Sim being held hostage by university

My sim finished her term and it gave me the option to start a new term or to take a break, so I chose take a break which no longer made her a student at the school which is fine, but then I get the "packing up and moving out" notification telling me to get all my sim's stuff so she can get ready to leave. So I start packing up her things so I can re-enroll her into a new term, and cancelled the event action, hoping I could move my sim to the other dorm since she was once again a student, but it won't let me. Every time I cancel the moving out notification, it comes back which is preventing me from traveling or saving my game. I let the event finish and click ok but it keeps restarting. I had to drop out of school, just to get it to stop which means she lost all her credits and I lost progress in my gameplay. I had to quit without saving

    Do you have any mods? If so try removing your mods folder and deleting the localthumbscache.package in your Sims 4 folder. I personally haven’t had this issue, canceling the event has worked just fine for me. If you have no mods, you may want to try repairing your game. If neither of those suggestions help, you may want to report it here as a bug.

    I do use mods, so I'm going to do what you suggested to see if that fixes the issue. I might even try it with a vanilla save and see if the issue is still there.

    I also have had this issue. Especially when re-enrolling my sim to university while packing up. This ends the packing up and that glitch happens.
