Sims disappearing after coming home from university

@puzzlezaddict thank you for replying so fast! 🙏

Omg, I would love for you to help me!! I've been sitting with these two sisters for 2days straight, trying to figure out how to solve the problem. I think I'm gonna go crazy soon 🤯

So I downloaded mods for the first time after this save. To see if it would fix the problem, but it didn't. So it's not saved with modes, but I have the modes running now. Don't know if that is necessary information for you tho.

Anyhow the modes I have are those you recommended to download in an earlier post. Nraas errortrap, mastercontroller, overwatch. And then I got the nointro and nobuildsparkles(that I didn't even know I had, saw them just now)

The save is like 3h before they automatically are sent home. When I come back home to their world. It’s like everything about them is erased.

They live in Bridgeport btw(from Late night ).

The EP/SP I have is:

Ambition

World adventure

Late night

Pets

Season

University life

Island paradise(installed this after the save tho, because.. Yeah as I said, I tried everything)

The SP I have:

Town stuff

Save is in the post below. 

Thank you so much for looking into this 🙏

@NaomiBlack  Try adding NRaas Traveler too, and Register for good measure; I've seen it help in other cases.  Please also delete the five cache files in the Sims 3 user folder again:

• CASPartCache.package
• compositorCache.package
• scriptCache.package
• simCompositorCache.package
• socialCache.package

If that doesn't help, let me know, and I'll mess with your save tonight.

@puzzlezaddict I have deleted those five cache files before, and nothing got better. Now I tried with the Nraas Traveler mode as well and deleted the cache files again, but everything is so much slower now and the game keeps crashing all the time 😫. Feels like I tried everything now. If you have the time to try my save, I would be so thanksfull! 

@NaomiBlack  I had no trouble getting your sims home from University, that is with a small pile of mods installed.  Here's a save with them back in Bridgeport:

I'm wondering though why so many people's saves are affected on their computers and not mine.  It would help if you could post the specs of your Mac: everything under About This Mac except for the serial number.  I'd like to start comparing specs among players with this issue.

@puzzlezaddict Thank you thank you thank you so so much, you made my day! 🙏

Regarding the spec of my computer, hehe I wish you didn't ask. I mean I know it's old as h*ll, and that might be one of the things that are causing the problem. But now when I play I have no problem in the game as long as I don't travel somewhere. As soon as I'm going back to college and then home again, the same issue repeating itself. I even tried moving to another town and going to uni from there, but going home just seems to be too much for my computer. 😔🤷‍♀️

@NaomiBlack  Thanks for the info.  I do wonder if there's something specific that causes the travel transition to bounce, for example maybe the fact that your processor only has two cores.  (That's just speculation, which is why I want more info from other affected people.)  Old or not, your computer should be able to run Sims 3, but the 64-bit version does have plenty of odd or unexplained issues.

Out of curiosity, does the travel transition also fail when your sims return from one of the World Adventures vacation worlds?  I'm wondering whether the problem is reloading the homeworld in general as the sims go home or the issue is specific to returning from University.

If you want your sims to get degrees, you might look into setting up a homeworld university.  You'd need mods, or rather one mod is required and the usual set is recommended for overall game stability.  It's not the same as traveling to University, but it's something.

Anyway, I'm glad I could help.  Enjoy your game.

Hi please help me! I just recently started to play sims 3 again and having the same problem at the moment. I have deleted the cache files as well as downloaded Nraas overwatch, traveler , register and error trap like you suggested but nothing seems to work!

My sims were living in Isla Paradiso and were coming home from University. I have no CC.

I have all the packs except 70s-90s stuffs, movie stuffs and outdoor living stuffs.

My game is running on Imac 2020, 8-core.
