Characters Unable to Return Home After Traveling

 when my Sim travels to Takemizu Village and visits a community lot. After that, they return to their vacation home, but the game gets stuck on the loading screen. However, I can still hear background sounds like thunder and rain. When lightning strikes a tree and causes a fire, an event notification appears on the right side of the screen, but the game remains stuck. I waited for over 30 minutes, yet it never loaded.

I tested this further, and it turns out this problem isn’t exclusive to Takemizu Village. It also happens when traveling to mountain or beach destinations. However, a temporary fix for those who still want to travel is to stay in a hotel or a rental home, as those don’t seem to cause the game to freeze. The issue only occurs when returning to a vacation home.

I really hope EA addresses this issue because I love this Sim a lot. Thank you!

  • This happened to me but my sims were staying in a hotel. They were returning from a community lot on their vacation but two sim days had passed during the loading screen and almost all their needs were in red/yellow. Then got the notification that it was time for their vacation to end. When returning home, got stuck on a load screen and had to force my computer off, couldn’t even get my “task manager” up to force quit the game!
