The adults in household are already traveling...but they aren't

I received the opportunity for a free vacation for the adults in the house. I clicked yes, but the adults never left for this vacation. Now their portraits are grayed out and it says they are traveling. When I try to go on vacation the option for "travel" is also grayed out and when you rollover it says "the adults in this household are already traveling", but they are not. When a new sim ages up to an adult they acquire the error.

I have scoured the message boards and no one seems to have a resolution.

I have tried moving the family to another house, resetting the sims, overwatch, and errortrap. Nothing has worked and I would like to send my sims on vacation. Anyone have any luck resolving this issue?

  • Yeah, that's a known bug. I never let my Sims accept that opportunity.

    I'm surprised though thte OW and ET don't solve the issue for you. 

    Can you save the family to the library and then place them in a new game ? You'll loose all relationships with other Sims but your family might be saved with that. Don't know if it works though.

    If that does not work I would suggest posting at Twallan's wiki if he can think of a reason why OW and ET don't do their job.

    Seriously? Thanks for the warning. I won't accept that in the future!

    Thanks. :catsurprised:

  • I moved my active family out (not with house, just move out) and when it cancelled all interactions in town it seems to have done the trick ... my sim can now go to college!!

    Hope this helps someone! 🙂

    To clarify, you need to go into "Edit Neighbourhood" and move out that way. Just moving house won't work. You should get a warning that this will cancel any wishes and interactions. Click yes, that is what you need to do.

    I can enroll my sim in University, but travel in World Adventures is still broken.


    It now says "Due to unexpected circumstances, travel plans had to be cancelled. You'll receive a full refund"

    To fix World Adventures, I made a copy of my household and then placed the copy back into the Neighbourhood. Obviously, this is a huge pain that is best avoided if possible. Free vacations, just say no!

    I just figured out how to do it🙂))) *sims friends ands wishes will be gone but their skill and achievements will still be there*
    Go to edit town
    Click on your active sims house and copy house hold to the clipboard
    Go to the main menu and click a new game
    You sims will be on the clip board when you start the new game
    Now you can place your sims any where in that town and play with them
    When I did that the traveling bug was totally gone and my sims when to college and France🙂
