Re: My Sims 4 Game Gets Stuck Traveling

@JessDsy Could possibly be something about the lot you're trying to travel to.

Does it work if you use another lot ?

    I don't think it's a specific lot because when I do the regular travel instead of a social event that doesn't work either.

    Funny you ask that because yesterday I went to play the game on that save, and before I went into a family in the save I wanted to move a few households around first. And when I clicked on a household to play in that save it wouldn't load, it just kept spinning and spinning and spinning. And I've never had this issue before so now it seems like NOTHING is loading in that save. I have mods in my game but I just recently updated them and I also got rid of some other ones. I've had this save file for such a long time and it would beak my heart if I couldn't play it anymore. But I was thinking, do you think if I restored a save for that save file if that could maybe fix things?

    @JessDsy It's best to first try without any mods at all. Backup your save, remove your mods, delete localthumbcache file and check if the save loads.

    If not, yeah, you might need to load an older backup.

    I'm just sooo confused because I'm playing on a completely different save file right now and the traveling and loading works just fine

    @JessDsy The other save probably corrupted and if you play with outdated mods, it can happen again.

    Did you test if the other save works with no mods ?

    There is a bug that can cause endless loading screens if you travel to the Snowy escape festival lots.

    So I just repaired my game and deleted the lumbcahe and I went on to the save file that was giving me trouble. I clicked on a unplayed household just to see if it would load or not. It surprisingly did, so since it worked I used to MCC command center to switch between households because I thought maybe that might work instead. So I choose the household that I've been so hard to play and it just wouldn't complete the load. Like WTF!?

    Are your Sims all on the home lot or is one on that wedding one ? Which Sim are you trying to load ? One on the home lot ?

    I'm not talking about how the social event won't load anymore, I'm talking about going into a certain household to play as them. Which one in particular isn't working but other households I can load into on that save file. Which doesn't make sense.

    @JessDsy Yes, but did you play your Sim since they traveled to that lot ? They might actually be stuck there now, making it impossible to load the save when you load the Sim..

    Hence the question if all the Sims that live on that lot are on that lot or on another. It could also be the home lot that corrupted which is why you can't load it anymore.

    Can you enter the lot in build mode ?

    I had them living in San Myshuno and I could go into the house but traveling wouldn't work. And then I moved them into a lot in Del Sol Valley (mind you this lot I've never had issues with) and that won't even let me go into the house.

    I tried doing it with a recovered save and it didn't work. I decided to go into the household of that lot and add the family I've been trying to play through cheats (testingcheatstrue) When I added the household to family it was them and the sim who was already in the household. I played and it went fine. Now I just went in to play as them and it didn't work. Idk why it's not because I added them through cheats. 



    I'm going to make the household that's messed up into a new household in manage worlds. I'll click on the house that I want them to live in and I'll see if that works and just add them to the house again (through manage worlds not cheats) I'll let you know how it goes.

    I tried and it didn't work. No matter where I move these 3 specific Sims into it just doesn't load. Ive never had an issue with this and I've been playing as these Sims for a long time so I dont understand why all of a sudden those 3 Sims are messed up. I'm going to separate the 2 of them into their own households and see if I can figure out who the corrupted sim is bc I think that might be the issue. 



    I just realized also that I moved in a glitchy sim who was apart of my game (my Sims met him randomly in school) after they got engaged so he might be the issue. He was buggy bc I cheated him into the house and he wouldn't show up and he was on the bar at the bottom but it was like he was lost somewhere, but I did end up fixing it. I realllly hope he's just the problem.

    Yup 🙂 

    It just sucks tho because the sim that was causing the issue always bugs out whenever I invite him over and if I travel with him then my game never loads. But at least he was just an NPC sim lol
