Re: [FIXED] [OR] [JA] Game crashes when travelling to vacation world with friends

After more intensive testing, I have narrowed down the problem. 

Please note, that I did not mention that my sims household were on vacation with four friends before the update.

As suggested by yourself, I ended my vacation and they all went home. 

My played household live in Windenburg, so I had them map travel as a household to several other worlds, this worked fine.

I then had them map travel to several worlds with the group they had been on vacation with, this also worked fine.

I then had them book a vacation as a household (minus friends) in Selvadorada in the exact same rental unit.  Once they were in Selvadorada, I had them map travel within that world, which worked fine. Whereas before, when they were with their friends, it would crash my game.  

I therefore find the problem to be households cannot go on vacation to Selvadorada with others and travel within that world without my game crashing.

Based on this, I thought I would then test the destination world, Granite Falls, and see if the same problem would occur.  i.e not being able to map travel with groups made up of more than one household.

However, I encountered another problem, when I tried to book a vacation in Granite Falls, on the destination world icon, I saw the following error ! This world is unavailable because there are no rental units left.  Change a lot back into a rental unit in order to have it be useable again.  But when checking the Granite Falls map, all the lots are set to Rental.  I went into build mode and double checked all the lot types were set correctly.  I noticed that the Maxis' campground for example, was set to Rental, but had no rental price listed on it, only the size 30x20 and the lot price, as though it was for sale.  Therefore I could not rent any units there, even though they were set to rental.  I did not have this error before the update, as I looked at Granite falls as a vacation world, but decided on Selvadorada. 

Hope this makes sense.  

I will therefore not use the Destination worlds for the time being, as they seem pretty borked and cause game crashing.

Thanks for all your help.

    @Chumpelet Thansk for the testing.

    Will try what you've described in my game (I don't have a save though where I have a family in either destination world to test that part).

    To be sure for Granite Falls, the lots don't show a price for you when you hover the lot to get info on map view ? Could you maybe add a pic how that looks for you ?

    EDIT: Tested the scenario in my save and the game did not crash.

    Could you test if the same issue persist for you on a fresh save and would you mind sending me yours ? Instructions in my signature.

    That is exactly the same scenario that I am facing at the moment. My main Sim, who moved out of her family's household, is trying to vacation with the rest of her family. However, when trying to travel anywhere within Selvadorada, my game continues to crash. I repaired all the game files on both Origin and Steam, but still faced this same issue. I then uninstalled and reinstalled the game completely in hopes that would resolve this issue, yet it continued to occur. Unless I restore previous save files, my Sims are essentially stuck in Selvadorada. 

    I tested this same scenario with a single household vacationing to Selvadorada and just as you stated, I did not encounter any issues with the game crashing. Therefore, it is specific to Sims vacationing in Selvadorada with others outside of their household. 

    I really hope this is resolved soon =(

  • I also have this exact problem with salvadorada. I had my sims and friends on vacation before the update too and I can't travel anywhere with them. I tried a whole new save and set my new household to salvadorada and I still couldn't travel. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game along with uninstalling my mods and clearing cache etc but so far I'm still encountering the problem. Like the others it is only with friends. I think this is probably a bug caused by the new update as the star wars pack is a vacation type pack so I'm not sure how to fix it unless they patch it. If you can help I would appreciate it.

  • This is happening to me too. I play on Xbox One & when on holiday, whenever I try to travel my game will automatically close down and revert me back to the Xbox One home screen.

    Me too, and I tried to remove the mods folder, but it still didn't work, I don't know what to do

  • I has the same issue tonight when playing. I took my sim on vacation with another sim that lives in separate household. When I tried to travel from rental house to the bar/shop area in jungle Sims 4 crashed. I do not use mods or cc, never have. On a Windows 10 PC. It seems if you take sims from seperate households it will crash as well. 

  • Most likely EA made a programming error when coding the new patch/update. My understanding is that All players are having issues with the game crashing. Either this is deliberate Crash by EA to deprive you of the sims so that you are more likely to buy the next game, and don't wear yourself out playing 4, or they just made a big mistake and you will probably have to wait until the next update to play. 

    Maybe EA doesn't like the idea that you can buy their game once and then play it forever so they deliberately make the game crash and force you to buy their new game.
