Update 03-11-2022 to account for the believingly highly improbable case where on the off off chance ownable cars can't get into the driveway, in which case they will now be left in the void to find their way back on their own (which they should, eventually) regardless of the fact that their owner has already teleported home. Thanks to friendlyteacakes for bringing up the problem where ownable cars will be gone if sims insist on driving to work despite being on maternity leave (which I've tried but not been able to reproduce) that has lead to this update (which I've not been able to test since ownable cars prove to be very resilient and even teleport through the wall of sims I put in their way, but might as well, right?).

Update 01-16-2022 to make compatible with TwoJeffs' Bring Hobby Friend From Work Fix. The fix is now included in this mod (so you only need this one) and please don't forget to give a lot of love to the original mod as well. Thanks to Meduza for pointing out the conflicts and thoughtful explaining of things and generally being super helpful and patient and encouraging.

I love tiny lots, but the thing about tiny residential lots that are the narrowest possible is that no helicopter can't park in front of none of them. Which is not good, not to mention quite terrible, because after having to be mindfully told to walk to work, sims with certain high-level jobs then won't be able to return home and will be stuck in some purgatorial limbo where their motives and mood and aspiration meter will continue to drop and they can age but cannot get older or die or live and will eternally suffer forever and ever for eternity, all the while the game tries and fails to place the godforsaken helicopter and lags miserably...

This mod makes it so that that is not the case and the poor stuck sim will just materialize next to the mailbox after some 50 minutes of minimal suffering.

Compatible with Apartment Life and up. Best not to put in if the game was saved during the process of lagging (I always quit without saving given the slightest sign of anything weird so I can't exactly say what would happen though I'm pretty sure it would error due to there not being enough space in the stack) but should otherwise be fine to just pop this in even if sims are saved while still At Work, although you could make sure they're not, just on the off chance.

Some technical info:
Overrides 3 BHAVs in group 0x7F8F4EB6
Interaction - At Work 0x0000200E
Sub - Return to World 0x00002016
Sub - Return to World - Failsafe 0x00002063

Again, this mod is COMPATIBLE WITH APARTMENT LIFE AND UP as the first BHAV got updated a lot over the years. (AL to allow for apartment residents and roommates, BV for bigfoots, Pets for pets, OFB for home business, NL for ownable cars and groups.) From what I can gather, the failsafe was there as it is and always has been since the base game. It's just that every version of the other 2 BHAVs has, in their own separate ways, made it so that it's never used.
