[UNSURE] [ROM] Camera doesn't auto-focus on Sim after using portal

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Legacy Edition 1.59.73.1520
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get Together, Realm of Magic, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Vampires, Spa Day, Backyard, Luxury Party, Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Spooky, Vintage Glamour
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? in the realm of magic, I traveled to Caster's Alley, and wasn't able to return to "HQ" through the portal
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim disappears into portal, but map does not change to desired area, trapping sim in caster's alley. If given another task to do, sim reappears from portal and acts fine
What do you expect to see? Sim entering portal, then screen area changing back to the map where the library and sages are, "HQ"
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

One of my mods prevented my sims from entering caster's alley, so I tried running the game bare bones, no mods at all. Sim was able to enter caster's alley, but was unable to leave, fading out when nearing the portal, but not actually moving to back to the HQ map. Sim was able to leave the portal and reappear back in caster's alley, but no matter how many times I clicked 'return to hq' the map did not revert to that area

    Hey y'all! I'm new to this, so go easy on me. I recently installed the "Realm of Magic" Game Pack and everything was working just fine, until I tried to send my Sim to 'The Gardens' floating island. My Sim entered the portal but nothing happened on my end, so she basically just vanished until I put something in her cue on the mainland. I tried sending her to 'Caster Alley,' but the same thing happened.

    Help?!?

    I'm really sure how to go about fixing this haha. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    All magic islands are one open world. Portals work here like a door at home. Click outside the portal for example near the store. When your sim buys a flying broom, he will not use the portals anymore, he will fly straight to the point where you click.

    @AlgaeG I merged your post with a bug report on this.

    I don't know if it's a bug but the problem is that the game doesn't auto-focus on the Sim after you used the portal.

    Try clicking on the portrait to auto-focus and the Sim should be on the other side of the portal on the island.
