Sims 4 (PC) - Parents won't work full work day when I go into Build mode?

Has anyone else had this issue? I've had multi-Sim households before, and this is the first time I've noticed this happening. This is also the first time I've played a multi-Sim household with the new expansion City Living installed (this might be the problem).

The young adult son lives at home and takes care of the apartment, while his son goes to his school and his parents both work at different jobs. When Mom and Dad are at work, I've gone into Build/Buy mode to place something in the apartment. While I'm in that mode, I'll get a message that the Dad has had a great day at work and brought home x amount of money, even though it's a few hours before the end of the day. And now I've had it happen to BOTH parents! They're both primed for promotion, so this is frustrating, because they're not getting their overdue promotions, and the father is an Ambitious Sim who is now tense because he isn't promoted, lol. This also happened once when I went into Manage Worlds and back into the household.

Is this just now a City Living problem we have to put up with until they patch it, or is there something I can do to fix it now? Thanks!
