sims 4 teleport any sim broken

hello, so i recently started having a problem with the sims 4 teleport any sim mod. i was able to use the mod fine in may of 2019 to pose my sims and then i deleted it with the pose player mod after a while because i started to become bored with it. i was looking on instagram and found that using the pose player mod enhances roleplaying so i decided to download it again. just yesterday, i downloaded a bunch of poses, the teleport mod, and the pose player mod. i started my game and played with my family and i decided to test it out. i placed the teleport statue down, but when i went back into live mode to summon my sim, the mouse came up with a red sign. i was bummed and didn't know what to do so i decided to google the issue. no one was having the same problem as me. i found a lot of issues with the same mod but not the same as me and they were all from 2017 and 2018. i have script mods turned on, i tried different links to the mod, but nothing seems to work. i was hoping to find some help so i can happily play and pose my sims again. please help me! thank you 🙂☹️

@Lola18790 I am quite familiar with TeleportAnySim by the great modder scumbumbo, who sadly enough passed away last year. The mod is now updated and maintained by Andrew, the creator of the pose player.
It is always advised to save the game (even better, do a Save As) before using this mod as it can lead to unforeseen/undesired consequences. It is basically invoking a highly invasive cheat code after all. For example, trying to teleport a spellcaster with an active familiar can completely corrupt your game file, and if you save after doing that, your save game will be left permanently broken!
I have checked and this mod is not considered broken by any of the tracking sites I use. My guess would be that you are suffering a conflict with another mod somewhere. You mentioned a red sign when hovering over the statue and to be honest, I've never seen or heard of anything like that. Did you remove your localthumbscache after installing the mod? You may also just have been extremely unlucky in your selection of sims to be teleported.
Try removing all your mods, then redownload TeleportAnySim, install it ONLY with the pose player (without any pose animations), delete your localthumbscache and then try again. If that still does not work, you may have to repair your game.
Best of luck!

@Lola18790 I've moved your post to the Sims 4 general discussion section. While specific mods are not supported on this site, and people are generally supposed to ask the mod creators for help with troubleshooting, maybe someone here knows how to help.

@DMDragonCT okay so i tried that and the teleporter now works so it must be something in my mods folder corrupting that mod. correct?

@Lola18790 Good to hear that it worked! And yes, I would assume that there was a conflict somewhere. Although it might have just been the localthumbcache interfering with the normal operation of the teleporter. If you want to keep the mods you removed, add some back in, check the game and see if that affects the TeleportAnySim, then repeat. Remember to delete the localthumbcache file after each time you add mods back to your folder. Depending on the number of mods, it may take a while to find the culprit, but such is the lot with modded gaming. It might also have been an out-dated one. So make sure to look for updates of all the mods you're currently using.
Happy Simming!

I’m having the same problem now. I’ve never used mods before and came across this on a Facebook page. I downloaded both the Pose mod and the Teleporter Mod and I have the exact same problem. Mods and scripted mods are active so I don’t know what it can be?
I’ve deleted and redownloaded and it’s still not working. I also can’t download the teleporter mod from the internet because it’s registered under Mega which won’t let me open and download it... so I had to download it off of another page which could be the problem?

@jmkennard I think this mod is either broken or corrupted. When you have any issues with mods or cc you should ask the developer or creator on their webpage. Mod use is always at your own risk. When mods do not work or interfere with your game or saves you should think about keeping them or not.
Have fun playing. 😉

looks like whickedwhims is what * the statue.. pain in the * to uninstall just for some poses.. someone just make all poses compatible with the whickedwhims poser wich is superior in every way to andrews..
