook.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure, just travel somewhere with a teen sim and wait and see if it happens maybe?
What happens when the bug occurs? Father sends request to teen sim to 'visit them sometime' despite teen sim living with them. Happened while visiting the pier with teen.
What do you expect to see? I expect not to be invited to visit someone I live with.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Unsure if anyone else has had this bug, or if it even is a bug, didn't come up when I searched it on the compiled list. It's not game-breaking or even annoying, but in case it was not intended, I just wanted to let the devs know!

[HSY] Parents call to ask teens to visit at own home

Champion

Product: The Sims 4

Platform: Xbox Series X 

Which language are you playing the game in? English

How often does the bug occur? Occasionally 10% - 49%

What is your current game version number? 1.81.2.2300

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?

All content installed except for Vampires and Bust the Dust.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It happens when the teen is travelling to another lot, or at an event.

What happens when the bug occurs?  The parent calls to complain the teen never visits, although they live together and have breakfast together every morning.

What do you expect to see? I don't expect these calls for a household member.

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console never used.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes

Please describe the patch or change you made:

Installing High School Years.

 

This happens when my teen is in the middle of a cheerleading routine at sports day or while travelling to a different lot with friends. Her dad calls to complain she never visits. I thought at first that it was just a random call and dismissed it but when she went home that night she got the notification that her dad was glad she'd actually visited him. But she didn't, she just went home. (images attached). It's continued to happen randomly.

I had it with someone completely unrelated to my sim. I don't understand how.
