    @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 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!
