EA please don't remove this - Nraas Igazor need mod help, traveler mod, PC, crashes game

This isn't the 1.69 install that had been downpatched to 1.67 by way of System Restore that had been plaguing you much earlier? In other words, this is a new install (or on a different computer) so all that past stuff is not relevant? Just want to make sure first.

Is the crash during startup or does it happen in-game when you try to travel your sims?

What happens in a test run of Traveler, Overwatch, and ErrorTrap only, same thing or something different? Are you clearing your scriptCache,package file upon each addition or removal of a mod from Mods\Packages?

And is it only for one saved game where this happens or can you start a new game with the full mod combo and travel to a different world?

My post above and your edits crossed each other.

The Traveler mod was just updated to full release a short while ago, v87 was fully released in Aug 2017. I had been using this version when it was in beta testing for eons and still have the full release now, as have many others. If you suspect it's the Traveler mod, then try downloading a fresh copy. Or you could opt to try the beta testing version v88 that became available just the other day though we've no reports of such crashing on either one.

I still have to ask if this is happening in only one world/ongoing save or if a new game behaves the same way. Or if you are clearing your scriptCache file, those seem to be the two remaining questions from the above.

For assistance with interpreting script error logs, that is a service we happily provide at NRaas. Can't really do that here.

It's my favorite mod, too.

The next step in troubleshooting, when you are able to return to this, would be to pull your TS3 user game folder out of Documents to the Desktop for safekeeping and try exactly what you just did, a fresh game in Sunset Valley, no other mods than the three listed, and a trip to a known to be safe to play world from there on the clean no content added folder that will get spawned in the original one's place (after setting up the Framework on it again of course).

If you still get a crash, then I'll have to direct you to our developer at NRaas. He will want to see any ErrorTrap script logs that may have been generated on these worlds along the way (the more recent ones, I mean). He will also want to know the specs of the system you are playing on, and whether the crash happens if you travel to a WA world without Traveler in play (I think you said it did not prior?). Other than that, for the moment, I'm about out of ideas.

We actually might have a totally different underlying cause here.

Yes, travel to the future counts as a travel transition the same as the others.

The UAC issue breaking players' games is new, as in as of a few days ago or even more recently or at least it's only just now coming to our attention. It has nothing to do with how well or poorly UAC may have been behaving years ago. Or last month/week, even. If it's the case that this computer never receives Windows Updates of any kind and has not done so for a very long time, then you're right it may not be relevant. If you happen to be on Win 10 there (Edit: which I see you are not), you may not have such a choice if the computer is connected to the Internet in any way. Win 7/8 users are given choices, but if this update is hiding in a regularly scheduled monthly roll-up, it's going to be impossible to isolate unless or until Microsoft releases a fix or an undo for it.

Mods to help the travel transition are to fix in-game crated issues where the game engine fails to simulate the worlds being traveled to properly. The UAC, security update, or whatever it is that is driving this now, is a system problem that mods cannot help with. We're still trying to figure this one out, again it's a very new thing.

Igazor was this ever fixed ?

edit: Igazor here's why I ask, my Sim was trying travel from Lucky Palms to Hidden Springs.
This applies to me & Chain says he's not sure when he will get to it, so I need to know did he fix the problem ?

That issue from two years ago was looked at, fixed, adjusted again, re-fixed, put through beta testing, and released as Traveler v87 in Aug 2017. The bit about Chain not having time to look at it was very short-term back then, as in a week or two. If you have the current version of Traveler or the new one now in beta testing, v88, the problem has long since gone away and it never really caused crashing, just misalignment of relationships and world assignments among the four affected EA Store worlds and some custom ones.

The only differences between the fully released Traveler v87 and the v88 one currently in beta testing are a fix for the ITF Base Camp string (the text name), a small bug regarding Favorites getting lost under some circumstances, and a fix for broken Photography skill challenges. The biggest risk of running a beta version like that is the need to update it if and when 88a, b, c, etc. come out if one of the changes were found to be faulty or more fixes or features got added.

But we still don't know why your game is crashing. I still think it's something external to the game causing it from you have described even if Traveler is ending up being the trigger. Guess we're waiting still for the next phase of this test, the rinse and repeat steps with Traveler back in play?

You don't really need to wait for the post-travel cooldown period to run out before traveling again if that's the reason, unless you want to. I'm pretty sure (am not in-game right now) that can be unlocked under NRaas > Traveler > Allowable Travelers once the mod is in place. I've had mine get home and leave again before even having had time to unpack their bags.

Igazor it worked !
Don't know what happened, but it seems to have cleared itself up.
I was trying to get Sim A from Lucky Palms to Hidden Springs to meet Sim B. using the nhd file from the saves in Sim B file.
(hoping they liked each other and married )
This is one of the features I liked so much about the travelers mod, the Sims could travel to other worlds & meet other Sims I have played.
It was causing my game to crash.
But today, it worked ! Amazing and I'm so happy now.
Thank you for all the time & attention you spent on this with me. Not sure what happened, I just took the mods out and put them
back in but its a good day !
My Sim Donnie at the Hidden Springs Redwood Heights Luxury Lodge I changed into a Base Camp looking confused.
He wanted to go to a party, but I made him do this instead. Now he wants to meditate :D
I want him to meet this female Sim I've been playing, hopefully they can have a life together. Fingers crossed.


I want him to meet her, Shea, hope he likes her


Donnie says hi


And Shea looks happy to meet him


We'll see how this goes :)

We certainly don't want to undo or dissect anything further if it's all working now. But from your descriptions it still sounds to me like the crashes were system related and Traveler was just being the trigger, not the underlying cause. Is it possible that since six weeks ago you have installed new Windows patches that might have fixed the original problem already or rolled some suspicious ones back, or made any other systems changes?

Other than that, probably not worth trying to track down since it seems to be fine now (we hope).
