sims 3 world adventure won't load world

@Hirity  Please try traveling in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  Don't add anything to it yet; just start a new save, pick a random premade household, and see whether they can travel to France.

If you have the same issue, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

If the sims make it to France successfully, let the game clock run for a sim-day or so and send them home.  If that works too, you can copy your save from the old folder to the new one; saves are in the Saves folder, naturally, and each save has a folder labeled with its name and a .sims3 extension.  Don't add anything else yet, unless your sims live in a Store or custom world, in which case install that world and nothing else.  Let me know whether your sims can travel.
