  • @Thatonegirlie777  If you're willing to use mods at all, please install NRaas Traveler, along with ErrorTrap, Overwatch, Register, and MasterController, all of which are described here:

    Traveler replaces the travel transition with a more stable version, ET and OW clean up bad data in general, and Register fixes issues with role assignments (e.g. clerks that work at registers).  MC doesn't do anything at all unless you use it to issue a command; the others do their job without any need for user input.  I personally would never play without them and would certainly not send my sims traveling without protection.

    I would also suggest running an MC reset before you send your sim away.  Click on City Hall and select NRaas > MC > Town Options > Reset Everything.  It'll let you know when it's done.

    If you're not willing to use mods, I can help you try to get through the travel transition with your sim intact.  But it's likely you'll see this same problem on the return trip, and that will probably be more resistent to interventions than this transition.  So I don't know whether it's a good idea to pursue traveling without mods, at least in this save and on this computer.

    Regardless of how you proceed, please use "save as" to rename the save, which will leave the original intact as a backup should you need it.  It's possible your sim will be stranded at University even with mods, although less likely than if you play without them, and this way, you'll at least have an unaffected copy of the sim.
