Re: Sims 3 keeps crashing when traveling home from university

@amberzero0  I'm not sure why your game was having such issues with the travel transition, but I got through it on the first attempt.  I have a save of your sim safely at home, with the University mascot strutting up the walkway for some reason, which I'll send you.

The issue you're seeing might have something to do with custom content; I didn't install any, only the packs and worlds you listed.  I did get the missing items warning when loading University, but that could come from store content or a missing stuff pack as well.

Anyway, check your PMs for a download link.

    Hey, I know this was roughly 3 years ago, however is there any chance you have any new knowledge or tips on this or can help in any way? I’m experiencing the same thing, 9pm hits and my sim automatically travels home, the load screen gets about 50% and then crashes. I have tried every step you listed multiple times and it has gotten better and loaded to about 75% but still crashes. 

    It’s always been a little laggy but has always been playable and keeping the graphics low has made things smoother. Most issues have been fixed by repairing or rebooting, but this has been impossible to get past. Any new knowledge or insight you have in this or any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    This is a 2017 macbook pro running Catalina 10.15.7

    I have downloaded NRaas ErrorTrap, Overwatch, and Traveler. They all are in my mods folder with Resource.cfg.


    Packs are:

    University

    Seasons

    Pets

    Late Night

    High-End Loft Stuff

    World Adventures

    Locations:

    Hidden Springs

    @NickBridgwater  Everything troubleshooting step I can think of is already in this thread.  The only other suggestion I have is that if you're interested, I could try to get your sims home on my Mac.  Sometimes it works for me when it doesn't for others.  If you want me to try, zip your save folder, upload it somewhere, and either post the link here or send it to me via private message.
