Greyed out travelers

It's a bug probably caused by the phone update. It's already under investigation.

In order to invite someone to travel with you they have to be on the same lot as you. I tried it out and that is the workaround. My sim was home alone, her entire panel was greyed out. I had her invite her friends to "hangout on current lot" and as soon as the stepped on to the lot their picture was no longer greyed out.

It's a bug, I wrote about it on EA bug reports. The workaround is to press M and travel this way. You can choose sims then to travel with you.

If you hit M to access the map you can choose who you want to travel with. It's what I do till they fix it. Hope it helps.

'M' does allow an entire household to travel. It's a great workaround for a single household. I often have multiple households in my traveling groups and 'M' doesn't help in those cases. I still have to get the sims from the other households onto my lot to travel as a group. I have groups consisting of multiple households more than half the time.

Sorry, I don't know if I understood correctly, I've never tried. I tried with 1 sim inviting a few others.

'M' will automatically invite everyone on the lot at the time. In cases like mine I have sims in two different households meeting in a third location. I have to somehow get them on the same lot at the same time and then we can travel as a group.

'M' is great workaround if everybody is already together in one place before they set off.

No, when I hit M my whole household appears on the world map and I can choose a destination lot.

EDIT: Aaaaah, I take everything back! The Sim selection appears AFTER choosing the lot! And here I can still select everyone, nobody is greyed out. Thank you :) !

@GalacticGal @alanmichael1 I've tried what you're describing and all it does in my game is send my sim's household. I'm never offered the chance to choose who comes with my sim. When I do what you're describing when I click on the destination my sim and any household members go with her, no option is given to chose anyone else to go along. The only way, the only, that my sim can choose who goes with her is through the travel option on the phone and it's still broken.

I play on a Mac, even though they refer to DLC as available for PC/Mac I'm beginning to believe the two versions are vastly more different than you would believe. I know they're not going to be twins, but I would expect them to be closer together. I've said it many times, my game doesn't work like a lot of yours do. Just a couple of hours ago I thought it was all because of my old CC coming back to haunt me. Now I wonder if the weirdness is entirely due to my being on a Mac and not a PC. I'm about to find out shortly. I did a massive mod folder clean out. I removed 70GB, not a typo, of CC some of which dates back to 2014.

Don't know if it's happening to anyone else but I noticed that after seeing the greyed options if you talk to them a little bit they may open back up for traveling a few teens I couldn't go out with before are now options a few days later.

I noticed this too. Strange.

I have that happening in my game too. It's a bug....just add that to the list of all the other bugs this patch/EP has brought.
