Game crashes when I try to go to custom university world?

Hi all!

As the title says, my game crashes every time I try to go to my custom university world. I've tried both SimMeapolis by MySimRealty (a world slightly larger than the current Uni world) and Pinewood Academy by TeaWitch on MTS which is significantly smaller. Both crash no matter how I try to enter them, be they through Edit Town or by enrolling. I remember trying TeaWitch's world way back when and I didn't have this problem, so I'm wondering what has changed now to make it impossible... And if it can be possible once more, as the default world is so huge and laggy. I really can't stand it.

Thanks so much.

  • If you can travel to (enroll) and Edit Town on EA's Uni World, even if you aren't very fond of the place, I would have to say that it's the custom worlds themselves causing the problem, the method by which they were installed so that they behave as Uni Worlds should, or issues with the homeworld they are being transitioned into from. (ooh, I've just ended a sentence with not one but two prepositions and I'm too tired right now to fix that...)

    Have you considered trying the NRaas Traveler mod, if you don't already have it in play? Seems odd that it would help with the world transitions in this case if you can't even Edit Town the custom worlds, but it certainly shouldn't make anything worse.

    Can you install either of these worlds as if they were homeworlds (if this is possible) and start a game in them, or does that crash on you as well?

    I have just installed the Traveller mod and am going to try it out shortly. SimMeapolis can be installed as a homeworld and it allows me to travel there with no issues. I'm going to try moving to a different town and then enrolling, to see if that's the issue. Thank you for your suggestions!

    EDIT: Not travel, but I did start a new game there and it worked. Oopsie.
  • UPDATE: After some experimenting, I've determined that the reason why I can't travel to the custom Uni world is because my homeworld is buggy. Tried it in Sunset Valley and all was well. Thank you for your suggestions, I wouldn't have thought of them otherwise.
