ANSWERS

I think you have to get on the game at the right time, then the suitcase icon above the sim locater will be flashing, and you can choose that and then send the sim to work. It's probably easier after you get more jobs for the sim, then they can go in at different times.

I have the same problem... I have 14 Sims, and just one of them won't go to work. I have tried changing career, but still the briefcase does not flash when it is the correct time to go to work. I have made sure all needs are met and that it is the correct time but it does nothing. The other 13 Sims all go to work as normal. Anyone managed to solve this?

I've this problem come up time and time again nothing ever worked I tried every thing eventually I just gave up and started over with a new family because it's a problem with the sim, doesnt matter if you change jobs or move them from house to house. Then I got this problem again about 2 weeks ago after again trying all the possibilities this morning I had a thought about uniforms then I tried putting my sim in a uniform then making them go to work. That worked then I realized that they always have to go in uniform or they won't go. They usually change automatically so alot of people don't think of this but if they for some reason don't change then they don't go so you have to do it for them. Hope this helps for everyone else that has this problem

This worked for me. If it's time for them to go to work but it the briefcase isn't blinking go to settings- turn you're wifi off-double click the home button-hold down the sims game to minimize it- go back to settings- change the year to one year back (ex. 2012 to 2011) turn you're wifi back on and go back to the game

It should tell you to send them to work. Go ahead and do it. Then follow the steps again to change the year back to the current year. When you go back to the game it should say you're sims have finished working and, since it's most likely still time for them to work, it'll say to send them to work. They're now back on track

Note*** if you're sims aren't working make sure they're sleeping or planting. Changing the times could lower their needs (going from 2011 to 2012 would be like ignoring them for a year) and almost kill them.

I st has this same problem. I'm at level 7 and I could get her to do everything but "go to work". Finally, I went to the town, went to the building, and pulled up the Career information. I clicked the briefcase for her in that area and it sent her to work. I don't know why it wouldn't work using the Sim Tracker but it worked from the work location.

Hi there.... where do I find the uniform?

Added 15th Aug 2012, ID #176148, by Guest

I have never found a uniform - besides the fireman's outfit. I've had this happen to me - got stuck because I used the "date forward" money cheat, and at some point screwed up enough to have it list 350 hours till the stork arrived - which means 14.5 days till I could add a new sim to the game - and then even though all my sims had jobs, and it was time for them to go to work, I couldn't get them to go to work, either with the job icon, or heading to the business and clicking on the sim from there - nothing worked at all. My advice - beware of how cheating can affect jobs and babies.

I have the same problem with this situation before... Actually, when I changed date & time, the suitcase had stopped flashed and my sims couldn't go to work. I intended to stop the game and not play anymore. Then, the game has updated to the new verson & my problem has solved, all my sims can work again, so my advice is not cheating about time & just wait! Hope it may help!

To make you're sim go to work, you set the time back to 2 minutes before you're sim has to go to work, then a message will come up and it will say you're sim gas to go to work

Go to Settings>General>Time and Date>set time to 15 minutes prior to your sims start time.... Example 9:45am then exit settings and go to play.
Select sim work status then click on the briefcase which is now highlighted. Your sim will then automatically go to work!

After getting the swimming update it became really dodgy. Since like mon 4th feb, only 3 of 14 adult sims could go work and the kid can still go to school. I don't know if it's a flaw in the game system or if I'm supposed to do the whole new job/satisfy needs coz I always change the time and this time it didn't work. So I don't think it's late or anything. I'm waiting for the next update and hopefully things are solved.

You can't send your sim to work when you've used too many cheats or get money from you're mail this happened on my last level and I had to start it all over again

If you go the sim tracker then click on the suit case it will tell you when they will go to work. If you don't want to wait that long change time on electronic device

When you get a job it tells you what time you work and how much time you have been there. If you are playing at the time it starts, click the Icon that may come up or click on town and the place where you work and it says 'go to work' sometimes, it says go to work any way, but other times it may not. Sorry if I couldn't help.

Thanks

If my sim doesn't go to work at the right time, what will happen?

Added 12th Apr 2013, ID #273082, by Guest

Hi, I'm level 23 and all of my sims wont go to work apart from 2. I think it's because I used a money cheat so I don't know if anyone else used that one...? (the cheat doesnt work on the update). I don't recommend deleting your sim because although you can go to work, you have to rebuild all their relationships and re- buy any swim suits. If you do want to delete them and you have kids in your family then you can only delete 1 parent per family because even when your newly made sim is re-married and moved in kids can't live alone with step- parents. That was kinda complicated but hope it helped

Use the time thing, set your time to the EXACT time the sim's job starts and it will say a amount of sims can go to work.
