"Transportalate" and "Teleport Here" don't work on large, heavily decorated lot.

Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.102.190.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All EPs except Horse Ranch, all GPs and SPs.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load in a particularly large and well-decorated lot, and try using the "Teleport Here" testingcheat, or "Transportalate" spell from Realm of Magic. Strangely, does not apply to Vampire teleportation (Mist/Bat)What happens when the bug occurs? Upon selecting these actions, the Sim resets in place, as if "Reset Object (DEBUG)" had been used, and the Sim does not teleport. The action to teleport doesn't even momentarily appear in their action queue.What do you expect to see? See above. Oddly enough, this only happens on my Sim's home lot. It works fine on any other standard lot, or if I bulldoze the penthouse on a backup save and try it on a blank version of the same lot.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. I don't exactly remember when it started, but this has been the case for a few patches now. I immediately assumed out-of-date mods, but trying it with all mods and CC disabled did not fix it.‌I think it has to do with the amount of stuff loaded in, but there ought to be a fix for Spellcasters with big houses to still be able to teleport at home. Would love for EA to fix this, or if people know of any mods to work around it.

@CarsonFijal&nbsp;Usually when the teleport option or transporiate fail is because there is not enough clear space to land where you clicked.&nbsp; It's basically a routing fail.&nbsp; They usually need at least a 2-tile x 2-tile landing spot.&nbsp; If you are say, trying to land them in a one tile wide space, they won't do it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even though it still happens after you remove your mods, it could still be mod related.&nbsp; So, try moving the mods folder to your desktop, delete the localthumbcache file and try that way to see if it still happens.&nbsp; If it still happens, then try a user folder reset.Hope this helps.

It's not a spacing issue, this happens even when teleporting to a wide-open space.

Tried moving the mod folder to the desktop and deleting localthumbcache, didn't work.

Tried a folder reset, didn't work.

@CarsonFijal In my game, heavily decorated lot, or expensive lot will take longer to have the teleport queue shown up. I guess the game might do some calculation for each item in the lot. Too many items loaded in the lot makes it take longer to 'calculate'. That's what I guess. The more expensibe (or more items), the longer it takes. You might wait a little longer to see the queue will show up or not. Cheers!
