Sims don't arrive at travel destination
As written in the title, when I send my sims on vacation, the panel is empty. They don't arrive there. I already browsed through the internet and tried various solutions, but nothing worked. And I'm...

Okay, so I managed to view my fps using the control panel... and HOLY, it's jumping between 200 and 270 at increadible speed.
I didn't know Isla Paradiso was this... buggy. I noticed that I kept having lags because NPCs got stuck somewhere, but tbh I simply deleted half of the sims on the island. But as much as I'd enjoy that island-features, I'd rather restart from the beginning than continue as it is now. Could it be that my fps is going insane because of Isla Paradiso?
So I can try to fix my homeworld using the link you sent me?
If I manage to fix my homeworld but traveling still doesn't work, I'd really appreciate a mod to help me. I did find a few links while browsing through solutions but they lead to dead websites. So... yes, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for helping me and guiding me through this.
@Saddy-chin Fps and Isla Paradiso are two completely independent issues. Your fps is a function of your graphics card, and playing in IP doesn't make a difference. You really do need to bring those frame rates down, no matter what world you want to play in.
As far as IP goes, you can do all the listed steps yourself if you're willing to put in the time and effort. Or, you can just download user ciane's already fixed up version—it loads as a save, so you can start playing forward from there. You can save your existing family to the bin (if you want to save the house too, you should probably do so separately) and then place them in a new neighborhood, whether it's the fixed version of IP or somewhere else. Once its issues have been addressed, IP plays quite smoothly.
Side note: You should never object-delete sims (or pets, or imaginary friends that have become animated). Doing so only deletes their bodies; their data remains in the game and can cause corruption down the road.
For mods that will help keep your game as glitch-free as possible, you'll want NRaas ErrorTrap and Overwatch. Combining them with Traveler fixes most of the problems associated with broken travel transitions. If you've never used mods, I highly recommend reading about how they work before using them. And, of course, adding third-party content to your game is not officially endorsed by EA, so use at your own risk, etc. Also, be sure to select the correct download for ErrorTrap, as it has a different version for patch 1.69/Origin, patch 1.67/disc, and patch 1.67/Steam installs. (The other mods will all work on both 1.67 and 1.69.)

I tried to save my family to the family bin... but it didn't work. I got the loading screen but once it was 'done' I saw my family wasn't saved. That's why I am more or less unable to leave Isla Paradiso with my family as it is. I mean... If there's no way around it, I guess I have to restart from the very beginning and recreate them in CAS. I'd rather do that than keep playing with these problems.
Well, I did save my house, at least that's something. I will get ciane's fixed version then and take a look at the other mods you recommended. I hope that will fix the travelling problem and keep others from appearing.
I'll say thanks for now and try to get the mods running.
Thank you a lot for your help.@Saddy-chin At the very least, the family should still be in the bin from when you originally created them in CAS. You would have had to place them from the library into town, so unless you deleted them, they'll still be there. (If you tried a clean folder, they'll be an entry in Library inside your old game folder.)
Even if they're not, you can bring up the cheat console (crtl-shift-c) and enter "testingcheatsenabled true" without quotes. Then shift-click on one sim and select "Edit in Create-a-Sim." Once in there, you should be able to save the sim to the bin (along the bottom of the screen, I think you want the ". . ." button). So when you're ready to start a new game, you can bring up the list of premade sims, and your sims will be there for you to put back together as a family. Sims saved this way are stored in files in your SavedSims folder.
Edit: Maybe the problem is that you already have a family of the same name (i.e. these sims when you created them) in your library. You can move those files out of your game folder (in Library) to see if it makes a difference.
