RESOLVED - Sims 2 Legacy - Vacation bug

I've seen other people post about this as well, but I've run into a problem where my game gets stuck on the loading screen for the resort. It occasionally has the window pop up in the bottom right corner, showing that actions are happening, and my sim is going around doing stuff, but I can't see it or interact with it, and I can't even cut off the vacation because it just directs me back to the resort.

Has anyone found a way to fix this or should I make a new Sim and cut my losses? I'd really like to avoid doing that if I can. Thanks!

    Yes! Here's a step-by-step guide if your sim is stuck on vacation!

    First, if you haven't done so already, you need to force quit and reload the game.

    Then: Open the neighbourhood that your sim is originally from (in my case, Belladonna Cove)

    Along the top bar, select the Vacation button, "Vacation Destination Chooser."

    Click on the destination that your sim is currently stuck on to preview the neighbourhood.

    Finally, on the right side of the pop up, there will be a bin icon to "Delete neighbourhood."

    Once you've done that, select the lot that your sim lives on, and remove the "going on a trip" action that they will be taking. That's how I sorted it, and I've not had a problem since doing so!

  • I deleted the vacation destination, and got my sims home no problem. But if you do this they still age for the time that they were sent on vacation. Luckily had been using the elixir reliably.

    I only just bought the game and installed it less than a week ago, so it sounds like I should have had a patched version to begin with. Still got the glitch.

    After the new patch you can go to resorts, but as soon as I visit a community lot and come back the problem still persists does anyone know when they will patch again?

    The only problem is that I have to delete my family after hours of gameplay it's kinda upsetting

    I also have another problem, everytime I visit a community lot with a car when they come back the sims freezes at the start of the road sitting in the air, wich is fun to see but the game deleted my teenage son and I can't find him anywhere

    Hello thanks for the solution as unfortunately I have the same problem. But I don't want to delete my vacation neighbourhood as I have built super nice vacation houses on it, how do I save them? Thanks in advance!
